Allan Terry Poet Bio

Maintain One's Composure

from  the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, 
     the waters shall fill the void
            a new Ocean in Africa
        the East African Rift Valley
wealth and fertility might the men of
             tomorrow  prosper
and might the woman of tomorrow love
                 love there men
    might a world marvel at waters
   life giving and destructive powers

                        Mami Wata or Yemoja
                       might what advice from 
                        Neptune yet his ambition
                       could cause us not to trust
                              the sandy shores
                    to be areas where his mermaids
                               tan and worship him
                      No,no spake Mami Wata through
           the ages they shall marvel at the power of God
                     ever puddle and every stream shall
                           curve the soils to be where
                                      the water meet
                        There in  between the gulf and sea
