Warm Heart of Africa

The emptiness and unhappiness so closely related Left her with a hole bigger than Kimberley. No man dug fortune, only misconception and silence. Her predecessors left her no gold to kick the dust off. They only left deprivation and separation she had children who truly loved her they all have abandoned her. They all scattered in homes of different notions. Some lost the native tongue Some sought for knowledge a cure for the depression The rest seek and extol gold day and night. The breadwinners are ineffectual and fragile. The ground has dried like the corn they desperately after. Some harvest in ties while others eat with scavengers. vultures camouflage themselves, the sun is bright outside. Sheep's have hidden fangs that appear sometimes. She was once a pillar of nations A driving force, with a tale that was longer than Danyang–Kunshan Grand. Tale became shorter due to sickness.
