The Dark Continent
Why is Africa the dark continent?
Is it the skin, but this is skin-deep…
Is it the hope, which by faith we keep? 
Is it the future, which we cannot see,
Or is it the label 
That was given unfortunately?

When we in Africa
Look up at the bright blue...

Premium Member To Eat a Continent Is Not So Strange
Waves could wash away certain blue memories but they're too blue. Today I've sat in two places, my heart full of you and how in the night under a half man in the moon too soon, too soon, did love die? Today I've sat in...

The African Continent
"Anytime the sun rise,it smiles with me, 
And when it's setting,cries with me,
It really loves my race,
Respects my unique custom,
Always praying to get closer to me,
How colourful it breaks its rays into me,
My children likes it,
How good and powerful it is,
Violence can't intimidate when it...

A Continent Half-Dead
Where can I find Africa alive?
Africans, a very sick population
language, diluted, truncated, lost
education, bedeviled, colored
economy, bed-ridden, in drips
democracy, without soul, spirit
industries, baseline and debased
agriculture, genetically modified
youth, foreign caricature beings
patriots, hidden agents of powers
mass media, devil’s delight
African essence, assimilated

Where can I find Africa alive?
all I see...

The Alien Continent
The white ice is glittering everywhere,
The view of that Continent is super,
The Arctic ocean is vibrating with glacier,
The seils, Panguins, whales are moving there.
The global warming is soaring rapidly,
The ice of the Artic are melting randomly,
The sea levels are rising dangerously,
The low lying countries will...

Premium Member Africa My Continent
Africa my continent
I remember you today as always
The cradle of civilization
The land of great and revered warriors

Endowed extravagantly with all God’s natural resources
Africa my continent
The land of great promise
Africa of Achebe’s Things fall Apart, I salute you.

Rise up and take your destiny in your own...

Love Fell Apart On the Same Continent
'the sun has ascendant between us,
between two pinched,
that bow to each other;
love with the sun ascendant,
has red on our orgasmic ally
stem;
we are now like a shadow, thy
set, in the same continent;
but kiss the air husbandry....

Cherry Blossom Continent
Imagine the world full of bloom
Imagine a continent full of the joy of smiling faces
They have magical power to transmit the warm gentle feeling to the others

Flowers come out from the ground where rain joins with fertilizer,
(All kinds of worms collaborate to make it happen!)

Humans...

Beyond This Huge Continent
Beyond this huge continent
where seas separate adored faces
and smiles smeared with sadness,
I left what was a living part of me;
spring meadows that seemed prairies 
with wildflowers giving more beauty 
to a sunset not wanting to fade away...
I can only remember them with regret!  ...

Say No To Xenophobia
I saw an angry African tower over a bleeding brother
I saw a by-passer look on, with little bother
I saw a neighbour inflict a new scar and a blister
I heard a woman’s yelling silence a pleading sister
A foreign accent crying out for help
A cry drowned out...

they call her 
the dark continent
though the sun shines 
brightest on her
blue rain pours on her 
every day 
making nonsense 
of her sun’s toil...

Horizontal parallel layti are latitude lines.
Vertical khari lambi are longitude lines.
Four directions to go
The time is now.
Note.Maps can only guide readers.
Lesson.The marker of imagination is an important ingredient....
