LOST IN AFRICA


spreading
Across the ridge
Under the bridge
Over the hills and valleys

Further than the scope of eyes
Extending majestically and proud
Across rivers and lakes
So beautiful and elegant
Covered in plush green
Swaying in awing admiration
Stretching at dusk and further at dawn
The sun setting on its path
Rising at its footstool
The wind worships
The sun adores
Gazelles and antelopes
giraffes and elephant
Strutting back and forth at your bosom.
Am lost in your beauty.
A perfect picture
Fitted in by steady arms
A work of art
Carefully drawn

Freedom, to you we’re bound If not, then death be it No more shall we be slaves. ...

I BORROWED

All i did was borrow. Borrowed without the owners consent. The sun rose and has now set. I have not made a cent To feed my hungry child, To tend to my sick son. Lying unconsciously probably even dead. I have failed as a man and father. But I die, not for myself, but for that child struggling to breathe Even as you drain all your energy on me Ask yourself this; are you better than me? Then you will understand. That I die for others but myself. I can stomach having nothing, In my stomach for one week. But the pain would be too much. For my three year old son. huddled somewhere in the cold. The only thing on, his skinny frame. And now you beat up his only hope. All because I borrowed a packet of milk. To save my only lifeless child. My life is in your hands and so is my son's. I cry these tears not for the pain I feel. But I cry for that little child. Cuddled up in the cold Perhaps waiting for me with hope of something to eat. God look after him for me ...
