Hibo Posted February 2, 2002 Breaze of full moon night i lie Among the starry sky twinkles a star Brightest of all upon many lands Black and pure green sweet africa Young nights that excite the youth Are known to home where nature rules Forever sunny is the land full of souls Africa my home my heart my daily beauty Crack of dawn with it born a red sky A rainbow spread red colour across the sky Birds of song emerging now, here they fly Tree tops so tall, firm with morning dews Morning calls of mosque and the cocks Awake as one here we rise to a beautiful day Another beautiful day in AFRICA, my home Elders in kashmire in talks of night gone Neighbours shouting greeting each other Faces so vibrant that are filled with joy Kisses so blissful on kids to the schools [This message has been edited by JamaaL-11 (edited 02-05-2002).] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hibo Posted February 3, 2002 Oh Jamal that was beautiful.. thnx aboowihiis...here is what I came up with...so mingle the words.. play around with it aliitle bit n see what we can make out of this two poems together...that sounds like a deal right??.. anyways here what I wrote... Africa, The motherland, our people call Lets explain to ourselves, No quarrels no war, Africa, No misunderstandings and rancor, No coup no rigging No water no roads? Africa OUR Africa…… Africa, the land rolled like mat Unrolled by might De-souled by fights Raped and de-robbed By capital flight. Africa, the blood Spread abroad by force Forced to crawl Over land like bandits. Africa bandage, Like healing soil, Soon will brim with life, Sprouting new crops, That shall fruit to replace the loot. I am that soul of Africa, Rolled with her history, Folded with her mystery, Rising to her misery Visited to her by the emissaries. I am the role to play Africa, The play un-staged in global commons, The tongue unchained for summons, In courts that cut justice in two. I AM THE TOOL THAT WILL FREE HANDS FROM CAPE TO CAIRO FROM RAPE TO RESPECT! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
