Africa Poem by TracyLee Eckstein

Africa

Rating: 4.8


The rhythm, the beat,
The love, the hate,
The cold, the heat,
The destiny, the fate

The country
wealthy
with poverty
The time
to change this cycle - The crime

The joy
In which the people employ.
The nation
with sickness, lack of education.

The death, the birth,
The richness of our wonderful earth.

Africa,
Full of culture,
The people love her.

I enjoyed this poem particularly because i can relate to the paradox... I liked that it wasnt pretentious with the usual 'African Sky' theme. Although i must admit the African sky is quite enchanting.....Love Zainab
