50 Years On This Physical Earth Poem by Edward Kofi Louis
50 Years On This Physical Earth
50 years on this physical earth,
But husting and busting to make my name known t the world!!
Because, i have a message at hand;
And, it is not easy being born in Africa and being raised in Africa from a very poor family!
For, i can't stop the rain from falling on my head when,
I have no roof!!!
And like what is going on today in East Africa!
With the reflections of one of my Art Works called: 'We don't have aids but hunger'! !
Yes, from the very acts of my mind;
Because i am an African,
And i do know what it means to be in Africa.
Today, i am to thank Father Yahweh for all of His mercy and kindness towards me;
For He had really guided my steps from thr rough paths of an African's own story,
And, let His Mercy endures forever!!
For Africa is for the Africans and we have to know what goes on around us everyday;
And, in the land of Africa i was born,
But, have you to say?!!
Because, i am very proud to be an African!
And like the muse of your love in the land of many waters that satisfies us all.
Growing up! ! ! Growing old! Musing along in Africa! ! ! ! Thanks for your comment on my poem. Stay blessed always.
Africa is for the Africans and not for the looters, terrorists and exporters! This is what you want to say, dear friend Koofi Louis?
To have dignity and pride, to love and have faith, to be grateful for everything good despite the harshness, poverty and struggle is reflected in your beautiful poem Edward....10
Heart rending poem! 'I can't stop the rain from falling on my head' That's a great line! To be born an African, experience the hazards of life in Africa and yet, be a proud African.Edward! i salute you!
