Foregive Me Africa Poem by Yehualashet Teshome

Foregive Me Africa

Rating: 5.0


I Came to Europe
Uninvited guest
A Nomad
Nowhere to complain
Cause this is my own making
Forgive me, Africa,
I am not coming home
I am uprooted
Married to a white
Got mulatto kids
Born in Europe
But, nomads like me
Homeless
Neither African nor European
Busy protecting them
From harm, from racism
Don't teach them wisdom at school
How to fend off
Humiliation, depression, aggression
Segregation, glorification
I got a job to do
To keep my kids safe
Forgive me, Africa,
I am not coming home
