Remove The Dust Clouds Poem by D Loveday Morris

Remove The Dust Cloud

Let's not go back
Let's go forward
Make changes, buildbridges
Let's remove the dust clouds
Let's not go back to what was
Let's see what can be
Create a new and better reality
Everyone walks, jogs, sleeps in tranquility

This carmel coloured wisp
From the Sahara strip
Is on a trip and is just the tip
Oh, how quickly change can hit!
Wealth turned upside down
Smiles to frown; world economy pun di ground
Get up, no matter how long yuh fall down

Let's not go back
Let's move forward
Change day to night
Remind them of what's right
Hitchhike on trade winds
This Sahara plume is the boss of things
Mineralize those that are victimize
Give them something new to chat bout, live, not just survive

Let's show them what it means
Taking a breath, is more than what it seems
Cover the mountain top with haze
Lest they forget the beauty of days
Paint everything brown
Sahara dust is in town
Like nights without days
Without colour everything would be haze

No rainbows; no sun rays
Men trump all days
Forgetting who deserves the praise
I send Sahara plume from Africa
Is I turn blood into wata
Lest you forget, who is the boss round yah
Move forward; take care of one another

Let's not go back
Let's move forward
Sail to bigger and better shores
Open and explore new doors
Love, live and build more
Share, no one has to be poor
Create, develop, explore
See how much more life has in store
