    AFRICA

    I am taste for water to drink
    In the middle of river I am
    Sank deeply in the midst of it
    Yet nor to drink from

    Said, I am a giant asleep
    And a stranger in her motherland
    As my color paint me black
    And felt powerless to change

    The misery past of my life
    That has drew upon me
    But known not of my heart
    Of where my soul dwells

    As my pen pour out
    Her ink of pain
    And her patience has
    Made a fool out of her

    Cause living at a lonely
    Edge of a dark world
    Full of sorrow and anguish
    For my happiness turn grief

    My land of gifted black gold
    That burns all night and day
    As my natural given treasure
    Become a pit of mother hell

    Soul Passion

    This was written beautifully and I could feel your pain and frustration.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
