YOU AFRICA!

You,

Africa,

Deep like the seas,

And as hot as the sun,

Hanging loosely on nothing,

Bulging, in reckless explosiveness.

Africa,

Black and powerful,

Like the wind’s unforgiving

Torrents, unending, washing all

Along its paths: riches into ruins,

You!

Africa You!

Buried in agony and plight,

Violence, blood, Africa- You, Africa!

See your own cry rivers;

Beautiful tides, painful, hurt, in distress.

I won’t forgive you, Africa, I won’t,

For the pains,

For the wrath,

Tears, strains, broken legs, 

Disabling us to crawl, for life,

For Africa.

You Africa!
