Poem - American Dream.......my Africa...... by lordthunderbolt(m): 8:19pm On Mar 16, 2015 |
This piece of poetry is a satire....It mocks the dreams of lazy Africans who see foreign countries as filled with all the love in the world. ....filled with goodies while they look down on the natural Africa.....They see it the same way foreigners has seen African for centuries. ....This is a call to action......Africa has all you need.... Yesternight was another dream In between foreign claim Lights and butterflies in ethereal realm Where there is love of the lame The elders mocked my thoughts I was human so were there! An American dream..... Tied in between the Sunday chicken Packaged gifts every Christmas Last night...I had a different dream A dream of gongs and tripod beigns Carved out of woods and iron Dipped in mystics and folklores Masquerades and ceremonial bygones A different dream........ Mead from the horrors Poverty Wars Pestilence A dream of green leaves all Beautiful sunlight Amidst opened beautiful flowers Butterflies mocking the gleeful children Away from the dreams of foreign definition of Africa |
