MAMA AFRICA
(c) 2015
Eureka123


You call us competition
You kill and torture both guilty and innocent
You say we are threats
The streets are purged with blood scents
Oh Mama Africa!

Apartheid was a terrible man
The segregation and injustice soared
A savior in a Southern African
Stood to fight for the rights of his people
Because you were oppressed and endlessly suffered
All because of Apartheid
How could you so soon, forget?
Oh Mama Africa!


Our tears have flown into rivulets
Nostalgia hits us
The kleptomaniac government may have failed you
Or your youths have grown too lazy
To become productive
Racism Racism Racism, you cry
How would she end when there lies "intra-racism"?
Oh Mama Africa!


So soon you have forgotten
How segregation and suffering feels
We are citizens of the earth
Your brothers are foreigners in our lands
Whatever happened to the hand of justice and abiding by the natural law?
Great Shaka of Zulu weeps
Mandela weeps
Africa mourns
All they ever stood for has dissipated
Their legacies being uprooted
Oh Mama Africa!


"Jungle justice" is evil
It is no justice at all
The innocent among us now come to harm
Let our children be
We have come out of love and because of globalization
For mutual benefits
We apologize if our brothers have committed crimes in your streets
They do not represent us well with such acts
We have held you in such high esteem
How quick esteem can crumble in a twinkle
Oh Mama Africa!


Xenophobia has an ugly head
It is the first son of hatred and dislike
He has come to disintegrate our mama Africa
Do not let him use you anymore
We are ambassadors of peace
Not ambassadors of bloodshed
Oh Mama Africa!

I'm not a poet. They are just my thoughts. I write better novels than I do Poems. Thanks for the comment anyways. I am doing the little I can to spread the message of peace and change.

pass mark on Emotional outpouring
next time try keeping it simple as a beginner or still deep but don't loose your message.
use of big words without justification is not allowed....it somehow complicated your poem.
pass mark for evoking the feeling of awareness to your reader.
Try giving it a style or form.
poems has voice while reading it...I missed your voice there.

You tried sha!
