poems in the spirit of AFRICA by naijamd(m): 9:42pm On Feb 08, 2009 |
guys this my poem collection thread, i promise to post a new one after five replies lets startwith my favorite DEMISE OF MY MOTHERLAND I wake up in the morning look out my window Automobiles speeding past Men haughtily dressed Women scantily dressed All madly in haste Africa my Africa does not look like thee Africa of my fathers Where at thou gone Under the graceful full moon Children playing happily Men drinking wine in peace Women telling tales to the youth Africa my Africa this is thy beauty thy beauty is thy soul thy is is thyself Oh Africa of proud natives Now land of woes No matter how many roads are tarred No matter the good of civilization No matter what it promise Thou has become a land of woes Africa my Africa thou has lost thy beauty civilization may bring comfort but it also bring woes for it's comfort we pay the price of our soul but for it's woes A price is not attached how did i do plese comment |

Already it's morning another day is here tomorow keeps becoming yesterday the future remains bleak I now doubt the existence of a future Get up and work this is the voice of my father's Get up and work do something good for yourself so say's my father's before me I always knew my weakness but greatest of them is laziness I have always done below my abilities because I have always done little I have come to crossroads before in my life I always knew the right path but on it i never tread cause I feared it was filled with thorns Go tread that path there goes the voice of my father's Life is not always rosy if you seek success you must make work thy friend Again I tried again I failed I did no wrong I only tried the fast way A horse that runs fast don't run long so say's my father's If you must succeed you must be slow and steadfast Oh what a dilemma I have never done all this before How do I go about them now To get what you've never had you must do what you've never done so say's my fathers it's now simple I have never worked hard this is what i must do Thank you my father's |
