AFRICA COME BACK





Come Back, I've heard the surge of your drums
Come Back, my heart beats lasciviously

'Africa come back'

Come Back, I've raised my face out from the dust
Come Back, I've peeled off the pellicle of sorrow from my eyes
Come Back, I've snatched away my arms from the grip of pain
Come Back, I've wrenched apart the hasp of gloom

'Africa come back'

The shackle's clasps have made the mace too much to bear
So I've fashioned a mould by ripping the strap round my neck

'Africa come back'

The bear's death-eyes blaze in every lair
Enemy blood has reddened the negritude of night

'Africa come back'

The ground is pirouetting with me Africa
Rivers throbbing to the rhythm pouring out of the woods
I am Africa, your stature mirrors mine
I am you, my gait is the gait of your lions

'Africa come back'
Come stride like your lions
'Africa come back'




Am so proud of my colour.Nnilla,I would want to see your poem.

Saintsam,
i like this poem. your other poem "Don't cry for me africa" i dont really fancy, cos i cannot really comprehend it.

I have just one poem and its on one of these pages.

Jimiyke:
Very funny people we have in Nigeria

how?

lol

so far its the guys competing agains the guys and the girls against the girls.

I normally have a winner for poems released around the same time _{thats when i'm still in control of my head}
you tell them what you like or dont like about it etc.

or better still, bring out the poet in you and spring up some poems.

yup.

there was so much flattery going on. i couldn't judge the last competition.
Meanwhile Bhola welcome to the house. I'm oficially making you a judge.
