Poem - Africa's Dilemma #2

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)



This is a sequel to Poem - Africa's Dilemma #1




What have we done? You ask.

We have poached, and encroached

our gifted wilds and nature

We've neglected our domestic duties

Our graduates are frustrated

Our children are underfed


Governments are rotten in and out

Politicians build life-presidencies,

the parliaments are defiled,

To consecrate evil rather than good,

To affirm life presidencies,

To endorse land grabs,

To justify public theft,

Oh Africa!
