My poem " You! Brave ones of Africa"

#13. You! Brave Ones of Africa

Monstrous are the shadows of emotions

Creeping behind a spiral of poverty and exclusions

Death lurking every where

Rogue elements out, to dare.

Alas ! The world still searching its conscience?

Cynicism is passé as love is to fight not

Life is not charity but the ‘right’ globally thought

Hunger, unemployment, deprivation

Pointers to a rising revolution.

Dreamers ! Realise empowerment in abundance ?

Hate, crime, prejudices, slavery in various platters

Menu thrown by the lords and the masters

Yet rainbow nations wriggle out of the mess

Meals of democracy getting relished with varied crisis.

Hey My Lord ! Miles yet to go for indulgence.

Gandhi, Mendela, Tutu and King

Ushering dances to dance and songs to sing

They have overcome. They have overcome.

Enjoying the life on the beats of bongo drum.

Agonising! Yet the freedom lacks substance?

Agonising! Yet the freedom lacks substance?
