By Maya Angelou

Possibly the most influential Poet of all time..................

AFRICA" by Maya Angelou

 

"Africa"

 

Thus she had lain

 

sugercane sweet

 

deserts her hair

 

golden her feet

 

mountains her breasts

 

two Niles her tears.

 

Thus she has lain

 

Black through the years.

 

 

 

Over the white seas

 

rime white and cold

 

brigands ungentled

 

icicle bold

 

took her young daughters

 

sold her strong sons

 

churched her with Jesus

 

bled her with guns.

 

Thus she has lain.

 

 

 

Now she is rising

 

remember her pain

 

remember the losses

 

her screams loud and vain

 

remember her riches

 

her history slain

 

now she is striding

 

although she has lain.
