Poem Title: IS AFRICA LOST?

in #poetry5 years ago

Is Africa Lost?
Brethren, let's come together and rationalise,
From the various part of Africa, we nationalise,
There's no denial, we're confused,
For our thinking and doings are yet to fuse,

Is Africa Lost?
A question to you African(s),
To the wish of which we can,
In grain of all diversity,
Here we are, a world of varsity,

Hmmm, Africa, the mother of continents,
Home of conscience,
Hall of coincidence,
Slot of experience,

Is Africa Lost?
Oh! What a great continent,
Filled with blacks who love sentiment(s),
Our self esteem is going down the drain,
To survive, we'll need grace to rain,

Is Africa Lost?
I thought the beauty gone in extinction,
Let alone the piece of its distinction,
All way round, we are black,
And what can't be seen, is black,

Is it at lost?
Or at lust?
Over what will rust,
And turn to dust,

Is Africa Lost?
To our integrity, we've baded good-bye,
For all we want, is all money can buy,
To lead us, we need people who aren't just prominent,
But rather, people who are efficient,

Is Africa Lost?
I don't think they know us,
But we are the ridden horse(s),
On our backs, they hunch,
In which they hatch,

Come, let me take you onto a journey,
For you to realise we're as lost as a donkey,
Though, we insist we're on a low-key,
But I tell you, our path is rock

Is Africa Lost?
The question is not something new,
The answer will come as at when due,
Our leaders and their jiggery-pokery,
Fooling us all like chickens in a poultry,

Is Africa Lost?
Alas! Oh Africa my home,
In you, I hope,
Forthcoming, is my rope,
Not enough of goodness you lost,
Tell them you are cost,

Today, I tell you with certainty,
Africa is at lost, I tell you with clarity,
Nations are at diversity,
Leaders don't work towards unity

Africa may have its problems, it may be lost in many ways but we are still progressing, it may not be the way we want, it may not be the way the other areas of the world progress but its a unique place with unique problems.

As long as there is hope, there is a way!

Fantastic poem, even though it is a bit sad.
I think Africa is not lost. Has been going through a hard and troubling time, yes. But every day there is progress and I think the future is bright for that continent and the many wonderful people who live there.
Thanks for sharing this poem! Keep Writing.

@adewararilwan, Brother, world is converted into violence and total inequality. Everywhere we are watching domination and manipulation and the Game Of Politics is the reason. But people should see the truth in my opinion which is open now.

No africa lost , africa down but never loss

A beautiful poem of the identity of your continent and your land where you come from. :)

Africa is the homeland of hope and despair. There's always hope. The brave sons of Africa. Always work and save Africa

Yes Africa is lost and so is the rest of the world.
