African Child Poem by Charles Bernard

African Child



Dark as graphite yet his teeth glitters
Cracked lips yet his smiles radiates
Empty belly yet he is laughter filled
Under the burning sun he lives
Burning with zeal and hope
Bleak future dream at its peak
Magnificent walk on cracked feet
From dirt a rose spring fort
Black skin and a pure heart
He is African and happy
