Afrika Poem by Joub kahuria

Afrika

Rating: 5.0


Dear mama Africa you are number one.
Clothed in attires so rich and black,
Mother of all mothers yes you are.
i have one question and it sounds absurd.

Well i have heard 'em refer to you as 'her'
and learned to call you ma dearest mum.
I dont mean to disrespect or cause you hurt.
This is really hard but i have to ask.

Dont know if this will quench ma thirst,
but i know 'twill cool my heart.
I'm off to a journey to become a man.
Before i make the same mistake WHERE IS MY DAD?

Superb.sounds like a few lines in a poem of mine, 'tug of love': ...did the cack-handed priest not tie the knot with a churchly heart? . I'l put it up sometime. I appreciated your comment on my poetry.
