Ghana The Grief House
L. B. Mek said:

My Brother!
It\'s so easy to forget,
when the Imperialist\'s, first approached
it was that Greed, of Trade
not that Fear, of Hate
that helped curate, our beloved Africa\'s: Fate...
and Yes
more than half a Millennium, later
its that same Corrosive Mindset
that weakens our continent, to its very knees
time n again, every opportunity its gifted, to take a step Forward.
There\'s a reason our sands are Red, my Kin
its from those Deep seeping Crimson stains,
of all the accumulated bloodied Tears,
that our despairing Mothers have spilled...
\'Arise Africa: We Wait
with our calloused, rusted
Hopeful Heart\'s;
Forgive and Move Forward: We Beg
let those Chains of History
no longer, stifle
Our Children\'s futures, for a Change...!\'

(thanks for sharing and inspiring my little scribbled reply,
These rushed/instinctive words, may end-up
as being the very best thing I\'ll ever write!
and for this unexpected gift, you\'ve provided me
I sincerely, humbly: thank you!
we may be from either end of the continent, but we speak: as one
my brother)
