BEAUTIFUL MRS. AFRICA

Africa once used to be such a wonderful continent. But the white man came and alongside him the elements that contributed towards the loss of our once wonderful heritage. This poem explores some of the effects of Africa accepting to welcome foreign cultures. Enjoy.

BEAUTIFUL MRS. AFRICA

Oh! Mother Africa, mother of strong dark people

Oh! Africa, a land where life was once so simple

Hail, oh! Mrs. Africa the beautiful

The mother of cultures so colorful

Beautiful Mrs. Africa, behold her captivating eyes.

Africa, mother of beautiful strong buxomly women

Africa, mother of handsome strong muscular men

Africa, why did you divorce your heritage?

Africa, why should you live in bondage?

Africa, mother of beautiful strong buxomly women

Africa, your daughters once were the pride of men

Who taught your daughters to be as slim as snakes?

To be as slender as the eels of the great lakes

That the lightness of a cat is true beauty

Who taught your daughters to hawk chastity?

Africa, mother of handsome strong muscular men

Your sons once used to be the pride of heaven

Who taught your sons one wife is enough

And doing women’s chores is being tough?

Who taught your sons to speak through noses?

And to adorn themselves as garden roses

Mrs. Africa, why did you divorce your heritage

And chose to live in such a cruel bondage?

Africa, mother of strong dark buxomly women

Africa, mother of strong dark muscular men

Will your eel of daughters ever grow manhood?

Will your pigs of sons retain their warrior hood?
