Africa


Aparthied was conquered
Future, hence bestowed
Rich with jungles
Immensely under poverty
Calling out for nourishment
Ailing with AIDS

    Stardust this is so true, it hurts my heart to think of it. And the photo brought tears to these tired old eyes. Very well said indeed!

    What a gripping poem and heartbreaking photo. Africa is a continent rich in resources but has always been exploited. There are many who are doing things to make it right but there is still so much to be done.

    the first thing that reminds me of Africa is the malnourished children... so I'd to highlight this issue in the prompt...

    Very Well Written... wat i don't understand is why ppl of Africa can't understand this.. When we can understand. It's not a very Poor country either..Many diamond mines are in Africa..Its a hub of wild life attraction.. Still tribes of Africa Suffer from dacades...!

The Eternal Return

Their love story is unique — It starts at dawn And ends at dusk. They meet every day; He knows exactly How to make her sway. He seems toxic, Yet his punctuality Is nothing short of magic. They are committed; Though he cannot stay with her always, This she has accepted. He sends his comrades To watch over her all night, Yet she waits — For him to return next day. He knows how to make His entrance — Full of warmth, Full of hope He brings. She cannot survive without him, For her life depends on him. Before he departs, He gives her a kiss — A ritual He would never miss. His kiss lingers An hour after he’s gone. She just looks up, And smiles… For she knows — There will always be Sunshine . - Stardust ✨
