Longing for Africa

My blood boils as I think about it,

My body aches as I try to fathom it

The distance brittle my mind

The feeling surges my nerves

The memories shutter my mind

I try not to reason it anymore

For the longing has just begun

Her scenic natures marvels me

The great wealth she harbours keeps me afloat

Her rich heritage is a story of its own

The diverse ethnics are but a blessing

Oh!! The rich soils that provide for all the ravenous

The myriad cultures that create a unique unity

I but long for my Africa

I can not take it in any longer

The issue stands and it needs a solution

I resolve to stop all am doing to attend to this need

Nothing dares stands in my way

For I have to make this journey back there

Beat it is a thousand miles away

My soul will stop at nothing until this longing is quenched.

 joyful always
