She is Africa

She is bare and fruitful

she is plain and vast

She is green and wonderful

raw in the past

She is ebony and beautiful

she is white and black

She is green, brown and blue

not pale, her garments are colorful

She gained recognition within strangers

She was robbed in the past

stripped of her inheritance

Exposed to wretchedness but she smiles in the face of danger

She is still blessed beyond visual substance

Her crumbles of nature fed the foreign scavengers

She is often adored by transients from traveled distance

she over time becomes greater

she is vague and misunderstood

she is entertaining in muse

she clings to her cultural values

she is radiating in raw beaut

Her glamor isn't artificially induced

she is free of foreign curses

Her labour in the fields feeds the universe

She is Africa!
