Poem: Ad Infinitum Africa

Christian Djimra Koumtog November 16, 2015

Africa

Know that our good God and her Children think of you at this very moment —

Land of the future, field of dreams, ongoing deceptions, and forgotten torments;

Africa of old, you are the awakened New World that has been dormant.

Coveted for your Blackness and natural resources but also for your spirituality,

Please preserve your enticing Truths, liberating Power, and persevering Integrity.

Babylon is after you and your children, now that the phoenix is dying —

Preachers and politicians are telling you stories, they are lying […]

People like us, patient at heart, and poets, for you, are on their knees and praying.

Thoughts of your preservation are on our mind, those that cannot be tarnished —

Beautiful Soul that ought to be, we adore the Heavens for you – your spirit to cherish…

Love and joy of a life that ought to be fruitful, this Good News will be heard and flourish.

O feeling that comes from a heart that will not just pray but prevent you to vanish,

You need to set your emotions aside and open your eyes against the corrupted and lavished!

Know that our good God and her Children think of you at this very moment —

Please preserve your enticing Truths, liberating Power, and persevering Integrity.
