Dear Africa

Dear Africa 
Let me tell your story
Tell everyone, How
They stripped you bare
Left you barren
How, They built weapons  
And left you bloodied 
Bleeding as they pillaged 
Every inch of you
Till your wells ran dry 
A shell, broken, cracked
All that remains
A carcass left behind
A vultures domain
 
Dear Africa
Let me tell your story 
Speak in one voice 
Which echoes 
The sentiment 
That lies beneath your pain
Tell them how, your offspring 
Those which remain 
Are left  fighting 
Declaring war on each other
Seeking to claim power
Protecting borders
You never erected
