Poem: Africa

In Africa I see
The plains and mountains
Standing tall
Proud as can be

In Africa I seek
Give me not just time
for ever,
But your love for eternity

They flock to you
Clambering for a view
I must hide
Their adoration is not new

Staying far
The pain obscured
I try to hide
Africa off my radar

But by George
When I looked behind

The Africa I see
Is all but fine
There’s too much pain
In the daily grind.
