CRUEL WATERS:

Poor me. Black continent.
Hard, harsh crucial waters oozes of feeble veins
Permanent cuts. Endless flows
Temporal cuts. Seasonal flows.
Srubing mercilessly over my skinny body.
Ferrying away my rich nutritious mines.
My own catch, rare marine life, beautiful cowries.
Dumping to Atlantic, Pacific, lndian.
Leaving me poor.
Barren.
No generation, no future
You hate my bald head, you are dead at my horn
When you come, by heavens gates
You shoot me numerous sharp bullets
Washing away my makeups.
Beautiful planten. Great structures men erected
To make me productive, more habitable.
Lonely Bare and hopeless I stand.
The hard. Harsh. Crucial waters
Swept off all the life.. For a sacrifice
