Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: Poetic Thoughts

Indeed!

When 'The Arrow of God' strikes the 'Anthills of the Savannah' 

We are 'No Longer at Ease' with 'Girls at War' 

Hence 'Things Fall Apart' 

Leaving us with 'Hopes and Impediments' 

About 'The Trouble with Nigeria' 

As 'There was a Country' 

And we long for 'Morning yet on Creation Day.'

My People:

A poem is what the writer (poet) calls it, provided 

  - each line is short (a complete sentence, but not necessarily)

 - there is no punctuation (or minimal punctuation)

 - there are stanzas (but not necessarily)

We are all poets - or can be.  Whether you hiss or you smile or shake your head after reading a poem is another matter entirely.

We are nude

On the net.

Our loincloths blown away

By wind of change.

The worldwide web

Gropes our nudity.
