A cry

by Kamogelo FMfosi   Feb 23, 2012


We seat together side by side
Watching the sun go down
Ready to welcome the
Dark part of the day "Night"

To live in my country is
fun as one can see the
Beauty of nature
See small children playing games
Not knowing the hardships of our
Sisters and brothers at the other
Side of our continent

It is summer trees are all green
As well as the grass
We watch as the cows
Goats actually all the animals
As they graze

In some parts of Africa
It is dry
You can see few trees
Sometime nothing at all
Its no land that a man
Can grow food to feed his family
Where you meet bodies of dead animals
Due to starvation as there is no
Green grass like the one in my country

I could feel a tear on my cheek
As I see t6he beauty of my
Country Botswana
Knowing that in some parts of the
Of the continent there is
Hunger,starvation,death
War and all that threaten human life

I sometime feel like life is not far
I have all the luxuries I can imagine
While some where there
Somalia, Mali and Sudan just to name a few
One doesn't know if there might be tomorrow
Another meal on the table to feed their families
If someday all this nightmares would ever go away
And peace and harmony will ever roam the streets again
