Cry Freedom

Tears of joy

will fill my eyes

the rays of sun

will warm my heart

the dead stiff grass

will make me grin

the sound of chanting

and monkeys

will make me dance

To see this land

will feel like home

A land that needs no

planes and cars

People that survive

without electricity

People who can actually

feel the wetness of a rain drop

and find joy in

the stripes of a zebra

People that are so different

compared to me

but I love with all my being

A land that has my whole heart

the wondrous and beautiful Africa

the land that is my home

[Coyote Poetry]

A beautiful poem. I went to Africa and saw a place that had lost it purpose. A beautiful and once wise culture need to rebuilt the hope and dreams of a great and powerful people. The cities are still standing. Every African person I met was intelligent and wanted a good life. War has slowly took apart a once organized and beautiful country. Your poem is beautiful. Need to be proud of our heritage.
