Poverty And Africa

Poverty is a blackhole Centered in the middle of Africa Spinning out of control Ravaging the highlands of Ethiopia And the great rift valleys of East Africa Exposing a land full of corruption And a bunch of misfits in high places Ruling over Kingdoms full of hungry faces Poverty roams the African plains From the dunes of the Kalahari desert To the grasslands of the Masai Mara Soaring far above the African sky In a daylight show of domination A brutal dictatorship reigns in Africa Poverty is a monster from hell Dressed in a coat of fury and a pair of sunglasses Red eyes and steam oozing nostrils It has an appetite for young African children Tender and juicy little souls Gorged at breakfast, lunch and dinner Baked into small little pancakes Roasted on hot charcoal fire And sliced into pieces of Apple pie
