I entitled entitle this piece "AFRICAN QUEEN" because it gives us hope and blieve that our NATION will rise above its challenges in the nearest future. Here's a piece of poem I made with respect to this drawing.

African Queen

Your beautiful and hopeful eyes
Assemble the broken pieces of our existence
Filled with hopeless and directionless
And give us a reason to survive
And face courageously the calamity of our nation.

The sparkles and twinkles in your eyes
Glitter like a gold
Diminishing all bondages and setbacks
And give us a reason to believe
And strive for a better and brighter life.

Your endowed and tremendous voice
Echos to the other side of life (Outskirts)
Informing them how dejected and miserable
Our life have been
Assuring them (that) there are still
Better and competent people over here

Your Golden brown skin and Spotless face
Are full of strength and lives
In the midst of all calamities,
They bestow peace and give us tranquillity
Which bring comfort to our souls.

You need no crown to define yourself
Nor expensive earrings,
To portray you are a queen
Your eyes, voice, and blond skin
Depic the true you.

You are exceptional
A true definition of "African Queen".

Inspired by the happenings around my society
