POETRY

Helpless cries from distant Africa is been heard

The lands of Ghana wail for sustainable water

people are dying, and yet, never having spoken a word.

Desperate parents lead the starving flock to the backyard for grazing

The temperatures keep on getting hot, and hotter

Helpless cries from all over Africa are been heard.

parents with hopeless eyes, blurred and sticky

Mothers working fast to feed their tiny, sickened son or daughter

people are dying, and yet, never having spoken a word.

They couldn't remember the last time they had a meal

They try not to slaughter a newborn calf for food

Helpless cries from all over Africa are heard.

Sounds of crying nearby, a family gathered

Love ones too weak to console a mother
People are dying, and yet, never having spoken a word.

Down to Africa with our riches and wealth, we still suffer

I know the wealthier will surely pay the potter

Helpless cries from all over Africa are been heard

People are dying, and yet, never having spoken a word.

Thank you all for reading
