Mother Africa


Mother Africa-
Your prodigal children have left you,
Left you clawing at the gaping wound in your heart
And shrouded in ripples of blue.

Insides gnaw at your conscience,
For your thoughts are all you have to keep
When there is no audience.
And watery eyes betray the heartbreak,
For your regal face refuses to reveal its ache.

Hands in the dirt,
As dry as your bones.
Willing the wind to breath its life into you
And carry you along.
 
No its not at all bad! Sad but not bad. I found it bleak but beautiful. Will there be a fourth verse?
 
It's good. But I would leave it untitled. I think ambiguity adds something to a poem, especially when you realize what it's about.
