Africa,I am

I am Africa
Like kinetic findings
Carbon based
My skin wears in a subtle way
I am Africa
Medicinal properties buried deep
In these layers
Curve after curve
I am someone's medicine
That's has been remixed and reshelved.
That's why I am Africa.
A connector of life
How dare you give one such credit
I am dirty and dangerous
And so undeserving
Yet you come to me
Examine me Find my treasure
I beg not
Even if you're not a theif
You will love me
I am Africa.
I ask not because in reality my awareness is so keen
You will never be able to repay
For a glance of me.
I am Africa.
Things are missing from me.
Leaving me alone
To hear the drums of the deep
As I lay spread eagle
As I dip under the water
To hear more
My heart beats the sound of rhythmic culture and understanding.
I am Africa.
