AFRICAN MAP

As I look at a map of Africa

I see mystery, I see strength

Of a land and it's people

It's true people and shades of diversity

I feel joy

I see a bridge of forgotten history

I desire to visit there

But then I turn to the T.V.

I see many countries

Brothers killing brothers

Children dying in their mothers arms

And religious greed killing them all

I see men stealing land

Land that isn't there own

And killing a man in his home

Because this is the land he was borne

I want to see Africa

The way it was when first created

A free land

Touched by GOD's hand
