When hunters’ hunts unveiled her
She sat in mystery like the virgin she was
Adorned by great forests
Clothed by beautiful trees
Surrounded by caring rivers
Being serenaded by great seas
As she sat on the much need riches
Scared at first, they sought to shoot
Then realized her worth
And sought to take
They then realized their defence
So sought to mesmerize
When it proved futile
They resorted to rape
How hurting!
Tearing her forests and uncovering her body
How hurting!
Using her vegetation to beat and subdue her
How hurting!
Raping Africa and breaking her golden hymen!
How hurting!
Leaving her a whore to be dug in times of need
How hurting!
The haunting thoughts of the African raped!
How hurting!
Being tutored to love the rape!
May God save her from these thoughts

Thank you. Colonialism is a sad case in all aspects although its enlightenments have brought us this far.
