with her charming face.

Everyone wished to touch 
her color brown skin 
as they walked down to her path. 

She didn't run away, 
she stuck around 
yet, the distance denied us 
from touching her. 

She finally moved above our heads. 
We couldn't look up to see her. 
She wasn't friendly again with our eyeballs. 

Then, we began to love her again 
as we did in the morning, 
for she showed us another side 
of her priceless beauty. 

But, in a blink of an eye, 
she faded away without bidding us farewell.

Africa claims to be independent, but drastically dependent on her masters again as...
