Happy Mothers Day

It is mothers day today, say should we write a poem to these angels in flesh? Or buy them gifts? In any way you can, do give a shout out to the great women of our time...

KOLOURS OF AFRICA 

 Here comes the god's messanger Thunder! The fiery bolt of Amadioha 

Zig-zagged lines across the sky 

Whitish lines that show no light 

 The rain in bucketfuls descend 

The red mud wall is warm today Mother's side eye looks at me 

Else i would have gone to play 

 Still and crouched we munched the cob Every teeth in motion set I

n the half-moon our thoughts were set When shall the locusts visit? 

 When its dawn, we rise with the sun Everyone to the good wet soil 

Pruning and planting, we work all day Evening sets, we turn our backs 

 Father is the god at home 

None escapes his mighty wrist 

Every night before i sleep 

Father's palm must kiss a cheek 

 We were plenty, many children 

All i knew they were my siblings 

Different mothers, still one Father

 This, to me, was all that mattered

 Oh Africa! Goddess of peace 

Colourful land of thick black skins 

I could give me all and more 

If we will be she to the core!
