Cracked lips, parched land <br />Dusty promises of help at hand <br />Hungry children on Christmas cards <br />Won't help a world that's growing too fast <br /> <br />I just wish it would rain on Africa <br /> <br />But storm clouds gathering won't bring relief <br />Just darker days with no hope of peace in Africa <br /> <br />I just wish it would rain on Africa <br />Wash out the pain of Africa <br /> <br />Guns and bombs, tears and mud <br />Luxury limos race through blood <br />But bound by debt to hopelessness <br />Can we ever clean this mess? <br /> <br />I just wish it would rain on Africa <br />Wash out the pain of Africa<br /><br />Brynn Fier<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/africa-7/
