Take me back to Africa <br />where Hippos and Lions roam. <br />Where Giraffes and Zebra live in harmony <br />making Africa's tundra their life, their home. <br /> <br />Rains come not often to drench dry thirst of land <br />not as often as one would like. <br />Locus clouds plague the land <br />while devouring everything in sight. <br /> <br />Uglyness yet beauty of this land <br />only the stong can and will survive. <br />Scavenger birds picking bones clean <br />all that was hunted, killed and died. <br /> <br />Africa calling, this land inbred in me. <br />Just take me home to Africa <br />Africa's calling again to see.<br /><br />Linda Winchell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/africa-s-calling/
