I am a wanderer in this nomadic land, <br />To whom can I lend a helping hand, <br />To make dark lives a little lighter, <br />Be a bastion of peace; not a fighter. <br /> <br />This Darkest African, void of light. <br />Transient Nomads constantly fight. <br />Forsaken by God it appears to be; <br />Africa is not the land of the free. <br /> <br />Never shall I pass this way again, <br />Witness sadness, poverty and pain, <br />Man’s blatant inhumanity to man, <br />Let me be of help now... whilst I can.<br /><br />Alf Hutchison<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/african-missionary/
