Africa oh! Africa, lays the Sahara the ocean of <br />desert, fading like a roaring Leon in the meadow of <br />pasture green spheres upon the shoulder of the fertile <br />land <br /> <br />wild as the weird wild creature passionately slow <br />and capture the vast splendid horizon of beautiful <br />scenery of forested and mountainous valley of <br />paradise of the East, welcome the canoe of the raging <br />speed of wind behind the curtail of trouble sky, have <br />conceived the Sahara Desert <br /> <br />come capture the eye that made to follow the wind <br />invades like Spartan in the City of Greece, nourish and <br />emptied the rich nutrient aging plateau of wealth and <br />leave no mercy beyond filter of imagination <br /> <br />you have come in a thousand enduring beauty <br />surfing the blue space open skies, where a decades of <br />envy and thirst lips comes the paramount surprise of <br />wilderness ghetto of dazzling sand and a zooming wind <br />to kiss the ground of survival and surpass the burden of <br />destruction <br /> <br />oh! paramount phenomenon of creation, hide not <br />the color of your dominion and relinquish the burden <br />that makes the world crazy, neither the wind laugh as <br />you blew, nor does the water soak the thirsting body of <br />unwanted Lilies in the pond <br /> <br />come and let the Lotus of Thailand, spoil the dry land <br />and pray for the rain to come..... <br /> <br /> <br />' a poem dedicated to the Great Green Wall of Africa '<br /><br />Antonio Liao<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sahara-desert-2/
