Mother Africa: Thou Art A Continent
"Africa, the modern day misunderstood continent of all the continents had existed, is still existing and will continue to exist." Her raw materials come to feed the machinery of the western world and thus make her wheels of fortune turn; as Africa, unfortunately grows poor through manipulations.
What is Africa? Where is Africa? What is Africa made up of? Africa is a very huge landmass. It is the second largest continent after Asia. Many a time, people who have very little knowledge about this beautiful continent, think of it as a small place which is not even part of our civilized world. To the misinformed folks, come and let us together, wear our intellectual spectacles so as to read and place Africa at her proper position. This land is not a tiny country, a place or a state. It is truly, a huge continent, which has many countries.

A Befitting Tribute To Mother Africa Through Poetry
MOTHER AFRICA Fall 2000
Many of you don't even know that I exist
Oh! What a shame
Too many people I have welcomed and supported
And I still do
Here I am on a mock stage
Even though my breast milk is still overflowing
Rather, it is being fed knowingly and unknowingly
To ignorance
After a hard day's work--
Feeding my own children becomes an impossible
Chore---Why?
Regular mining of my many precious minerals and
Cutting down of my virgin forests
I have been left in a limbo; I have been
Crippled, bruised and manipulated for the longest
And yet, nobody seems to recognize me...
Hello---I am the 'Mother Of All Continents'

MY CREATIVITY Fall 2001
You don't have to agree with me
For, that, 'That' that dwells in me,
Allows me to express myself with
Creative thoughts.
My creativity is born out of this cruel
And wicked world, which we dwell in.
You can choose not to agree with me.

I AM THE BASE Summer 2005
I am the Base
Y-e-s I am the Base
I am Africa
I am the Ancient Base
Of all Formations
I am the Universal Foundation
Try me,
Go ahead
Mix me up with anything
And everything else
And I come out
To stand out--Good
