An African Voice (POETRY)
I HAVE HIDDEN AFRICA
I have tattooed Africa on my heart
your sharp eyes will never poke her
I have tattooed Africa on my heart
your poisonous spit will never touch her
I have tattooed Africa on my heart
your fancy shackles will miss her ankles
My heart is softer than my skin
It will sheath her better
I have hidden her
You will never find her
