Africa
A giraffe stands in the shade of a tree.


Africa

In the sepia tones of long ago,
the giraffe stands in the shade,
watching as the clouds boil overhead,
heralds of the approaching storm
and the future. Oh Africa,
now is your magnificence departed,
your broad plains blasted
in the birth pains of tomorrow.
