Konam Binditim Samuel

Poet's note: The subject of this poem revolves around Africa. The first stanza typically describes Africa and it's endowment. The second talks about the evasion of Africa by the Europeans, and the devastations caused during the time of colonialism which has sadly crippled the economies of African States. Some of these African States are still grappling with colonial excesses. In the third stanza, the persona laments how the fabric of unity in Africa has been torn by it's own people. Unity has been nipped in the bud. The final couplet asks a rhetorical question.
