Rated: 13+ · Poetry · Environment · #893294

An acrostic poem for Africa.

AIDS has ravaged her.
From tragedy to tragedy she stumbles.
Rwanda and Sudan – twin sites of genocide.
In the millions her people have died.
Can she ever stop the weeping, the bleeding?
Animals and atrocities abound within Africa.
