Ugly Beauty - by Jerá
Image - hosny.deviantart.com Mother Africa... Her face is pockmarked with craters Craters flooded with blood spilled by haters Haters that fan the flames of meaningless wars Wars that drown Mother Africa in black man's gore Her bosom sags from feeding hungry babies Babies left to fend for themselves by deceased diseased mums and daddies Her abdomen is scarred with surgical knives The points of natal exit for millions of lives Her hind is dimpled with pits and holes Where war lords stand over Africans digging for gems like burrowing moles Her knees are parted as tyrants perpetually violate Her in turns and ruthlessly annihilate Whoever raises a placard in feeble protest Such a beauty, is Mother Africa, yet she's so grotesque
