I am human

Fri, 06/04/2021 - 14:55 -- wanja

I am a child,
Of earth roasted in the sun.
I am a child,
Blended from copper and bronze,
I am a child,
Harmonized by eternal green and swelling rivers,
Take a look-
I am also human.

I have been reading Langston Hughes poems lately and his work inspired me to write this piece, a tribute to our mother, Africa.
