AFRICA, MY AFRICA

Dusty roads and beyond capacity buses
Gossiping women in traditional garments
Wise men sitting by the roadside
Children playing with old tires
Getting my hair braided too tight
A riot in the making at the kiosk
Smell of roast tilapia and luwombo
That scorching heat engulfs me
That is the essence of my Africa
