My humble homage to Africa and to all Africans
PRODIGAL SON
Feizi M. Milani
Mother Africa,
I humbly come to meet you
yearning, eager, thirsty...
is there still room for me in your lap?
Mother Africa,
I grew up far from your caring eyes,
in other gardens have I played
I have fallen asleep at the whispering of other stories
and therefore
little do I know of you
and little do you know of me...
Will you still have the patience to teach me?
Mother Africa,
throughout the world I searched for my path,
through far-off lands I journeyed,
other peoples, cultures and languages I came to know,
only to discover
that they were also born in your cradle
and are your children
and are my brothers and sisters...
will you still welcome me back home?
Mother Africa,
maybe you will not remember me
perhaps you will look at me and fail to recognize me,
it may well be that I look very different from your other offspring living with you,
but
my roots come from your sacred womb,
my heart beats in the same rhythm as your drums,
my nights were swung in your loving cradle
and my days, filled with your joyous presence,
my thirst was quenched with your gracious wellsprings,
and my hunger, allayed by your generosity,
my toddling began before you
and my first tears were shed on your soil...
Mother Africa,
I know I have been distant
when you needed me most,
I have pretended to be deaf
when you let out your wails,
I have alienated myself
when confusion prevailed at your home,
my compromising attitude
has prevented me from being side by side with my siblings...
will you still welcome me with your embrace?
Mother Africa,
one of your prodigal sons
is back...
Please,
behold him with your compassionate and understanding eyes,
lend out your warm and firm hand to him,
embrace him with your soft and comforting hug,
swing him in your cozy lap
and... forgive him,
with your loving and motherly heart...
Mother Africa,
your forgiveness I beseech
for myself
and for those among your other children who,
not having inherited your virtues,
oblivious of your being their true homeland,
deluded by their childish ignorance,
and inflamed by their adolescent arrogance,
have come back home,
not to thank you and glorify you,
but to disrespect and trample you,
hurt your children,
steal your riches,
destroy your gardens,
exploit your generosity...
Mother Africa,
forgive me.
Mother Africa,
forgive us all.
(I wrote this poem while visiting Zimbabwe, South Africa and Botswana, back in 1999)

Interested in a career in international development or humanitarian assistance?
Consider a three-week training in development project management.
The Development Project Management Institute (DPMI) is a three-week intensive, immersive professional…
It is a welcome development.It's worthy to say that violence against women is increasing especially in the area of inheritance rights as it is common in my State-Akwa Ibom of Nigeria where women are not allow to inherit properties from their parents…
It is my desire to have a training opportunities that goes with scholarship,this will enhance my capacity building towards development work in my Country.
