THE FRANCO-AFRO WIDOW

with a keen sense of humanity 

she upholds the human race

gracefully propelling the rhythm of it's heart beat 

pantomime sway to it's sonorous sound 

her love, just like mother nature

had grown verse even beyond her own comprehension

for she had looked beyond her state 

and decided to create a stream 

she became the stream that flows all over the continents 

making artisans quench their artistic thirst 

from her stream of love

with no boundaries

she looked beyond skin colours 

spread her arms like a mother hen

safe-guarding her chicks from harsh weathers

for her milk of human kindness fills our lungs 

her Regalia is love

her crown is that of humility 

her cape, widely spreads harmony 

her makeup flashes hope to us, her sibling

I will pronouce your name Regina

even admist a thousand tongues 

I will pronounce your name Regina 

even if I choke on words 

millions are thankful to you for resuscitation

unspoken thanks said from the heart 

for without your humanity touch 

our art is nothing but a blank canvas
