"Africa" Picture inspired

The painting is called 'Africa' by Mark Holland-Hicken
and it is what I want you to let inspire your words.
SHOW me DON'T tell me. I think it's quite sensual but the title suggests something quite different.

NO LESS than 35 lines - I will be ruthless!!! and DQ
NO Erotica, swearing or STicKy CapS!!
NO Religion bashing, cutting, suicide; it should not inspire that.

Off you go lovely poets and pen me beautiful
