spacious earthen cemetery for all
of man's desires
innocent hopes for trust and gay
exuberance breed
understanding lives in quiet reserves
and green leaves' shadows
silent screams leave footprints of
genocide

This is outstanding there are so many unseen sides of Africa, this was wonderfully done. Best to you in the contest

Great use of imagery and word choice. It is a place of mystery and of murder and of strife. But it is also a place that can learn, through hard lessons, how to strive. Your poem captured this I think. Write on, poet.
Blessings,
