AFRICA
REFLECTIONS AND LESSONS LEARNED
This poem talks about the writer’s
homeland which is Africa. Here he expresses his love and hope for the
freedom of Africa. And if we relate it to our own colonial history, we can tell
that we have been oppressed for so many years and were influenced by the
foreign culture. Even though it has some positive effects on some aspects of
our country, the negative effects are still dominant. Personally, I was able to
realize that that person who has real compassion in loving their country will
always show love in different forms such as writing, composing a song, or
making a film. And making a literary piece is one of the powerful tools that a
person can use to express whatever they’d love to express. Because of this
poem, I was able to reflect on my own country’s experience during the
colonization and I have learned the following:
- The touch of colonization will bring out a country’s unity.
- Freedom is what we all are seeking for.
- Love for one’s nation is innate.
- Be compassionate in protecting your country.
