African Pirates Comments

Loved it, absolutely brilliant. Easy to read, which is not a bad thing. 10/10 for this.

This is a nice poem. It gives you something to think about.

your poem is interesting and wonderful.....but it is not good to badmouth the president of your country....even if he is a pirate as you said.......this is my point of view......otherwise your poem is perfect and you are right we have to help our africa.....all of us....even if our presidents are not helpful....thanks for sharing your poems with us.....keep writing

A very passionate write Alf, you have rightly lashed out at the despotic rule that many citizens of African countries have to endure....Excellent poem as usual 10

Loved it Alf! wrote with great passion regards Bob

I like your passion in expressing those words, which are no further than the truth, and it is so that there are thieves and plunderers who claim to have the interest of freedom.

We have to go to the basics my friend. There is a saying in Sanskrit. 'Yathaa Rajaa thathaa prajaa' which means the way a King behaves the same way his people too do behave. If the king is bad, greedy and selfish, so will be the people. If the rulers are corrupt people also become corrupt.Unlike the British Royal Writ where the King/Queen is considered as the 'fountainhead' of justice, in India the ancient kings considered the 'Dharma Sashtra' or the moral code as the fountainhead of justic.. and the kings were never immune to prosecution........we need to change. If people change, the rulers change.

You've made some damning observations Alf, most of them factual especially on that despot Mugabe. Well done mate. Cheers, Jerry C

that was an excellent poem, I agree with opinion of bob and saadat... Freedom fighter or terrorist? Depends whose side you’re on wishing you to have a look on execution's list..your opinion is important...regards

Superb poem Alf, I'm with you, , , How to take The Garden of Eden and ruin it completely... Colin J...
