THE SONG OF THE JEWEL OF ARO

Just like a haze of burning flames, Drifting through the thick clouds So does the timeless agony of women fade The women of aro will gather in unison Watching the flow of burning flames Flames that depicts their adversity Their dire memories of resilience easily forgotten An enchanting tone echoed thoroughly An overwhelming exasperation voice The voice of the jewel of aro She sang in the fortune fields with pain There fate meets plight but joy triumph A song of plight and memories The plight and memories of her kin Her vocals erodes anguish moments Gradually the moments of despair diminish The enticing lullaby of the jewel escalates like a fog of smoke A melodious tone that depicts suffering A plightful existence of her kin A land of milk and honey Yet filled with pain and suffering An underserved plight An infuriating experience Orchestrated by the errant minds of men SUMMARY OF THE POEM SUMMARY OF THE POEM ‎The poem "the song of the jewel of aro" is an African poetry that brings
