Africa Tribute
written by: Maciej Pająk (Matthew)
Oh Africa – please let me in!
I am the droplet of rainy water
Will cease the pain and give relief
Of scorching slaughter
Oh Africa – please let me in!
I am the shade – so do not weep
The black wanderer under my arms
May calmly sleep
Oh Africa – please let me in!
I am the wingless railroad rail
The miracle of faster trip
Under the moonrise pale
Oh Africa – please let me in!
I am the caring hand
With medicine I am to cover
The holy land
Oh Africa -please let me in!
I am the sunny day of love
I affect your wilderness
The gentle wings of dove

Maciej Pająk (Matthew) was born in 1978 in Poland. Poet, athlete, globetrotter. A maritime navigator by education. A graduate of Maritime University. Laureate of poetry competitions. He writes in Polish and English. He made his debut in 2018 with a volume entitled "A night so blue" and then he published in 2019 a volume entitled "Blue Hourglass". His works appear in anthologies and magazines. Music has also been created for many poems. Maciej describes his remarkable observations with exceptional sensitivity, sometimes even feminine delicacy from a male point of view. This has a remarkable effect of complexity and ambiguity in how the reader might perceive his poems. Looking into the past, contemplating the future, delight, duty, pride, contemplation of beauty, falling in love. Originality - this is the basic feature of Maciej's poetry.
