Prank

Two legs surfaced on an idle lake

Made the sleepy leisure hunters abruptly anxious

A weird hat in the vicinity

Added fire to the intensity

Until a pretty girl rose like a dolphin

Africa

A land of colors, cultures, and wildlife

From where the ancestors of humans

Rose into prominence in this big world

Ill-treated for centuries in the dark ages  

Carries the hope of millions of deprived

As they try to rise in the new world order
