Mapas del Mundo
By, Afua Serwah Osei-Bonsu
He paved the roads
Across Africa
From east to west across her waist
From north to south down the height of her body
And around the circumference
By bus, helicopter, and ship
10,000 road builders
Moving game reserves
Building a network of roads like veins
And the necessary
Food, fuel and lodging stations
Along the way
Behind him were caravans
With energy, excitement and love
He carefully measured
With technology
Maps
World maps, continental maps, country maps and city maps
An artist had discovered by studying old maps in an antique store in Puerto Rico
A continental illusion or power misuse in terms of size of continents on maps
Changes in country name and ownership due to war, colonialism or sale was also noted
And in the Ann Arbor Michigan State Newspaper the theory of plate techtonics
That all the continents of Earth were one mass separated, a broken plate
That historically had fit neatly together called Gondwana
