As we all know, Afro-Asian literature is a mix of African, Arab and Asian ethnicity with their resemblance to each other. It may include a viewpoint of life which is profoundly and thoughtfully pleasant. There’s a focus on the developing nations from which were once overcome by stress. It shows their thoughts and shares their feelings about certain things that are a part of life; this is mostly shown in Afro-Asian poetry.
In my point of view, I see Afro-Asian poetry as a way through which emotions can be shown without any fear. Like in the poem ‘Africa’s Plea’ by Robert Dempster, it tells about how people are different the way they are and that nobody could tell who you must be. That each person in this world has their own job to be done and we should not get in the way of other people’s business. While in the poem ‘Africa’ by David Diop it showed appreciation for the ancestors though their history was a bit painful and hard.
Those people who write poems present their distinctiveness by supporting and deepen their beliefs, attitudes and tradition. I believe that behind every poem have a deeper meaning to it and that is a special meaning that the poet wants to share with the readers.
