In recent student Christine Kariukis Poem for Africa, she tackles the good: The beautiful rainforests Home for many bird species Those that sing so loud and proud To the lovely deserts and sand dunes The never ending mountains and waterfalls The wildlife and distinct nature Home to thousands of different creatures And the bad: The poverty stricken countries; The corrupt governments and authorities With leaders who leave us With empty promises and apologies Droughts that crumble the entire plantation That leaves us with a hungry population Young kids with beautiful dreams and imagination But growing up with little or no education In circumstances of poor and troubled situations With no water or proper sanitation But still concludes with: Today and always I shout these words: Je t’aime, Africa Nda gukunda, Africa Eu amo-te, Africa Ndinokuda, Africa Ke a go rata, Africa Ana hibu ita, Africa Mena tanda wena, Africa Ana Behibek, Africa Nkwagala, Africa Nakupenda, Africa I LOVE YOU, AFRICA. Indeed! Read her beautiful poem here:
