Africa A continent that I truly love A continent, not only do I call home But my heaven on earth Rich brown fertile soil Natural resources such as oil Acres and hectares of green fields Farms that have so much to yield From the tropic savannahs 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 But beyond these oh so wonderful attractions There is more to you than meets the eye 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 Illness and diseases that leave all helpless With limited assistance and medical access And most of all a stigmatization of all sorts That it is a land that bears all variations of problems With all this to bear and hold All your beauty and all your flaws You are my motherland. A place I call home. In my eyes, You are where paradise lies And through my generation You live to see us unite, You took many generations from their knees And made them stand strong and proud Work together day and night To see the time when you will light And shine ever so bright. Today and always I shout these words:..... Je t’aime, Africaafrica3 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.!!!!
