O’Africa ®
Your oldest inhabitants, yet so full of resources
Has left me to wonder the treasure beneath
That beautiful red earth soil,
that empowering heat that bonds you to nature
and my desire to know you within
From dust to earth I have arrived
With gleaming eyes and skin as black as a coal
With my first glimpse of Africa, my mind wondered
Am I already a victim of desire, of wars, of hunger
No one knows, yet it’s easier to predict.
Am I apart of those starving and desperate souls?
Awaiting their last verdict of life
With graves already written on their fate
Am I already the batches of infamy?
With the same scars of broken, burdened and outworn destiny.
O’Africa so rich
Yet so corrupt with senseless war
Your ammunitions of destructions
Has hacked lives away
The smell of death has filled our land
With bodies of our love ones
O’Africa my cherished home
The proud land of our forefathers
One day you will rise and shine again
Have faith and live in peace my love.
