MY AFRICA; UNITE TO REWRITE HER STORY

Africa; the land of great ancient myths

With culture diversified, but united mythos.

Traced to bear the ancestry of man

With the found evidence of modern humans.

Africa; like a rule of dynasty bestrides the equator

And encircles diverse unending climate sector

Stretching in awe-inspiring from the North Temperate Zone

Exuding the composite satellite imagery to the Southern pole.

Africa; a resource-rich and second-largest continent

With abundant natural resources that makes it pertinent

To the international community, especially the West

Such that they always want her to be their conquest.

Africa; they much talk about her in the global arena

But always present a mirror image of her aura.

They envy her diamonds, gold, coal, cocoa, and crude oil

That they glow while she mangles yourself in turmoil.

Africa; whose stories are always told in a horrible manner

And images portrayed like all she holds is poverty and hunger.

But we know Africa is fascinating, invigorating, and amazing

With her azure clouds and vivid green lands that are unending.

Africa; embossed in awe moist grayness and magnificent mountains

With swirling long-lasting waterfalls stimulating her fountains

And inter alia scenic view of hills and crystal beaches

Marvels the tourists and the geologists see her as a peach.

Africa; muddled in kleptomania that has left her in wanton hardship

And her people glued to delusions that wash up their craftsmanship

Such that they often let her down by being unable to see

The aura of mystery in her versatile resources given by nature for free.

Africa; still muddling through despite the variegated challenges she faces

Needs her people to be well articulated and embrace with a game face

The clarion call that the time is long overdue to unite to rewrite her stories

For only Africans can tell better the untold stories about Africa’s histories.

Africa; I look at the east, west, north, central and south

I hear; and I see the youths strutting; and yelling for change in loud shouts

For they’re tired of bad governments, rebels, militants, genocide and warring

For their future is not of hatred, food crisis, diseases, but devoid of suffering.
