Africa my Africa

A Rhema of cultures

Stocked traditions

Faded beliefs

Blocked streams

It’s now dawn

Yesterday, yesterday

It’s never yesterday

Sagehood was of white-haired

Palm wine was used to wash the eyes

Farmland crowned a man

Food was still original

Dancing footsteps was a celebration of tradition

Parents handed down history to their folks

The nights were virtuous

The morning carried great messages

Sweet virginity

Glorious vegetation

Blessed soils

Crude minerals

We are close to heaven’s gate

Black faces

Cracked feet from long shoeless journeys

Untouched beauty

Fallen biography

Great men lay breathless four feet
