Poem Title:
Poem
Africa, can rise. But that is only if we are ready to fight. And to end our plight, Our weakness should come to light. But Africans think is normal? That our children under five should be dying of malaria. But I ask, are we proud to be tagged with poverty? And as a continent with no dignity? Yes! We have to be in haste, Because there is no more time to waste. A people united in faith, Is stronger than the bombs the enemy will make. So to our divided Africa, let us mingle, So that we can become single. And together, We can push Africa further. But I it is only the mulish, That always want to remain foolish. So if only we want to be illustrious, Then Africans should not keep quiet about our nefarious. And let us not always be clamorous But rather, be adventurous. And to our leaders I advise, You are able to afford iPad, Meanwhile, our girls at puberty lacks sanitary pad. So can’t you see your own followers bewailed? After you promised them ecstasy. But what happened after they hailed. Only to realize they were living in fantasy. We have made them enjoy mansions and cars that are very deluxe. So I ask, why they won’t relax. And act, only when they see the body and property of their people, rot and rust, To form dust. But Africa must rise. Mother weeps because her children are so soft and plaint to be fooled Because we have being used as weapons for coups. So instead of standing for democracy, We Africans opt for nothing but autocracy. But is time we say no to fixity, To help change our destiny. And we should also be ready to fulminate the ways of the devil, And depart from deeds that are evil. But if we refuse and fold our hands and think of trepidation, Then we should blame ourselves for the destruction of our nations.
