African Synergee

Chloro-feel feeds my poetree Feet tap to my own tapestree It’s roots nourishment to my ancestree Fruit ripe aloft a thriving family tree A cultural emergence of vibrancy To uproot generational poverty Teeming with seedling of indigenous coffee Colour to brighten a new generation of free Beautiful beans of evergreen forestree Intellectual rhyme schemes nest on a solid gantree Bribery and corruption a shameful legacy Pyramid schemes crumbling into redundancy Adam was moulded from black clay potteree His African Eden cultivated like a visionaree His aim a productive African industree African renaissance in spite of European fear Responsible LEADERship with renewed steam energee Originality built on a rich histree Integrity integral to our authenticity and credibility A future powered by nuclear chemistree Closed borders no longer a hindrance to African unity A well oiled machinery like a symphony Radicalisation inspired by emancipation from slaveree The black gold pumped through me Becoming a life giving refineree African continent hot as a bakeree I’m your chocolate confectioneree Fresh out of the oven, a sizzling jamboree My VERNACULAR the language of trade & commerce My 67 minutes sold to ‘MADE IN AFRICA’ across the sea My banks inundated with fresh greenaree My people ever-loving, living in harmony An African trademark of skilled hard currency, wealthy My African dream of unlimited opportunity not fantasy An infectious tendency & an influential prosperity To leave you green with envy Export into the world my success STOREE
