I Love You

Winds blow Like music they hang in the air The melody is sweet Like a light breeze in a hot day. Soon the people will be free Free from human bondage. Birds sing thier tunes Foot solders are marching on Singing songs of liberation. Soon the trumpets will sound Of victory from ignoble regimes That enslave the people like birds in cages. Butteryflies dance in the air Free they are at last. Like the people They have broken from cacoons........ Cacoons of tribalism, racism and religious differences Free they are to go anywhere, everywhere. Rains fall over the lands The green shows over the expanses Reminding me of a land rich and fertile. Daggers are drawn ready for batlle To slay corruption and nepotism, name it........ In a land so full of promise. Lambs and kids play and jump To their mothers they run to suckle Mothers nature them in kindness and love. I am reminded of a motherland That I attach myself to I love you mother Africa.
