Poem Title:
Poem
I represent a culture so deep in history The history our ancestors passed on to our generation The foundation that lead to the greatest civilisation Which has open the eyes of many and de ears of hearers We stood so strong from the river Nile Bathe deep within its riches, sailed with great desire and landed as conquerors We fought side by side with the Nubians against the Assyrians Slaying giants and warriors from far and near with our proudly manufactured tools One thing that will never be taken from us is our pride n stool The pride of our glorious heritage, the stool of our graceful ancestors and our homeland Africa A home we lived in since ancient Solomon A place we find solace,peace, love and care and see the fruits of our labour yield each day A place we toil the land and get blessed with its harvest What a great joy and a pleasure to call myself an African child Africa runs deep thru my veins like hot spring steam Its water quenches my thirst, its food satisfy my hunger and its lovesoothes my soul and heals my wounds It gives me a sense of belonging, building a society together with my people what a joy to know our people have such big hearts,very hospitable, humble and unique in our own special way We make hospitality a grace that blesses people from all walks of life And we humble ourselves to kings and slaves of north and south, east and west Our ancestors handed to us something more precious than silver n gold And we cherish it with all our hearts,minds and souls Today we stand strong not minding what our oppressors say Nor think of what they accuse us for...we live on a free land with free minds We believe in our culture passed on to us for many centuries And we are delighted of it as it unravels itself each day to strengthen us and lead us on I am proud to be African And am blessed to be identified as an African child Africa our true identity!!!!
