A Poem To My Country

Dear fatherland the cradle of races you lie among the many with great sight of differences in this mulatto of western languages Oh great triangle! you rise and fall like ocean tides in landscape and beauty in patois and culture Tell me you're not corrupt deny racial discrimination country of peace river of prawns, Africa in miniature Cameroon.
