Africa

AFRICA
Africa my continent, 
I idolize you,
But let’s forget about the past,
And focus on tomorrow, 
Let’s not be like the earthworm,
That you take,
You think that it does not know, 
Where it’s going,
But it returns to the, 
Ground.
We have the oceans and streams,
But we lack navies,
We need more navies.
I idolize thee.
She is the nature’s ally,
But we lack engineers,
We need more engineers. 
We are connected with the,
Ozone layer,
But the sun sets from our
Village to the north.
She is populated,
But we need more,
Infants,
I idolize you.

We have reverence,
But we lack pope.
We have cardinals,
But, 
We need crusaders,
We have brothers,
But we need our niece and aunts.
For our markets,
We have scissors but we 
Lack machines,
When will we have barbers shops?
