Africa Is Too Old To Be Young

Africa is too old to be young
the  source of all humans
keep pointing on one root
i wonder where the world 
could begin from
 if we fail to recognise our
existing self 
with out it root in Africa

Africa is too old to be young 
is like to say a daughter
is the mother of her mother
Africa is always our mother 
land 
yes all humans
we all started migration 
to every where we are now
from Africa 
that is the truth 

Africa is too old to be young 
no old human history exist without
first from mother land Africa till now
what will you show to the world 
today without? the knowledge
of the truth 
alot has be hidden about 
africa 
alot lies has been told 
about Africa 
is not new how Africa Is 
underated world wide
yet without? Africa 
the world can't survive 

Africa is too old to be young
i encourage the world 
to summon courage 
and look after it parent
Africa is the parent of all 
of us 
your race don't count 
when it come to the truth
cos already we have been bless
beyond skin colours 
i advice the world to 
stop exploiting Africa 
i wish the world understand 
what benefits it will be 
if we let Africa be the 
way is naturally meant to be 
so let's 
stop the wars

Africa is too young to be old
the child can't have peace 
when he or she don't allow
it parents to have peace
the world can never be at peace
if Africa is still on poverty and agony
the world can never be blessed
if Africa is a curse 
the world has been long 
in a deep trouble yet 
we could change our 
hard time only when 
we realise the benefits of 
Africa is not only for 
greeds
