Amos Momo Ngumbu Jr Poet Blank verse

Africa, Wake Up

Africa, Africa,

Africa Wake up, wake up,
Your time of success is coming,
The future awaits you.
Wake up from your seat & walk,
You're not there to stay.

Africa, Africa,

You have a dream to work on.
Stop sleeping in your dream.
Your friends are heading to their,
Journeys.

Africa, Africa,

The hope is still there, what are you,
Thinking of?
Is it natural resources?
No, no, no, no Africa, l don't think so.
You have all, but you don't want to put,
Them to use.

Africa, Africa,

When l turn right, l see mysterious of things,
Occuring on the surface of Africa.
When l turn left, l see tears rolling down,
The map of Africa.

Africa, Africa,

You are the problem to your children.
When l think of the physical features,
Tears roll down my eyes creeping towards,
The center of my chest.

Africa, Africa,

Iron ores, we export them and import,
Vehicles.
Why don't we use those ores in,
Manufacturing those imported vehicles.
Why Africa?
Africa problem is Africa.
