African Synergee

Chloro-feel feeds my poetree
Feet tap to my own tapestree
It’s roots nourishment to my ancestree
Fruit ripe aloft a thriving family tree
A cultural emergence of vibrancy 
To uproot generational poverty

Teeming with seedling of indigenous coffee
Colour to brighten a new generation of free
Beautiful beans of evergreen forestree
Intellectual rhyme schemes nest on a solid gantree
Bribery and corruption a shameful legacy
Pyramid schemes crumbling into redundancy

Adam was moulded from black clay potteree
His African Eden cultivated like a visionaree
His aim a productive African industree
African renaissance in spite of European fear
Responsible LEADERship with renewed steam energee
Originality built on a rich histree 
Integrity integral to our authenticity and credibility 
A future powered by nuclear chemistree

Closed borders no longer a hindrance to African unity 
A well oiled machinery like a symphony
Radicalisation inspired by emancipation from slaveree
The black gold pumped through me 
Becoming a life giving refineree
African continent hot as a bakeree
I’m your chocolate confectioneree
Fresh out of the oven, a sizzling jamboree

My VERNACULAR the language of trade & commerce
My 67 minutes sold to ‘MADE IN AFRICA’ across the sea
My banks inundated with fresh greenaree
My people ever-loving, living in harmony
An African trademark of skilled hard currency, wealthy
My African dream of unlimited opportunity not fantasy
An infectious tendency & an influential prosperity 
To leave you green with envy
Export into the world my success STOREE
