Afrobiscus
This is Africa a friend to the west and home
At west with Eastern coal
River Benue bend us to farm
River Nile march her name like
Nobles night of bliss in Cairo
She is the anchor of sun with earthen heritage
This is Africa the joy of mother earth
The domain of nature and earthen fertility
Like Bee's and Honey comb
Africa the ancestral home of music
Like the dancing colours of leaves by the shores of
Niger Delta
This is Africa the hook of soils wealth
By tip and zip lite of natures gifts
She is a land of threshing pool of wealth
By the parlour of art she is the land of Goldsmith
This is Africa the peak plough of cultural bloom
Like the blacksmith furnace
Africa a confluence home of palm wine
The bowel of soup and hot pepper soup with
Forest citizens as spice as her kitchen smokes
Smells with fresh fish like Barbers cream
This is Africa with rural children to glance
for her hope
Africa an ethnic colony of tribal crowns
A land with spring of running water
Africa the pyramid of craftsmanship
This is Africa an intellect land
A global topography the Eden of all history
Africa is a garden of talent like a potters workshop with ripples and riddles
Africa the scroll of time the beginning of history
