Being An African
I am an African,
Not because of my colour skin,
Not because of my faith in Jesus Christ,
Not because of my education,
Not because of eating African,
Food day and night,
Not because I speak African languages.
I am an African,
Not because of my position.
Not because of my African surname.
Not because it is my birthplace,
Not because I married a beautiful,
African queen.
I am an African,
Because I love Africa,
Because I love Africans.
Because I have a vision to develop Africa,
Because I promote the African Union,
Because I contribute to open eyes of
Africans,
Because I teach Africans the history of glory
And dignity.
Because I am enlightening Africans mind and
Thoughts.
I am an African forever and ever.
