Solomon Ochwo-Oburu Poet Lyric

Duty Africa

Africa looks at Africans
not at foreign adventurers
the one with brain to think
skills to make machines
ideas for creative innovations
values to survive Africa
heart to serve with no gain

why waste time out there?
what tells better story,
than story to build Africa?
duty for African homeland
is duty to  Maker of Africa
rise up, work all you Africans
duty Africa is duty scared

this homeland we cherish
where our umbilical cord rests
is motherland for eternity
the things that make Africa
hospitality and hard work
energy of the people of Africa
should make Africa shine

together we build better Africa 
disunited we build dreaded Africa
