Fate Placed Me In Africa

Fate placed me here in Africa Application I did not write Now I love Africa, I serve Africa I do not wish to be British, American, Russian I do not tell others to be African Let Whites be Whites, Colored be Colored Let Blacks be Blacks Do not convert me too your thing We live on earth- each at a corner to play games of life there; strikers, goal-keepers, defenders; there are spectators to give morale But do not relegate me to morale boosting when I can be striker or goal keeper We live on earth as one human race to emphasize brotherhood of humanity Brotherliness compels us to live as family but be you, and let me be me fate sealed the contract We come, live, go one life, one journey, one direction no passport, no check point, no exit each with deeds on the head for accountability African or not
