God On Africa

Weep not Africa Cradle of civilization I created you on a Monday morning You are no less my first born Than other races Though other nations might scorn and despise you You are the heir to my throne Have you ever stopped to look inward? How long will you continue to ignore The beauty that lies within? I have planted nature in you Your greenness no man can take away I have bestowed you with endless sunshine I have made your land more fertile than any other I have endowed you with some of the world's Greatest mineral resources Who planted the gold and diamond in South Africa? What about the oil in Nigeria and Algeria? What about the cocoa in Ghana? And the rich coffee in the East? Weep not Africa Unity and selfless service are what exalts a nation Look how much was pillaged from you Where did they not plunder? But I have replenished you Africa! Yours is a well that never runs dry!
