Green and White Land

Do you know that somewhere in Africa lies a land as green as the most healthy pasture and as whitishly milky as the milk extracted from the cow served to the wealthiest royalty in the world In this land, Brains walk and rule In this land, Happiness is the dinner of every living soul In this land, Is culture so powerful that all ceremonies and festival are things of awe and wonder to visitors and nieghbours In this land, Is weather most conducive for the inhabitant, for hardly do the rains get too angry to disorganize their activities or the sun too wicked to make them unhappy For this land, God the maker brought out his special time to provide all necessities But the inhabitant of the land does not appreciate the maker’s wonderful works Ignoring all done for them Overlook the goodies in their land Just like the Israelites, very vulnerable to bad influence Becoming sheep led to the sacrificial alter without protest Leaving their nutritious milk, natural honey, dry land and brains for another to take, while embracing the sour milk, adulterated honey, dry land and dull brain of another Forgetting tomorrow while banking on today Oh the elders of the land!!!!! DIALOGUE!!! Deliberate for the interest of the unborn children of the land Pause For them for once! Blame mosquito for the restlessness of the night and put an act as one Remember! If the land is not watered, it will die, if the cow is not fed, milk will not flow and if brains are not appreciated and nurtured, it stays dormant. "Put this caution in your mouth and eat it, for the thirst will make you remember."
