I Am An African

I am an African I was born in Africa Suckled mother Africa breast I am beauty Africa I stand under blue skies Over drastic mountains To behold vibrant countries And feel at home I bow down to salute heroes Died on struggle Striving Africa liberation Development and capacity Hail Africa You are our mother Feeding us with prosperity Anointing us with acceptance Africa is my mother She will never fade Gloom or cease I am an African

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.
