I'M An African
I'm an African
Not because I was born in Africa, but I love her cultures and traditions. Her 54 children are blessed with natural resources. The rising sun and the bright blue skies must be my pride.

I'm an African
Rising from the dusty plains of pain.
This is the land of everlasting strife who stands firm. Her beautiful hips and valley quenches my thirsty spirit.

I'm an African
My eyes weep for Africa.
Because her cultures have been murdered.
She lies in the pool of disunity, crying for unity.

I'm an African
Residing in the land of diamond and mountain. Her footprints on the map
might unlock the mystery of freedom from the dark. Her scares image paints the dazzle of her legacies.

I'm an African
I'm surrounded by Gold, shining Diamond and green barked forests and misted mountains. I'm the producer of oil and iron ore; the planter of gardens,
And the builder of dams.

I'm an African
Great icon of this Earth.
I feel the sun on my back
And the sand between my toes.
I can feel the blessing of the breeze and
I can hear the sound of the waves.
