Inside Green Africa

Inside the green land of Africa
An idea was born in a gentle mind
It grew up to develop like a hyacinth 
With pure water and no huge mud

Inside the huge green land Jinja
Africa, Europe plans to inform America 
The idea sounds rhythmic like good music 
Australia and the heaven will join for a dance

Inside the sunny green land of Africa 
Now, on social media, we share the news
Ideas flow from north to south to maxima
There’s no break in the minds of the writers

Inside the old green land of Africa
Development and women issues are the focus
That we achieve and truly celebrate
Ideas to nurture are many and welcome 

Inside the heart of Mandela’s land 
Uganda will be pregnant and will deliver
For the world to learn how the mass deter 
Hurdles of violence, opinions of underdevelopment

Inside the land of green Africa
Mothers, sisters, wives and daughters
Of families, communities, nations
Need your brain, your mouth and your hands
To build what have been our main dreams
The legacy foundation for our future generations.
