My Hope

Look at those 
hills and rivers
Perfectly 
situated on 
this Dark 
continent
I smile as I 
look at Table 
Mountain
Blowing a kiss 
to mount 
kilimanjaro
At night when 
we are all 
asleep
They speak
About the 
good old 
times
When it was 
just 
stones,birds 
and trees
See 
everything 
thing changed
When Homo 
sapiens
Started 
chopping 
down 
everything 
building 
streets
Now as I 
listen to the 
birds tweet
I can feel they 
sorrow
As they speak 
about they 
friends 
Pythons and 
rhinos as they 
at a risk of 
being extinct.
But still africa 
is beautiful
Colourful and 
today all da 
races Mix
Don't focus 
your eyes on 
poverty
And the 
corrupted 
government
But be 
enchanted by 
our 
Gorillas,jungles 
and our rivers
Washing 
away all our 
troubles
Stare at the 
sky as it 
promises 
A better day
In Africa 
there's Hope
