Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

Only In Africa

Only in Africa
Salute to my ancestors
For you lived to live
For ever
With a pure heart 
I pour a sweet honey 
Of gratitude for your
Sacrifice to mankind

Only in Africa
The land of kemet
 Was the New York of
The ancient days
A land of mysteries 
A land of history
A land of ancient 
With it 
True natural science
That exist till date
Guess that was the genesis
Of modern science
We all share today
As the pyramid stand
So solid to evidence 

Only in Africa
Like history said
And reality reveals
Man first migration
Was first rooted to
Kemet
Like people rush to live
On New York today
So was in the accident time 
My ancestors grant no visa
My ancestor bear no flags
My ancestors creat no boarders
It was a land for all
Like I wonder 
Where comest this 
Ways of life we living
Today

Only in Africa 
Man kind forget we are one 
Media show case Africa
Like is no go area
Where you see flies 
Settling on the faces
Of a dieing innocent baby
Cos of a war 
Where new illness are
Found 
What an illusion 

Only in Africa 
Let me tell you
The people of Africa
Worry less
But only suffer from
The greedy ignorance
Of it leader's
Yet on the street 
Is rare to see sadness
On the faces of the
African people
 
Only in Africa 
In Africa we love 
Rhythm and we
Believe that life itself
Is a rhythm, every thing 
Has a rhythm
  Like we always dance
All time with a joy
That come from within
On every corners 
Of the street in Africa
You Always hear,
See, feel, rhythm
With people always 
Close to their radio
Some with sticks and
Drums
Constantly with a new dance
Steps
With a heart full with
Songs of a new day 

Only in Africa 
Oh I love the smile
On the faces of the people
In Africa
Despite the hard condition 
Oh I love the energy
From the African people
What could be more 
Precious than happiness
With a pure and joyfully 
Mind

Only in Africa 
Life is not a paradise
Of roses
But roses are only
Ment for the strong
For only in Africa 
I live to see a people
With a natural joy
Out of no
Where
We manage to live
To the fullness of
Life with out no
Grife,
Despite what it is 
It is to be that here
We are a people of
No fear of life
Guess that why 
You could see 
African people with
So much of energy
From nature 
With A joy 
despite the negative
Circumstances surrounding
Us
Too many place I go
But still can't find this feelings
No where else but 
Only in Africa
