The African Continent

"Anytime the sun rise,it smiles with me, And when it's setting,cries with me, It really loves my race, Respects my unique custom, Always praying to get closer to me, How colourful it breaks its rays into me, My children likes it, How good and powerful it is, Violence can't intimidate when it should appear and disappear, Birds sing to make sure they get what they want from me; Flies in the sky to highest horizons, With luring and seductive feathers, Mountains and valleys,full of wild and overwhelming animals of different species, Green vegetation,full of herbs good to remediate pestilences, and clean water bodies; Thus, attractive waterfalls and rivers which flow into tunnels and convert into one broad source, ...pour its relevance to a big ocean, Nature do I sleep within; Surrounds me with seasons backed with fortunate futures, I'm the bravest,strongest,confidential and carries prospective qualities as these, Enmity doesn't play master plans against my truth, Political societies that contains me in the world recognition, Counts my flaws against me, Everything is really going to be fine, Colonisation stole my dominance,changed the status of me to slavery, Yet still,my birthright is held respectively, Out of my belly comes refreshing and nutritional crops, Democracy is a banner placed to my gate, Enemies reveal Hypnotism against my progression, What of Imperialism? Weapon to crash my bones, But I'm rooted to a rock, For I'm likened to Mount Zion, Black is my ultimate colour, And nothing would change me, 'AFRICA' is the name; home of peace and solidarity",
