Mother-Land

Childrens of mother land!
Citizens of mother land!
I call upon you my fellow neighbours!
Hear my concern my fellow neighbours!

We heard reports about your Africans around the globe
Citizens of the world yell like monkeys when they see them
They are likened to mandrill and shown bananas
Africa you portrayed yourself as beggars and inept

Africa! Your children are scatted all over
In pursuit of greener pastures
My brothers let us turn Guns into plowshares 
Africa unite to fight against ailments and poverty  

Poverty is claiming lives of your people
AIDS is robbing lives of our brothers and sisters
Crime is stealing our dignity and our pride 
Citizens of the world have a distorted view of us

Why unite only when there is a feast	
Mother land is bigger than world cup
Mother land is bigger than Africa Day
Africa is a home to all who dwell in Africa


How long shall we blaze with anger against each other
How long it will take us to unite as one nation
How long before we combat prejudice
How long before we combat xenophobia

Who are we fighting people?
Who is our enemy?
Blood is not an ink to paint our mother land's portrait
Africa Unite! We are bigger than civil wars

I Love Mother India

I love mother India......

From top of the mountain Himalayas 
down to the Indian ocean, mother
India is known as heavenly blessed country in the world.
She is always looks a most beautiful 
country on earth while nature hugs her.
Her mountains are covered with beautiful flora
while beautiful fauna walk freely in the jungle
Her valleys are flowing with water from heaven
and roll down to the ocean which is picturesque blue. 
Her citizens are friendly, kind and hospitable and never 
fail to show their love and faith to foreign visitors
Years have been passed but her cultural and traditional values
are still alive as was during golden days.
Eminent professionals are building her to the top of the world
while her hands are stretched to accommodate any refugees
Her love and affections reflects in Taj Mahal
Her Scientist makes her proud by technological inventions
She is a great mother on this earth who loves and cares for her people
in return her people showing their faith and love to mother India
