I was seven when we departed for East Africa and what a journey lay ahead of us. First the Suez canal which felt like you could touch the opposite bank as we sailed through them.

So young but strong is my identity Iam a Lion that never retreat My outward appearance can be fragile but Iam not weak I roar in thirsty for my destiny People belittle me due to the atrocities I go through They judge my abilities by mirroring at my past Yet, my past can't define me Just like mother Earth Iam in motion Iam...
