Hi

in #poetry7 years ago

When next they show you AFRICA
Tell them to show you our heritage
When next they give you a bad blur picture of our lifestyle
Tell them to paint a vivid picture of our wisdom
Tell them not to show your our broken part
Be brave enough to show them our woken part.

Don't focus on our corruption
As long as you invest on our population
Be proud to show them how far we ve come
Don't be shy to show them our resources
Sing to them of how high we ve climbed.

Show them the record we ve set
Tell me them how valuable we re
Show them our sounds
But don't let them change our beat.

Show them how we refined the chain of slavery
To the gold chain of luxury
Tell them we don't joke with our tradition
Tell them if they ever doubt our words
They should ask "BOLA RAY"
To help reveal all to them.

Tell them about our hair texture is soft,
like that of a wool from a lamb
Show them our ever glowing skin,
that is made of diamonds
Tell them our gold keeps us warm
when it's cold outside.

Our land is full of nutrients because of our rich dark soil
Tell them there is part of heaven in Africa
Tell them Africa is the home of God
We are not people of colours
We are fearless as the stallion
Our heritage is endless
The voice of our lions can be heard
in a millions miles away,
Our giraffe can get a better view of the world
our skin alone scream Africa .

Africa is not dirty ,
Africa doesn't not need to be soaked,
in clean waters to be approve by eyes.

Don't be shy of Africa
Claim it ,Love it represents it well
WE ARE AFRICFB_IMG_1502102937119.jpgANS. ..
