Africa

Africa
Your beauty flows
On an ocean vastly
You control waves like marine goddess.

Africa
Tell me the tales
Left on these metals by your offsprings
The tales of a moment you thirst for freedom
The tales of how you grow to be thick soil mother.

Africa
You are a temple
Of mighty gods
Like Shango, Abassi, Bemba, Chiuta, En-Kai and more
That radiates history like diamond.

Africa
Tell me the tales
On those neck beads
That also runs and dangles on your waist
When you shake to kpalongo, Atilogwu, Aduma...
Tempting oyibo to smile in praises for you.

Mother,
Your beauties are countless
It can't be read in figures or words
Love built a home and calls it "Africa".
