Africa My Home

Lost in the controversy of

Being of colour.
Being born in a country
With amazing history.
Africa she is loved by so many.
Her beauty shines from mountaintops,
Her land covers greenery
And fruitful life,
But deep down in her roots
She is struggling with poverty,
Her children are in danger,
As cities get flooded,
By enemies, weighing her down.
Oppression, racism, starvation.
Politicians, trying there best,
Some hard at work, and some hardly
Give a damn.
We need to save her, before they destroy her.
Her beauty turns to darkness.
Africa my home,
She inspires me to be my best,
Overcoming apartheid,
Living in the era of destruction.
She will get over,
She will arise from her ashes,
She is my future.
