SPIRIT OF AFRICA

Oh! Africa the mother of all lands,

The birthplace of the very first man,

How badly have you been treated by your brothers,

How badly have you been damaged by those you accepted in with a warm heart.

Oh! Africa the mother of the magnificent river Nile,

That has been flowing since the beginning of time,

Your history has been rewritten and fabricated by those who never existed when the great Sahara desert emerged from beneath the waters,

Your children was taken away in chains and the milk from your breast was sucked by others.

Oh! Africa the mother of many wonders of the world,

The majestic pyramids, the elegant Mount Kilimanjaro, the vast Serengeti and the alluring Victoria falls,

Home of great men,

Home of gold laden wealthy king Musa Mansa and the great freedom fighter Nelson Mandela.

Oh! Africa the black colour of your skin is a thing of beauty,

The melanin on the body of your children is priceless and sheen,

They say the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice,

I say the black in the berry is what's sweet in the juice.
