I am Africa

15 Oct 2004

thuto
when the journey of light sees it's destiny
and darkness falls upon land
i stand praising the existence of man
when darkness reveals infamous mentalities
i express my natural born fire
my soul so deep it teases the core
I am Africa!
the one that gave birth to your being
for you to see and be
the fathers and mothers of the soil
and children of the light
that illuminated with might to give wisdom sight
I am Africa!
the one who speaks the language of amharic
and so beautiful like the eye of Kenya
so powerful like silver backs of the Congo
gather my children and bless them with hope
I am Africa!
feel the thunder of my emotions
as i express the nature of my liberation
forever flowing in my poetry
like the rivers of Nile, 
i am Africa
i am afro in every single hair
i am afrocentric in every king i bless
i am aphrodisiac in every emotion i express
I am Africa!
Africa i am and will be every step i take
stamping the ground like bongo's in the rain
feel my rhythm for it gives activity to sense
it is the motion that makes an action
the thought that makes it an idea
the force that keeps your feet upon the ground they stand
i am, and forever
Africa my nature i reveal
