ABOUT AFRICA

ABOUT AFRICA
There was once a land unknown
A people unseen , a destiny unborn
Trees like hills towering to the skies
Mountains like fountains welling to the heaven
The sun glowing like a river of gold across the horizons
And the field? Green as green could ever be
Africa , Africa was indeed a
land of hope ,
A land of dream
A land of pearls and treasures
And a beautiful land of freedom
But then came the hovering cloud of darkness
The midst of sorrow and the frog of death
Man became an enemy to man
And like a scavenging beast we dug ourselves a grave
A grave in which we buried
  Our honor- Honor for our land
  Our Esteem- Esteem for our Leaders
  Our Pride - Pride as a nation
  Our Prestige - Prestige  as a people
And now we are considered as the white man's grave
God bless us and free us from this grief
