I have not posted a poem for a while, but 2Hrs B4 has now made a comeback. No complains today, I have forgotten the cries its time to CHEER AFRICA.
CHEER UP AFRICA
Sing, dear mother land
Of your richness at hand
No better place one can find
Cool serine air of your land
Sing songs of acceptance
Though must be a rare chance
Sing a song
Dance a dance
And your image you enhance
Quiet beaches you have
Beautiful forests you have
In your waters sweet fishes thrive
Dear lives you saves
Mama Africa oh mother Africa
Sing a song
Dance a dance
Civil war the bother
Conflicts should weather
We dance in clean weather
Donning white feathers
Heal your wounds mother land
Mourn no more
A change is always good
Sing of your positives
And not negatives
Sing the righteous hymns
And leave the wicked dance
Sing a song
Dance a dance
Cheer up mother land,
Cheer!
