AFRICA

 

I once saw a dark maiden sitting on the roadside, sad and lonely

With tears flowing from her eyes

 

Oh,😥 I sought to know

 

Oh beautiful damsel , why sitteth alone on the roadside, with tears flowing from your eyes?

 

' I am neither crying or alone' she said

 

I am alive, Happy and joyous. Though my children have abandoned me and my enemies have become my help mates

 

'my sons are being killed by my siblings and my siblings living a gloomy life in all their existence'

 

Oh, let me cry in peace, the tears of victory 😭

 

For Africa shall be great again

 

Peace shall be restored again

 

For a new phase shall emerge, brighter than the sky of the earth, Flowing than the oceans of the earth, burning than the volcano of the earth

 

Regardless of my condition, yet I shall be well again

 

I weep 😥 with my eyes but rejoice with my heart for Africa shall be well again.
