Today is Africa Day,
I am not sure what to say
Even as I, with my forehead, lay
And kneel down to begin to pray
Whether Africa knows it is its day
That I know not today
I am not sure how,
Burundi will celebrate
Congo will ululate
South Africa will participate
South Sudan will integrate
Somali will operate
That Africans do not own it,
Renders Africa Day a long slit,
Cutting across a rugged skirt
Used as clown costume in a skit
African women away the day knit
And men and children care not a bit
Even I know not how to
I found out on Google too
And the trending like sky blue
Even as many of us remain blue,
Indifferent to that which is true,
Across the nations exceeding fifty-two
