O'Africa Poem by Aanuoluwa Adebanjo

O'Africa
A land of culture
A land of tradition
A land of heritage
A land of prestige
A land of pride
A land of dignity

O'Africa
The colony of the blacks
The home of courageous people
The pride of selfless heroes
Who laid down their lives
For the progress of their beloved continent
Who fought with dignity and willingness

O'Africa
What do you want to give in return?
What do you have to offer?
For those who died for you to live
For those who were tortured for you to progress
For those who fought for your freedom
What is your gift of appreciation?

O'Africa
Your love is all we need
Your care is all we ask
Your harmony is all we require
Your peace is all we desire
Your progress is all we expect
Your haven is all we seek

O'Africa
A land of cultural diversity
A land filled with rich mineral resources
A land flowing with milk and honey
A land of outstanding scenery
A land full of great future hopes
A land of a better tomorrow
