Africa!
my motherland
in you I have identified my name
my name buried so long under
...
I'm surrounded by Fire
And it's burning me
but don't tell Mama
I'm surrounded by Water
...
I will never die
Even when all I have worked for crumbles
I will never die
Even when fate decides
...
Do you believe in love the way I do?
Do you think we believe in the same love?
Genuine love
Pure love
...
My everything
for you I will do anything
so far you've change my world
through your said words
...
There was a Girl
A teenage Girl
she has all changed
Her personality has changed
...
I was in need,
i needed a friend
to share my thoughts
and secrets.
...
I sit and my mind travels,
back to the moments we had.
some were fantastic and good,
some were bad and sad.
...
Young we are
our stories we don't know
our origin we fight to educe
the world has made us intrepid
...
Peace is Harmoney
for it cannot be bought with
our money
it seeks sudden silence
...
A blind goddess
who seeks truth, feels truth
and knows truth
she sees nothing but truth
...
When our tears are as dry as a
desert,
and our mind as shallow as a lake
and our laughter no longer receding
...
The heart,
is of two types
the lying heart
and the loving heart.

Africa My Motherland
Africa!
my motherland
in you I have identified my name
my name buried so long under
the pains of separation and segregation
my eyes are seeing the excellency of the present
and my ears hearing No More Racism
oh! Africa
revealed beyond the rains of the past
with days of dreams and abandoned ideas
in your presence I have discovered
the memory of our being.
serving my motherland is my hobby
God bless Africa! !
My motherland! ! !

Favour is a Flavour that adds Savour to your Labour.
even if you don't have a role model refuse to be an old model.
when Fate decides no one, can compromise it
Am too relevant to be neglected
You can always make a difference
