Africa Is Not A Country Poem by Andesikuteb yamusa

I wish Africa was a country,
And I wish it has 54states,
With heaven as its capital,
And madiba,
That silent eagle as its president.

I wish Africa is a country,
Cos Burundi will have been a state and that governor of it wouldn't have lived forever,
And even if he wished maybe like kagame or museveni,
By amending the constitution,
I will have reminded him that burundi is a state and the federal constitution is supreme.

I wish Africa was a country,
Then bokoharam, al shabab, ISIL,
Woundnt have dared to stop anyone from sleeping.
Cos even just a score of officers,
Just from two states,
Maybe the Arab warriors of cairo,
Or even the descendants of chaka the zulu would have finished them.

I wish my dear africa was a nation,
Then it woudnt have been the sharing grown of some strange faces.
Some NATO birds who excrete fire,
Or a russian village market for some A.K -47,
Maybe not even an american breeding ground or better still a chinese dumping ground.


I wish Africa was a nation,
Then I will have married from one of this great ethiopian virgins.
My son will have had a mahogany skin.
Maybe i will travel to the south and taste of the sweet wine and travel to the north to pray in some huge mosque.

Untill my wish comes to pass,
Never you sit down in some strange land and think that we are a country.
We are a nation
Maybe you call us a continent
