Whip Weakness Into Wellness, Africa Poem by John Sensele
Whip Weakness Into Wellness, Africa
Wake up, Africa! Rise from your slumber
Rise, Africa and serve your children
Who for too long on them poverty you lumber
Time to shine, time to bless your brethren.
Wake up, Africa! Stop sleepwalking
Awaken your potential, tap to the maximum your potential
Which for long has served a cantankerous king
Time to shine, time to cultivate your credential.
Wake up, Africa! Arise, Africa, arise
Arise, Africa and exploit your fauna and flora
Which for too long you've hidden from their sunrise
Time to shine and shimmer at fabulous fora.
Wake up, Africa! Africa, lead the way
Lead the way to your happiness and greatness
Which for too long has held no sway
Time to shine, time to whip your weakness into wellness.

Very poignant poem, I feel that Africa can and should help itself. They have the most beautiful animals that are being slaughtered and will soon be extinct. They have travesty in humanity as well, and it breaks your heart knowing it has been going on for so long and still nothing has changed. Brilliant poem.
