AFRICA SPEEKS
Africa speaks with a voice so bold,
beyond the tales that have been told.
From the sands of Sahara and the plains of Serengeti,
her whispers carry stories of pride and dignity.
She speaks of ancient civilizations,
of Nubian queens and tribal formations.
Her echo resonates in the call of the drums,
her rhythm alive in the songs of the slums.
Africa speaks of struggle and resilience,
through colonization and injustice's brilliance.
Yet her spirit remains unbroken,
as the sun sets on the African horizon.
She speaks of diversity in her skin,
a tapestry of colors from without and within.
From the ebony darkness to the golden sun,
she celebrates the uniqueness in everyone.
Africa speaks with the roar of the lion,
fierce and mighty, unmatched in scion.
Her strength is etched in the kooboo grass,
where civilizations rise and everlast.
She speaks of her land, abundant and grand,
where the Zambezi falls and the Nile expands.
A tapestry of landscapes, vast and wide,
from the mountains of Kilimanjaro to the riverside.
Africa speaks in the gentle breeze,
caressing the savannah with tender ease.
Her whispers carry tales of wildlife's retreat,
from the elephants' trumpets to the rhino's fleet.
She speaks of hope amidst the strife,
the desire for freedom and a better life.
From Soweto's streets to Timbuktu's pyres,
she kindles the dreams that never tire.
Africa speaks with a voice so clear,
demanding the world to stop and hear.
Her stories are etched in the ancestral bone,
guiding the path for generations to come.
