OH MOTHER AFRICA!!!

By Adanu Paul Worlanyo


Oh Mother Africa!!!
Oh Mother Africa
The Mother of all humanity
From your bosom,
Rose the greatest civilization ever in human history
Through your sons and daughters,
You gave the world arts and sciences
Through your dark forests,
Emerged great scientists of all centuries
Through your fertile lands,
You managed to feed the world,
When humanity was at the brink of its destruction,
You gave it Christianity
When you mastered fire,
You contributed to the spread of humanity allover the planet.

Oh Mother Africa
The most beautiful mother on planet earth
The mother of love and hospitality
The mother of peace, tolerance and reconciliation
Your sons and daughters were raped
They were enslaved
The white man called you a savage
They exploited you,
Discriminated and oppressed you
They finally conquered you
But with all this you loved them and you never revenged.
You welcomed them again and ate with them
What a wonderful mother you are.

Oh Mother Africa
For so long you have been crippled
Your old days of glory are faded past the Horizon
One day,
Your sons and daughters,
Should unite for peace, love and prosperity
No longer should you be the beggar of the world
On your two feet you will rise,
To make your children proud of you.
One day, mother Africa, you will get the respect that you deserve on the world stage
