I'm Africa

II emanate from the cradle of humanity, Africa, a land of resplendent serenity. Fresh air caresses my skin, a balm to my soul, As verdant vegetation stretches, making my heart whole. This land of milk and honey, where nature's bounty abounds, Fertile soil and rich minerals, a treasure profound. Unity and dignity, a heritage so grand, A continent of contrasts, yet harmonious land. As an African child, with melanated skin so fair, Rich and healthy, with a body strong and rare. My blood flows thick, my bones resilient and bold, A testament to the land that nurtured me, young and old. Africa, a heaven on earth, with climates sweet, From savannas to jungles, where wildlife finds retreat. The rhythmic beats of drums, the melodies so pure, A cultural mosaic, rich and enduring, forever sure. The majestic Victoria Falls, a wonder to behold, The pyramids of Giza, ancient secrets to unfold. The Sahara's golden dunes, a vast expanse so bright, The Congo Basin's lush forests, a green delight. The warmth of Ubuntu, a philosophy so true, Humanity and kindness, shining through. From Maasai Mara's wildlife to Serengeti's plains, Africa's beauty is boundless, an endless refrain. I am to be African, proud and unafraid.
