Beloved Alkebulan,
You beautiful majestic giant.
You look so resplendent, dressed in colours of your wildlands.
You're radiating with life from the colours of your blushing skies.
Such Splendor!
Sure your land that flows with milk and honey has been captured.
Sure the nations who have oppressed you are strong,
Their cities are fortified and there are giants among them.
Sure they have stolen the heart from inside you,
But that capture does not define you.
I know who you really are,
I know your name,
Because Africa, You are me!
As your remnant we will cross the horizon to find and redeem you my love.
We will walk in your Freedom.
We are your liberation.
Your remnant is rising to proclaim the victory.
Despite all that has been done, your best is yet to come for your people,
Your latter will be greater than your past.
Your people will sing and dance in the plains again.
You will be the bread basket of the world!
(Pouring out my mind into understanding Africa and her needs for the past 3 years going to 4, has strengthened my love for my continent and that is what gives me poetic license to write about her so lovingly this morning.
