Proud African Child

©AUTHOR: ABRAHAM GAYAH

①sometime others ask why

Other feels sad and attempt to ask

But who to ask

For some birthplace = death place

Comes once and for life

No more rebirths except change

Why Africa my birthplace

A land of no peace no rest

Other have said there is total absent of the of the creator in Africa

Despite all the critic

No one can change their nature

You are just what you are

I am Liberian

A black native African child

A mother of black

A father of non-white

Just a full African child

Wanting to make Africa proud

Like Weah, Nkrumah and Mandela

②oh people of Africa

Why cry at Africa 

Why neglect of homeland

The greatness of this land

From all side to all sides

Great sons and daughters born here

World changers are born here

And if you are still doubting

I am going to be one of them

Born for greatness

Full of greatness

③made for the change

 A climate of great fame

A reign of power

Other have abuse power

But after the thousand years of night

Come today a bright light

To shine upon Africa

Lighting every sides and parts

④ I am an African

Breaking the chain

A leader of kings

Despite the pains

Let it fall abundance of rain

Conflict we have slain

Hatred and illiteracy we blame

For all our shames

Even in the sham we still make great names

People of bright fames

From north to south

A family of agape love

From east to west

Honest as doves

A new generation is born

Where peace and love is bound

Leaving our pains and hatred behind

The bad years are all gone

Like marrow peace shall live in our bones

No one will ever walk alone

For agape love we have stolen

This way of life we shall teach forever

I AM A PROUD AFRICAN CHILD

CALL ME MR. AFRICANIST
