Africa My Home

A poem about my beloved ancestral home

I love my continent so dearly,
her diversity is seen rarely.
The cradle of civilization
with great artifacts of distinction.
A continent of empires ancient
with lands in resources sufficient.
Africa my cherished motherland,
I long to see your tribes United stand,
I desire to see your conflicts cease.
Leaders must gather to peace enthrone
as they work to ethnic strife dethrone.
Grant to God Africa's land on lease.
Continent of immense potentials
loaded with valuable essentials.
Africa my continental home,
the ancient jewel that predates Rome.
You are distinct with a gun shaped land.
