AFRICA

The beauty of Africa is surrounding us

It lies beneath the African colours

Found in the yellow sunflowers and the 

Red roses in the green natural surroundings

The nature carries the beauty of Africa

The beauty of Africa is within us

It lies inside the human soul

Where our hearts beat to the 

Rhythm of our rainbow nation

Our smiles carry the beauty of Africa

The beauty of Africa is found in a fetus

Instilled deep in the womb of a mother

Where a baby is bound to embrace life

And be part of the African population

The innocence of a child carries the beauty of Africa

The beauty of Africa is in my image

As I portray my true Africanism

Oh! My Africa, how I love thee

I am an African and I am 

Proud to be an African
