Africa Where Are Thy Powers? by IzunnaOkafor(m): 9:50am On Apr 24, 2020 |
By Izunna Okafor Africa Africa Africa! Oh the once mighty and heroic Africa Why has thou grown so cold? Why has thou remained thus numb? A fremd is here in thy enclave Battling thy home without mercy And battering thy all in thy all Before thy very eyes, oh Africa! Thy peace is stolen And fear injected in thy veins With thy activities all at halt All by same unwelcome visitor. Thy hands are caged And thy mouth silenced with mask While thy children die in numbers Before thy very eyes, oh Africa! Hunger is dire in the land Yet thy children are home and docked For the fear of the fremd And thou dost nothing. Thou keepest quite, oh Africa! In the midst of all these Waiting for the Whites to solve thy puzzle And the world to come to your rescue. When hast thou grown lazy, Africa? Where are thy ecumenic powers? Where are thy roots and thy foods? What happened to thy herbs? Why art thou dependent on the Whites? Why hope on them for solution? Why look akimbo, oh Africa? Can't solution come from thee? Are thy bushes there in vain? Thy creatures and powers to create Africa, recall thy deeeds in the past And mights and beauty in the days of old. Arise, oh Africa, to save the world For a fremd has trapped the earth And the key with the earth remains Arise oh Africa, and find ye the key. Arise, Africa, Arise Leverage thy powers and flowers The world is waiting for your Arise, oh Africa, arise. © Izunna Okafor, 2020. |
