Why I Like Being African Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION
by Henry Ekwuruke, Nigeria Nov 14, 2006
Culture   Poetry

  

Being African is not being black
Every being is African
What a blessed generation
History beckons! Lions are happy

I am happy, to be in this land, Africa!
My motherland and my fatherland
A place were sun shines and rain rains
Thick hair that cuts my happiness

The life is culture and heritage
Wonderful mother that cares
Big gandy that loves children
Open ground for playmaking

Enjoyment and festivities at meals
Inspiring wonders and myths
Respct unlimited and enterprise
I enjoy drinking palm wine

And also telling people that Africa
has been a take-off point of the world
In human and natural resources.
I love to say that Africa is my home

That black people are beauty
Africa has nature as it was...
Africa is not a country but a home
Proudly African! Proudly Nigerian!
