Why I Like Africa
I thank God
that I was born in Africa
because I love being
wet by the morning dews
and also enjoy the sun
that sharpens my skin
as ink does to a white paper.
I love going to cut
hey for my goats every morning
and also enjoy
the chirp of birds flying
from one tree to another.
I love the rooster
crowing every morning
indicating it’s dawn
and also our men and women
who are strong in the farming work.
I love communal ism
which is a great bond
and also drinking palm wine
on every Eke market day.
I love the natural
look of an African child
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 BLACK is beauty
which means
Africa has nature
as it was.
That is why I like Africa!
