I AM AN AFRICAN CHILD.

I am an African Child

Black to the bone, 

Well taught at home.

Wise with the idioms of my elders

Tell me, how can I fail or fall by the way side?

Strong willed and culturally bound for a journey, the challenges ahead.

I am an African Child

Of a warrior, my father

And of a strong woman, my mother

Tell me, how can I be weak?

My voice is key like the locks and must be heard by all; a resounding drum from the mountain top.

I am an African Child

Of modern days madness, a culturally nude!

Many call it technology but for so long, so wrong

It is 'Junks-No-Logic'! 

A lost African Child, who will find you?

I am an African Child

A hard-working child!

A conscious child!

Never again, will I throw-away with one what my fathers held with their two hands.

Of my colour will pride like the lions.

Never again, will I allow the sharks to swallow me across the oceans.

I am an African Child

I am a good child

Love me like a child even when I am old

And I will love you too.
