I Am Africa

I am Africa!

Rising bright and free,

From the shackles of slavery and exploitation.



I am Africa!

The voice of a thousand children,

Strong, defiant, steeped in hope and courage.



I am Africa!

The chant of a million mysteries,

From Ogun to Ifa, Amadioha and Ojukwu.



I am Africa!

The march of a thousand warriors; bullish, restive and untamed,

Mzelik, Shakar, Mandela, Ojukwu, Ganni, Achebe and many more yet undone.



I am Africa!

The destiny of a million souls,

Forged in blood, sweat and tears.



I am Africa,

A mine of many treasures; earth, water, gold and oil.

Pilfered, plagued and plundered, yet inexhaustible!



I am Africa!

Of women bright, gallant and iridescent.

Dark, daring and desirable – the pride of womanity!



I am Africa!

Child of a million tales of woe,

Abused, ravaged and defiled - yet unbroken!



I am Africa!

The dawn of black dominance,

Now rising, rising, fiery, shimmering and unquenchable!
