African Hope Poem by Martino Fortuin

Gather ye...Gather ye
Come...sit at the table of hope
Hear...hear...hear...

I am the hope for Africa's children.
When I can see light, Africa can see light
When I can hope, Africa can hope,
When I can learn, Africa can learn and
When I can smile, Africa can smile.
When I roar with the thunder of the mighty
Zambezi, Africa too...roars

Gather ye...Gather ye
I am the table of hope
Listen...listen...listen...

Within me lies ubuntu...yes ubuntu
Let me provide for you
Let me nourish you
Let me share with you
Let me shelter you
Let me inspire you to soar as the fish eagle does...yes soar

For I am Africa...Africa is me
