Not because im black.
But because my heart warms
And tears run down my face
When i think about AFRICA.
...
I am unique, an irreplaceable human being.
The first me and the last.
I am God's creature, no one will ever replace me.
...
The sound of your voice
Echoes in my mind day and night,
Its like a sweet lullaby.
...
I though it was triumph.
I rejoiced thinking
Our suffering was gone.
...
I was born to be a dark horse,
Not a misfit.
I was born to be a hero,
...
Hours passed by,
Days quickly ran by,
Weeks waved their goodbyes in a hurry,
Months slowly went by, smilling and fading away.
...
Campaigns have begun,
All of a sudden they care a
Great deal about us...
Ha! ha!
...
That you took your time
And opened my page.
Though my bio is not catchy,
...
i didn't count the days,
weeks smiled at me as they went by,
months danced and sang with me,
years wiped away my tears.
...
I'm about to close my eyes
And take a trip to dreamland,
Where castles lasts for only a night,
Where joys and sorrows are short lived,
...
One day i'll
Take off this mask,
And smile a genuine smile.
I'll look at the watch
...
I am just an ordinary guy...thanks for taking your time to read my poems..God bless you, it doesn't matter what name you call Him.)
I Am An African
Not because im black.
But because my heart warms
And tears run down my face
When i think about AFRICA.
I am an African,
Not because i live here,
But because the African
Sun lit my paths.
Because the air that i breath
Is from these majestic mountains.
That air nurtured me
Growing up.
I am an African,
Not because i can speak
Swahili, Shona, Zulu or Xhosa.
But because my heart is
Shaped like a question mark,
Just like AFRICA.
I am an African,
Not because i am black,
But because my umbilical cord
Is burried under the majestic
Mountains of AFRICA.
