AFRICA
PRESENTS
Behold,Africa!A
new dawn
From whence ye
shall no more a pawn
Sure,a new age
to behold the brightest
A solemn brightness
yielding from the grim darkness
'Tis a
new story to be told;
A new light to
behold
From the Pyramids
on high
To the ever trailing
Nile
Through the golden
hues in which the deserts lie
To the Lands
of Gold and Diamond that never die
Not omitting
the mellifluous Kiswahili
Nor the rich
culture of Zulu
Believe me,'tis
Africanism;not voodoo!
And again
A new dawn has
come,
A new beam is
shone
A radiant beam
of inspiration and hope
One to save our
backs from the ropes
From whence the
cock crows
Till when the
sun sinks low
The Sovereignty
that Africa represents
True!That is
AFRICA PRESENTS!
A faith to perceive
and believe
A fate to retrieve
and achieve
A fate of excellence
and eminence
A fate we were
compelled to leave in negligence.
But beware,the
world!
It's a new story
Africa must tell
AFRICA
PRESENTS-
A true brewing
pot for African intelligence
An indelible
vestige of African excellence
A rechannelling
of youthful resilience
Into a desire
of utmost reverence
A dream of brightness
A reality of
greatness!
There always
comes a time
In the affairs
of man
When strength
must be bold
When great men;young
and old
Must stand to
salvage a sinking image
A time when the
burning passion must be more
A time when man must be a standing shield
Never to be sunken
by the oppressive field
That time is
now!
And AFRICA
PRESENTS, that shield
The shield of
resurgence of true Africanism
The shield of
undying patriotism
The shield of
immortal truth
For every African
youth
The shield of
a blissful Africa
AFRICA
PRESENTS,
Truly Africa,you
represent!
'Oh AFRICA
PRESENTS,
God bless the
hearts and minds that brought you forth
God bless the
hands that nurture you into beautiful growth
God bless the
eyes that behold your uniqueness and sovereignty
God bless the
lips that hail your name of Monarchy
God bless the
heart and spirit that believe in your future
God bless you
forever
Truly black,we are
And Africa,we
represent
And truly as
we are,
It's AFRICA
PRESENTS!
