Love Poem: Ode To Africa

Ode To Africa

Oh, Africa , the roots of all the races,  
The truth is buried and lies shine all over.
Oh! Africa, strong old house filling young  women and men. 
"Look ! looking too old but more active."

Oh ! Africa , being portrayed bad on some  media , did not stop you to shine, shining  bright like a diamond. 
Oh! Africa, miraculous land  admired by millions  of world people. 

Praise be the God " Thatha Leeza"  Who created you so beautiful , oh ! Africa. 
O' Africa with many  caves , mounts, lakes , rivers ,  gardens , waterfalls, forests and popular Islands. 

Oh! Africa, resisted thousands  of 
challenges, many wars, disasters , diseases. "Rise up , rising Africa , continue to shine , shining  like rubies." 

Oh , Africa, remind those stood up to destroy you, 
Speak loud to  the new hypocrites who are coming to destroy you, O Africa. 
" Whoever digs a pit may fall into it , whoever breaks through a wall may be bitten by a snake." 

How pleasing you are , 
O Africa, with your delights! 
Blessed is you , O Africa.
Praise be the God who created You beautifully , Oh! Africa.
