My Africa: Scarred, but Perfect

Scarred, but Perfect.

Centered in the core of my spirit.

Founded on the labor of great blood and undried tears.

Built upon crude, dark soil, yet deep, rich and flourishing

Broken to make her mediocre

Deceived, to steal her profound culture

Overthrown to make her inferior

Exploited, to steal her unique esteem

And, my Africa is still enduring...

Entrenched in her sincere culture,

Established in deep wisdom,

Exceptional in every way.

Endearing in every step.

My Africa, ancient, yet modern

My Africa, old, yet youthful

My Africa, scarred, yet perfect

My Africa.....
