From the very core of my being, to the very last strand of my mane I am African
Yes, from Africa Not the Africa of starving children Certainly not the Africa of women deprived of voting rights nor the adoption hub of the rich and famous that is your Africa, not ours.
Our Africa yes, our Africa Is a developing child, constantly, incessantly ridiculed, reminded of its inability to walk, but see how it crawls towards the mark, feel the steady beat of its hurting heart, Isn't that a sign of vitality? Isn't that the very beat that keeps mother earth alive?
Yes I am African from Africa The Africa the world wont tell you about The Africa that sheds a tear everyday and says; " dearworld, seemeforwhoiam, no, notthroughthelensofamisguidedcamera, seemethroughthelens.. ofatelescope"
