by Augustine Nwaka, poet-contributor, Muse Apprentice Guild, California

Africa, Africa
The world of the black race
The world of inspired Africans
The world of enormous beauties
The world of giant heroes…
Is now a world of possibilities
The home of tourism
We live in Africa
Africa, our Africa
Africa of all Africans
Is a world of aesthetics!

Africa in Africa
Riches endowed in Africa
Africa's landscape is a unique beauty
Its unique cultures
Its unique peoples
And historical relics
Are unimaginable beauties
To the Western world.

The aesthetics of Africa
Is charming, calling suitors' woos
Africa…
Big powers are wooing Africa

Africa is full of vigour
As vigourous as…
African leaders of virtues
Are rebuilding Africa
One love, one unity
Their slogan reads
Can the world exist without Africa?
I do not know…

Shun likely wars, O Africa!
Be guided by Precious Patriotism, O Africa!
Reinstate peace in the war zones
In Africa, O Africa!
Ride on, O Africa!
