SMILE FOR ME AFRICA

SMILE FOR ME AFRICA

Born and bred in this land so expanse,
Through the hardships and bliss I grew,
But never have I thought so good another place,
So smile for me Africa; you are my motherland.

Those in the oblivion call you the dark continent,
Tell them how scorching sun we experience daily,
And do not forget about the fierce fireflies at night,

Just smile for me Africa; they are missing out.

All kinds of wildlife roaming everywhere,
Waterfalls and the magical wild beast migration.
And have I mentioned our culture of compassion?
Just smile for me Africa you are definitely divine.

Look at that towering monument from afar,
A symbol of peace and epitome of forgiveness
that is our son Nelson Mandela, an enigma of unity.
Just smile for me Africa; do we need to say more?

WORRY NOT

WORRY NOT

Just believe and keep holding on,
The sun is soon rising on the horizon.
Soon it will be morning once again
That we rise to leave a mark on this nation.

Even though troubles maybe our bedmate;
That makes you wonder if u were a mistake,
To be born in a world of such a stalemate;
Where u give your all but still stagnate.

Never entertain the temptation to cry,
There is no shame of failing when you try,
Keep trying soon you will be home and dry,
There is a breakthrough ahead wallai billai.

Now I envy the smile of triumph in your face,
No words can describe it with enough finesse.
I told you that you will make it in this race,
Now where are those who thought you had no chance?

If you believe and tend to your belief,

Your ways will be subtle and full of relief.

No need to grieve, you only need to believe

Now go and lift anyone out there in grave grief

Tell them they will make it only if they believe.
