THE GREAT MAMA AFRICA@60

THE GREAT MAMA AFRICA @60 Mama Africa flashes white across greens Sweep it on her marshes and swamps Smear it through forests and savannahs Small paradise a piece she choose to offer But as struggling mother as she Heaves to curb the bad seedings Implants on her God's own blessed land Up she would raise again to great heights An ailing mother cut open and healing fine With her past anger and cries of anguish Seeing her great failure as a nation Sabotage in slavery and empire conquest She's celebrating her bitter sweet history Her great host of chieftaincy way back And gallant army of warrior solders Risking their neck in order to free her She's through wiping off tears in the height of libertine With seeping minerals oil and gas floating her land Feeds her crops enrich soil on hard labour Her bounty economy brought her heaven Glamorous is she on her cultural heritage Embroider corals bronzes and ivories And festivities dangling her name Uplift she is to ethereal genuine Arise o her compatriots Adorn unity floating through River Niger to Benue and Delta And minds running with intellect Let Hausa's blow our mind with Algaita Sail us away to Igbo's Ogene sounds As we wriggle dance to Yoruba Showoro ide Synthesizing unity and freedom @60 ©Nature Boy
