I am from by Abdoul


By Abdoul

 

I am from this country within Africa that has the shape of Africa.

I am from where are 16.97 million people in the country.

I am from Burkina Faso  where the flag is green and red with a little yellow star inside.

I am from this country called Country of Beans ,Corn, and Cotton.

I am from the traditional family that we dance the warba ( traditional dance).

I am from this weather hot  ( 90 degree) and lot of rain.

I am from a climate that only has two seasons , summer and spring.

 

I am from love and the love made peace, the peace made a new life and the new life made a better future.

I am from a dictating president Blaise had power and decided who was going to die or live.

I am from this country that the culture has been kept.

I am from this country where the culture created tradition and the tradition created man.

I am from this country where behind him is war in front of him war.

I am from this country where some lazy people decided to become thieves.

I am from where a false answer becomes poison in the food.

I am from the country of Nobert Zongo and Thomas Sangara.

I am from this country who got independence in December of 1960.

 

I am from this family that everyday makes me smile.

I am from this family that the smile became strength and power.

I am from this family that my grandparent were farmers.

I am from work hard and get food to eat. No work, no food.

 

I am from the past that lives in the present and makes the future for my family

I am from this family that my grandparent said ‘’AIDE TOI ET DIEU T’AIDERA’’ ( help your self and God is going to help you)

 

I am from this little family who continues to grow up.

I am from this life that has given me many hard steps that I needed to become a man.

 

I am from this life where the monkey eats banana , the lion eats deer , the eagle eats mouse.

I am from this family called Zoure and from a grandma the most famous traditional singer of our village, from the love of Alid ( dad ), and Hortense (mom).

I say thank you to God to make my life better, with a beautiful country and big and happy family.

I am from this country where the pledge is Integrity, Development and Justice.

Never forget where you are from.
