I am an African

I am an African

A Poem by Poppie Mira
"

I am a proudly South African citizen!

"

I am an African

I was born in Africa

Suckled mother Africa breast

I am beauty Africa

 

I stand under blue skies

Over drastic mountains

To behold vibrant countries

And feel at home

 

I bow down to salute heroes

Died on struggle

Striving Africa liberation

Development and capacity

 

Hail Africa

You are our mother

Feeding us with prosperity

Anointing us with acceptance

 

Africa is my mother

She will never fade

Gloom or cease

I am an African
