They call it the Dark Continent <br /> <br />And with pride it smiles <br /> <br />Relishing the fragrance of the compliment <br /> <br />And swimming in the ocean of its own style. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />A continent of people with intellect <br /> <br />Dynamic people with strong will power <br /> <br />Whose touch on many life’s reflects <br /> <br />The gratitude of its effect forever. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Where are the developed nations? <br /> <br />Without the dark torch-bearers <br /> <br />Whose skills leave the world in admiration <br /> <br />And give nations the nickname, ’ super powers’. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Oh! Africa, do smile <br /> <br />Cos the power of Africans this poem illustrates <br /> <br />For It is indeed worthwhile <br /> <br />To be labeled the darkness that illuminates.<br /><br />muideen olawale jimoh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/darkness-that-illuminates/
