Am an African boy, <br />Where culture is like water <br />Drunk by every human being. <br />Where judgment is like a mirror, <br />Showing People as they are. <br />The place where beauty is like <br />A pride that is priceless. <br /> <br />Am African boy, <br />Where the youth serve <br />Their fathers'-land as the second skin. <br />The place where a child <br />Is a doppleganger of his father. <br />Am an African boy, <br />Where the doomsayer are dying <br />And soothsayer are on their toes. <br />Am an African boy, <br />Where strength and boldness is like <br />Stone in the ocean. <br />Where wealth and health is like <br />The sand of the beach. <br />Am an African boy, <br />The place where work has become <br />The blood and veins. <br />Am proud to be an African. <br />Oh! <br />I love Africa.<br /><br />Ejalonibu Abraham<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/am-an-african-boy/
