Long ago, Africa was christened the'dark continent' <br />until the Nile was seen by the very fortunate <br />Later, it became the shelter of the pearl <br />and today, it's where winds of change hurl <br />So, the call is on to paint Africa <br /> <br />Running through deserts and shores <br />To catch the fading twilight <br />Sailing the nile as it pours <br />To watch as the natives fight <br />That is the call to paint Africa <br /> <br />Let it be the heavenly angels <br />To sweep the dirt filled streets <br />Purity and prosperity in all angles <br />As the nations feast on sweets <br />For that it takes to paint Africa <br /> <br />Color the lonely paths <br />Let the noise of life be heard <br />Bandage the nation’s ailing parts <br />And again give the land a healing card <br />And that is the call to paint Africa<br /><br />Timothy muggaga<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/painting-africa/
