Words, <br />Out of Africa; <br />Love, <br />Out of Africa; <br />Muse, <br />Out of Africa; <br />Works, <br />Out of Africa; <br />Hope, <br />Out of Africa; <br />Colours, <br />Out of Africa; <br />And, to speak in other languages, <br />But, what does the ways of the African people mean to you? <br /> <br />The muse of life and the muse of Africa! <br />To write in other languages, <br />To read in other languages, <br />Like your new wine presented to your lover; <br />Carried out to settle the ways of peace. <br /> <br />Peace and unity! <br />Played, pay, lay, lad, lead, pad, led, deal, peal, pale, ale; <br />With the muse of life and the ways of the African people, <br />As one walks across the continent. <br />Life, live! <br />With the muse of the sunflower; <br />Chill, hill! <br />With the colours of African people; <br />Greeting each other with a smiling face.<br /><br />Edward Kofi Louis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/out-of-africa-6/
