Africa

The land of extremes

The oldest civilizations sprang from Africa

Yet you are struggling to find your feet

The deepest lakes

Yet people are facing drought

Snow-capped mountains near the equator

Dwindle to sand

Tribal traditions in a never ending struggle

With Western revisions

Visitors welcomed

So often wishing to be conquerors

A constant struggle

Between old ways and new ways

In man and nature

But one thing is certain

Africa wins

Your heart

Your mind

Your soul
