United Africa
When I think of the acres of African colossal cocoa,
I get worried why among continents, we still kowtow.
When I think of African ubiquitous universities
then I question their production of degrees of young societal liabilities.
When I think of the vast uncultivated African lands,
I become ashamed of our leaders constantly stretching begging hands.
When I think of Africa and her bounteous bauxite,
I get lost why poverty continues to blindfold our sight.
When I think of the plethora of African degree holders
then I ask why we have been unable to find the developmental key holders?
I weep when I think of Africa and her countless needy
whose destinies have been thwarted by the political greedy.
When I think of my second nationality, Nigeria and her vast resources
I feel sad that her children continue to kneel under poverty crosses
When I think of mother Ghana, with her natural minerals
I feel sorry her children continue as poor withered petals
am agonized by the human blood wetting her soil.
