Africa, once again is transforming into a king<\/p>\n
Linking,<\/p>\n
Bridging and reaching to unite as one motherland!<\/p>\n
Embracing and lacing through cleave of nations,<\/p>\n
Moving from collision to coalition.<\/p>\n
Golden chains of economic cooperation that adorn the neck –<\/p>\n
Thinking –<\/p>\n
A crown of dazzling precious stones<\/p>\n
Adorn the head and stirs the blood in the brain.<\/p>\n
Creative thoughts are ablaze like crackling fireworks,<\/p>\n
Shooting upwards with strategic zest and zeal<\/p>\n
Signaling kingly feats.<\/p>\n
Drinking,<\/p>\n
Gulping down sweet wines of knowledge and education<\/p>\n
Refreshing liquids of intellectual realization<\/p>\n
Greatly priced and intricately styled<\/p>\n
Prints of human capital<\/p>\n
Rich gold bouquets of culture and empowerment<\/p>\n
Quilts of liberalization and freedom<\/p>\n
Milking<\/p>\n
The belly of resources split open<\/p>\n
To spill out the innates of prosperity<\/p>\n
Gold, silver, diamonds, wood, ivory and precious stones<\/p>\n
Carved intricately into vanity cases full of perks that surround the cities<\/p>\n
Blinking<\/p>\n
Away the tear drops that blind the vision<\/p>\n
Eagle eyesights watchful over courts and parliaments<\/p>\n
Eyes like colored glass-beads feast on order<\/p>\n
A resplendent image of a million twinkling stars<\/p>\n
Organized, prioritized, synchronized<\/p>\n
Sinking<\/p>\n
Dredging the stinking oasis of corrupt practices and wrong values<\/p>\n
Siphoning the huge infected cloistered water bodies<\/p>\n
Destroying the sandbars of barren deserts of extortions<\/p>\n
Creating a timeless and enduring allure of a welcoming land<\/p>\n
Winking<\/p>\n
We did it! \u00a0Great dynasty of lucrative offers, studied elegance, colorful mosaic<\/p>\n
Of festivals, fairs and feasts<\/p>\n
Joyous pageantry of celebration, exuberance and fanfare<\/p>\n
King again, oh Africa!<\/p>\n
King again, oh Africa!<\/p>\n
