Untangle Africa's Chains, Playing My Part.

Africa, the firstborn of God,
It's true that life began with you,
That's why green can never depart from you,
And then it spread to other continents,
Because you're a mother with contagious positivity.

Your global relevance is forever.

Africa, the cradle of creativity,
From the dry Sahara to the swampy Niger Delta,
From ancient times to Gen-Z,
You own the only remaining ancient world wonder,
The Great Pyramid of Giza.

Your landmarks are eternal.

Africa, a nature-classified diagnosis,
With water, vegetation, and desert,
You are a mother of preservation,
Even your music depicts nature's waves,
And it captivates and motivates.

Your connections are unbroken.

Africa, the arena of wonders,
Your people are unimaginably talented,
Embedded with talent and creativity,
They create wonders even in the spiritual realm.
My pride lies in you.

Your success is the only option.

Africa, my fatherland,
Though civilization may try to destroy you,
And turn your bones into machines,
We will resist with unyielding energy,
And choose to build our continent,
Enhancing our culture with innovation and technology.

God is with us.
