I am not from the land of the dark ages
A continent deemed as pitiful by society
I am not an animal
A human being regarded as nothing but labor
I am from the land of wonder,beauty, soul, culture and oh so much more
A continent though deemed worthless is flourishing and rich
A continent with all it's might battling toils and obstacles
A continent underrated and underappreciated
A continent filled with diverse cultures, religion,races,humans,thoughts,wildlife,scenery, nature,education and many more
A continent home to many heroes
A female and male land in which though struggles exist,
The royalty of both genders is strongly fought for
A continent that refers to its countries as "SHE"
A continent that harbors matrilineal and patrilineal thrones
A continent struck with disaster that still manages to smile and dance the pain away
I am not from a far away continent of darkness and despair
I am from a continent that has so much to offer, a beautiful land flowing with honey and chocolate, caramel and even vanilla, a land that bears diversity, a tree whose fruits are ripe in culture and love. A land decorated with belief,hope,dreams and most of all LOVE and PERSEVERANCE.
I am from AFRICA
-Chapter song; Africa by Yemi Alade.
