My African Monologue (MAM)
Sheku S. Kamara (MrGeniusOfficial1)
INTRO: In the wake of the adversities, the people suffer and cry for thy intervention oh ye greatest of all. This is My African Monologue!
PART 1:
It was March and I'd finished watching the match between Man United 2:0 Man City
Filled with so much optimism that finally Liverpoolwill lift the Premier League. I was excited with the thought that my mum willhave a big smile and a big win over my dad who supports the same team as myselfManchester United. The excitement lasted a short while, then Boom,came Coronavirus. You all know the story afterwards!
PART 2:
State of Emergency upon State of Emergencies!
Our whole life came to a standstill. Education, entertainment, lifestyle, family bonding... you name it, and it has been ever since.
COVID-19 became the newsletters and daily broadcasts. It practically turned into the most popular figure the world had come to know in centuries.
What else?
PART 3:
It started off with one and the numbers had never stopped.
It has ravaged our cities and crippled our economies. Society has become a slave to the Pandemic. Social life halted, spiritual activities sanctioned from major worship centres, even the living is scared to bury the dead. A child restrained from reaching to his or her mother's nest. Relationships cautioned and seems like a knife has been put between the things that held us together, and again I remember Chinua Achebe's "Things Fall Apart", the world seems to be falling.
Can the love that binds us together, keep us from falling? You never know!
PART 4:
Great irokos are falling! Great irokos are standing!
As many falls to the hands of Coronavirus, so much more are rising and defeating the rebel, overcoming the fear that it brings. As one thousand fall on the left side, so does tens of thousands rising on the right side, slowly we are overcoming. The enemy is always afraid of a united family, but a family that stays divided, becomes an easy prey for the enemy to devour. There are hundreds of ways we could defeat the enemy but there is a single too that the enemy could use to destroy us and it is powerful.
Greed!
I speak to mother Africa, why is thou forsaken us?
I speak to our leaders, why at thou betraying us?
PART 5:
What is Silver or Gold over your people?
I remember the promises of my mother, the perseverance of my father. I realise that whether I ask or not, they know it is their duty to fend for me and protect me.
Our leaders are forgetting their duties to the land. We are your children mother and father beloved President; we have put our trusts in God and accepts you as the chosen. If not for man that thou may betray, but for thy God who hath putting thou in charge of thy cattle, be thou a good shepherd and lead thy people righteously, I beseech thee!
What is the future ofAfrica? Watch out!
