here
the mother city
of golden rays
and a thousand bays
there
the mother land
of spluttering rills
and a thousand hills
two beautiful landscapes
framed side by side
inside the heart of a stranded pigeon
fully in love with Africa

Let me tel u 1 of ma poem. {My own original poem} I am an african gal, i am a dreamer,i can turn my dreamz in2 a reality i wil climb high lyk a fire man in his pole 2 free my voice and be heard,i wil shine like a (*) 4 my nation and strive 2 reach my success,in the morning as the sun rises and as it seats 4 the evening i wil recognise.i am not who i was then,i am not who i wanna be days 2 follow,but i have knowledge and power 2 decide about my life,future and often ask my self questions, which way do i wanna lead? Do i wanna be the victim in my own world? Live in poverty from my birth 2 death? Oh no i dont decide all those leads, i can change my self and be a better person, by me i can and i will!!!
