Africa you gave me dignity
I was once a young boy
Who used to not know that the future is bright
Because I was busy playing in the dirt
Africa you gave me dignity to realise
That I have the ability and a skill to be what I am
A poet
I grew up not knowing what to do
So I decided to make poetry my dude; the friend in need
Africa, thanks for giving me the opportunity
To show people what I can write
Africa you gave me the dignity to write what is inside my heart
Africa you gave me the dignity because today here I am
I’m a poet
