Unite Africa

Ignore no more this phrase
It is our only hope for salvation
Practice what we preach
And Africa will be like a city of angels

“Unite Africa! ”

Prophets of the past cried.
Some sang – some proclaimed
Why ignoring the song of a nightingale
When its mission is to create melody

Unite Africa!

Unite brothers and sisters
Nature is ours – heaven is near
We have same feathers
Yet we don’t flock together

A Poem For Sarah

A sweet song passed through process
And this time is especially for you.
While listening to an old lyric
Life comforts me and makes me whole.

Inside you is a paradise of chocolate
And I wish I could live there forever.
Your nails are shining like a crystal;
You are like a dove in the midst of peahen

I held your hands and felt the gentleness;
I kissed your lips and begged for more.
As wise as a tortoise - as nice as a deer
As beautiful as an angel and as lovely as a Crane

You‘re sweet, sweeter than ice cream
You are more expensive than those treasures.
I stared at your eyes and sang along...
Please one more kiss before you say goodbye

Hoping it wouldn't last forever
And this thought makes me cry

Is heaven's treasure here to stay?
Is it trying to make me happy?
Now I hear sweet voices from heaven singing
'Jingle bell jingle bell'
And truly this song makes me cry

This time last year we were together
Singing these songs that made me glad
