AFRICA MUST LEARN HOW TO FISH
Oh mama Africa!
When shall you wake up from your slumbers?
The other parts of the world are recording growth in large numbers,
Yet you still remain stagnant and observing in wonders,
Thinking that you can't move without the aid of the outsiders.
You have many blessings,
Amongst which are your arable lands and fresh waters.
How about your young and vibrant youths,
Coupled with the prestigious minerals buried in your lands?
But with all these, you still linger behind,
And you are still struggling to find,
The road that leads to the promised land.
Oh Mama Africa! learn how to fish your fish,
And stop relying on the selfish
Powers whose wish is for Africans to languish
In the plight of poverty and anguish.
Because that's necessary for their economies to flourish.
Oh Africa! learn how to fish,
For it's crucial to establish industries,
That'll create a lot of job opportunities,
To make young people see the realities,
Behind all the many unseen possibilities
To make life better for themselves in their countries.
Mama Africa!
The value of your resources should stay
To make "made in Africa" the triumph of the day
So that your resources have the right pay
For poverty to be driven away.
So, learn how to fish,
Like the way others manage to establish
Their robust economies that nourish
You with the fish fished in your waters.
Stop begging and fish your own fish.
Stop it if you want to flourish.
Make the bold step to minimise your overdependence.
We move forward!
