Africa . . .. Ooh Africa ,when shall we come out of darkness ? Whe shall we stop being captivities in the dungeons ? Till when shall we not see the bright rays of the sun ?? . . . Oh Africa
The sun. . . .the sun to us has become a common fairy tale,the sun has turned out to be a golden mystery, similar to as asking ourselves, when the second coming of Jesus become a reality !!
Tracing back our minds before night fell over us ,we get a to glab alot of undeciphered things. Our forefathers, thought poor they were but with the little minds they posses,they did their best to make sure that the current generation would suffer not like them,and yes,to some degree that dream was achieved.
But then, days went on, minutes crushed each other and then during the day, a visitor showed up !! " Africa ,mother of all beauties and adventures !" That's what he considered us to be.With heads up high in the sky but their minds thinking as deep as the abyss below, they finally realised Africa to be a glorious honey_pot for their own benefits.
They looked down onto us with foxes' smile ,and we were very kind but also foolish enough to smear aromatic cosmetics to horn their faces sparkle with glittering visage, not knowing that we were making ours scarier and uglier.But when we realised whatever was happening,it was too late. . . .the dark was just around the corner.
Our marvelous fathes still breathing came out in panic "Africa . . .. Oh Africa where's the light ? Where's the dark coming from ? Who took the light my sons and daughters ? ". . . . But there was no response to their cry, instead the dark engulfed them mercilessly. And when that happened, our father wept,for they were afraid of the dark. As a result,one at a time, one after another. . .. fell asleep,until they were only few remaining, few who still awaited for the sun to rise once again.
The rest of us in astonishment remained awake admist the night. We left our residences and gathered like a plague of locusts in the field to watch and admire the sparkling stars and wonders at the shooting stars as we were very eager to make wishes. "I wish. . . . I wish ",wishes that would never come true , Why ? Because we had permited mice and snakes to get into our houses and consumed everything their system could digest.
The sun my brothers and sisters,is still a dream unless we smite away all the mice an,snakes,owls and bats who have become our companions (bedmates) in the beds we sleep. The mice and owls might be ourselves in the masks of corruption, egoism,nepotism,ignorance and lack of consciousness in our inner hearts.
Let's not just stare at the stars without even having a slightest urge to make our own night here. The time is now, to look back and get all the mice and snakes from our houses.And once we have done that, let's unite our hearts in LOVE,UNITY ,CONSCIOUS and ACUTE DETERMINATION.it's time we say goodbye to the white person who has brought us nothing but poverty, diseases and all weakness. Remember, the mice may be even our own people, some of our own superiors who prove irresponsible ,demanding for more than what is needed, doing their best in twisting the nations constitution, pillars and even using our brothers and sisters clear off their sins. We could bring all these wars, conflicts,hurtings, sorrow and pain to a halt, if we stand together as one to shout and say no to corruption, racismandfight neo_colonialism as angry bulls.
With all these deep in our heart, then in God's holy name we shall shake off the heavy blankets on us,step out of the horrible beds and open up the doors after a long night to listen to the down chorus, to greet the precious and warm sun. . . . and finally say to each other. ... .
" Good morning Africa ,Good morning everyone. . . . . "
