To Africa, With Love

I miss you

I want to come back

I want to feel your warmth

and taste the earth that born-ed me

 

I am clinging steadfastly

to the memories of my motherland

although the West is slowly erasing

the sounds of beating drums

of nighttime folklores

 

As I sip my Ovaltine and Milo

the refined and redesigned cocoa creates

a nostalgic flow through my cocoa-coloured body

 

I am patiently waiting

for the moment we become one,

again

oh Africa, I miss you

I want to come back

 

 

To Africa, with love
