A voyage to Africa

I come from a place where excellence is the expectation.

A place where your parents will look upside down to pay your next school fee.

My Homeland is more than the huts these tvs display and the hungry children they portray.

It is a land flowing of milk and honey.

Encrusted with jewels of value untold.

Marvel at its creatures, great and small.

Feel the warmth

Let the love of Africa submerge your soul.

Now if you leave,

you’ll always

yearn,

you’ll always

have that longing

to return.
