Arise Africa and defend what is left of your ruins.

Beyond the borders may our voices be heard..Not of clapping with the crowd but with the rights of our people. May we be the reason why a brother lived again.. May we never betray our course. May our belly never be our doom. May our sense of reasoning go beyond our quest for wealth. May our patriotism not be hypocritical.. May we develop empathy as human. May we rise to defend our noble cause. May we become the change we want to see.. Not aliens to our peace or bondage to our freedom. Not captives to our advancement or robbers to our peace and wealth..Not hindrances to our own development or pain to ourselves..Not emotionally driven and sentimental to our noble cause but rational and critical to our impeding needs.. Our believes should be seen in our actions and portray of faith.. If we must rise,we must not bound our selves with chains to our own anxiety or limit ourselves by numbering our numbness and inabilities.. We must believe in our abilities and work on our dream..
Together we can rise,but divided we shall fall. We must be bold with our choices.. We must never wallow in our ignorance but develop and broaden our knowledge.. To be great we must learn from the great..We must conceal to build in private. We must tell ourselves the truth.. We must accept we have an enemy and we must shield from their destruction.. We must not oppose the good intentions of our good people. We must be able to build a wall against any rising felony.. We must deal with wrong doings no matter who the offender is..we must protect our land from external invasion and watch our brothers back in solidarity not with eye service.. We must teach our children morals manners,loyalty, fairness.. We must teach our daughter submission, obedience and were the true strength lies in. We must not allow our belly dictate for us..
Arise Africa
