Africa Mother Of Mankind Poem by Ojeikpo Elijah

Africa, mother of mankind divine,
Your terrains stretch far and wide, vast and grand,
From your towering mountains to blue shorelines,
You hold the world within your mighty hand.

Your sun-kissed skin is rich with tales untold,
Of ancient civilizations and tribes,
Your heartbeat echoes in the drumbeats bold,
As your children dance to their ancestral vibes.

Amidst your savannahs, wild and untamed,
Lies the cradle of humanity's birth,
Where our roots and origins are proclaimed,
And our story on this earth has its worth.

Your rivers flow, your deserts breathe life,
Your forests whisper secrets of the past,
Your beauty and strength, a never-ending strife,
In you, our existence forever lasts.

Oh Africa, our mother, strong and true,
We owe our very being all to you.

In realms where tales of grandeur unfurl,
Africa stands, the mother of our world,
A garden of Eden, where life's wonders bloom,
A kingdom in the sky, where dreams find room.

Kings and queens are raised, their lineage proud,
In this sacred land, where ancient stories resound,
Africa, undisputed, the cradle of life,
Where civilizations thrived, amidst nature's strife.

From the golden savannahs to the azure shores,
Africa's beauty captivates, forevermore,
Majestic mountains rise, their peaks touch the sky,
While rivers flow freely, nourishing lands that lie.

Oh, Africa, your spirit soars high,
A tapestry of cultures, beneath the vast sky,
Your people resilient, with hearts full of pride,
In your embrace, unity and strength abide.

Through trials and tribulations, you've endured,
Your spirit unyielding, your essence secured,
Africa, mother of mankind, your legacy grand,
A beacon of hope, across this wide land.

So let us celebrate, this glorious day,
Africa's greatness, in every way,
For you are the source, from which we all came,
Africa, our mother, forever we acclaim.
