Prayer Of An African Child Poem by Chikondi Daniel Dziko

Oh mother
They have forgotten about us
They have forgotten about our future
They have forgotten it is our land too
We pray remind them

Oh mother
Remind them how beautiful your are
Remind them how stunning your land was
Remind them that your culture was marvelous
That it is our Eden

Oh mother
As they pray remind them, this land
Was what we called home
This land was our everything
How we loved it so much

Oh mother
As they pray remind them
The future was us
As they pray remind them
This was our prayer

Oh mother, as they pray
Remind the prayer of an African child

Amen
