Show Me My Africa! Comments

Show me My Africa is a great expression of love and pride of one's homeland. The Atlantic Slave Trade took that away from our ancestors, our identity, culture, skills and community. Yet, today we African American are the survivors longing to reconnect to our native land. I thank God for allowing me to visit Ghana and received the greatest AKWAABA (Welcome) home of my life. In the words of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah,1957, " Forward Forever, Backward Never.

Beautiful poem, I Love Africa.... You what Siya, someday I am going to come to Africa... Since my childhood I have wished this... the place where people are simple, live peacefully, happily, helping each other... the animals so lovely, living with people... no harm just their charms... where love is in the air... I loved your poem.. its innocent Africa :)

Absolutely GORGEOUS! May your desires come true. Thank you for sharing. The world is a better place with you in it!

good work! when i was very young I have read so many African folk tales from children's magazines. But when I get older I wonder that where that culture, peace, nature's beauty gone! this poem is an answer for that! really great work! great spirit behind this work! keep it up! God Bless You! ! ! ! ! !

Thank you so much guys for beautiful comments, i always value them high.God bless you all.

the hymn of humanity... and a deep sense of beauty!

I am African but a pale skin one! This is a beautiful poem. How I wish that more people felt like this...how wonderful S.A. would be. Today I am what they call a 'gogo' and I can remember when as a child there was this land you wrote about. How I miss it. How I wish my children can experience the Africa I used to grow up in and you write about. May more of your generation...meaning age... feel like this. Where you and my grandson can become African...black and white. God bless you!

Kwathi ukuqalwa kokulityalwa kweengcambu sanoboka isizwe, Kwathi ukulityalwa kwezithethe laxhaphazeka ilizwe, Kwathi ukudelelwa kwamasiko wonakala umzi omkhulu, Kwathi xa abantu bephehlelelwa yinzondo baphela ubuntu ebantwini, 'Where there is no vision, people perish' 'And to everything there always will be a season' Hopefully this will pass away, One day the land will redeem itself, as those living in it have pretty much failed along the years, their efforts were more than enough to make a difference but not good enough to bring back the havenly Africa. Bravo! Bravo!

Live long with glory Africa... :) I am not African but we love all and everywhere right? Love people to have victory has no limit...Go Africa and Go Siyabonga, Jacqui...Go stand for your countries...The beautiful landscape, the strong people, , let rise again..and for everyone just stand as you and love them too...Siyabonga, this is your role to be a leader for your community..I wish only the best, dont stop your voice to make it high..fight for your people, fight for your country and fight for everyone...we need the strong voice to wake up :) ..Keep it strong Siyabonga! ! ! ! ! ! ! _Unwritten Soul
