Today, May 25,2021 is Africa day and Nollywood Film maker and Writer Lilian Emehelu has penned down an emotional poem to mark the day....
MESSAGE FOR AFRICA
Got a message for Africa
My love and my heart
Nurtured from your very breast
The only hope that drives your
army.
Though you are so very true
And I will always look up to you
For you are my portion to be
My dream for you the greatest
queen to be
Is for your land to be ever green
Generation to generation.
For we only think of today
Forgetting that tomorrow
Will 'morrow become today
And today yesterday.....
Your own turned to predators
Eating up your very best fruits
Turning on one another
Then spoiling, destroying your
legacy
Though you were born so very
rich
But these questions keep
running through my mind
Will your life still be unveiled
Will your land still be fertile
Will your milk will still be
sustained
Till the oracle is accomplished
For we only think of today
Forgetting that tomorrow
Will 'morrow become today
And today yesterday
