a millennia ago

I was born in Africa

the mother continent

of the human race

childish we were

we fled our homeland

the mother continent

of the human race

jealous of my parents

I plundered their house

the mother continent

of the human race

centuries later

I realized my mistake

and danced at the reunion

a celebration of the human race

the nation was born

Earth glistens now

glistens freely

on the lunar horizon

with amazing grace
