I Am AFRICA

I am the colours of the vibrant fabric that weave our tribes together
I am the music that makes us want to dance, the drum that gives us rhythm
I am the sports fan who stands by you
Proudly singing our national anthem
I am the click in every language
I am the nickname and the humour that slides off our tongues
I am the aroma from red hot coals, burning meat and sweet taste of fruit
I am the vines from our vineyards and the fresh water from our streams
I am the rolling sea and the giant mountain range that shields us from the winds
I am a free bird, soaring in the thermal, gazing upon wild savanna
I am the rich soil, the floral landscape and the raw gold beneath our earth
I am our heritage, our history that helps us see how far we’ve come
I am the imperfections in our society that helps us realize we can do better
I am the handshake, the kiss, the hug, that embraces our diversity
I am Kenya
