Effervescent Africa
Effervescent Africa
The land of the Pharaohs and the mighty river Nile
Africa stretches across more than ten million squares mile.
It is the second largest continent
And is a land of joy and contentment.
Bounded on all sides by seas and oceans
A trip down here works like a magical potion.
The wondrous safaris and nature at its scenic best
To visit them all is the travellers’ quest
Home to the picturesque Victorian falls and the great Sahara desert
And yet could not the wrath of the selfish Europeans it avert.
They said they came here for trade but made many a colony
Brazen and shameless they were even on committing such a fe
lony.
Slave trade and apartheid were at their rampant worst
Now was the time when the bubble of patience of the Africans burst.
They realised to salvage their lost honour and glory
They had to send the Europeans back home and finish their story.
They emerged victorious when they raised their voice
And soon they had enough reason to celebrate and rejoice.
Today there are 54 beautiful countries in this continent so vast
The landscapes, beauty and history of which are unsurpassed.
African countries and India nurture awesome bonds of friendship
And together they act with solidarity and workmanship.
