      Africa my Africa
      Africa of proud warriors in ancestral savannahs
      Africa of whom my grandmother sings
      On the banks of the distant river
      I have never known you
      But your blood flows in my veins
      Your beautiful black blood that irrigates the fields
      The blood of your sweat
      The sweat of your work
      The work of your slavery
      Africa, tell me, Africa
      Is this your back that is unbent
      This back that never breaks under the weight of humiliation
      This back trembling with red scars
      And saying no to the whip under the midday sun
      But a grave voice answers me
      Impetuous child that tree, young and strong
      That tree over there
      Splendidly alone amidst white and faded flowers
      That is your Africa springing up anew
      springing up patiently, obstinately
      Whose fruit bit by bit acquires
      The bitter taste of liberty.
      THE AFRICA I KNOW IS NOT SHITHOLE. #blackandproud#withoutAfricatherecannotbeamerica
