Mama Africa! Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother’s day [to Mother Africa]

Mama Africa
Motherland of all human civilizations
Greatness!
Greatness!
Greatness! Is to your cradle
Mother Africa,
It was on your cradle that witnesses the arrival of the Earth’s first dwellers.
Mama Africa, your mystic holds all human civilization intact
Mother Africa
When Ashanti rise and establish their civilization, you stood firm to see them through
Mama Africa!
When Eri rise to establish the house of Igbo, you stood firm to see them through.
Mama Africa
When Edo civilization rise and establish the house of Ubini, you see them through thereafter too
Mama Africa
When the Maasai rises and establish the house of Enkare Nyorobi, you stood firm undaunted still.
Mama Africa
When the cornerstone of house of Ethiopia, was laid, and the superior beings laid the first cornerstones of the house of Pharaohnekhan you stood firm indefinable still.
When Oduduwa rise and establish the cradle of Ile-Ife; you stood firm indefinable still.
Mama Africa
Greatness!
Greatness!
Greatness is to your name.
The green, the ocean, the terrains, your indefinable beauty are too great not to be mentioned
It was on your river banks, where the first earth dwellers formatted Adayimo and Efasokan.
The course of history has been altered; we’ll try to correct history soon come.
Mama Africa, you begot minerals that enrich human civilization.
You invent all music that sooths human souls
Mama Africa, you are the homeland to all human civilization.
I adore you Mama Africa
Civilization you begot rise and victimized your cradle, but you rebound undaunted still.
Historians rise and diminish your integrity, you stood firm indefinable still
Mother Africa!
On behalf of all human races which you begot;
We wish you a Happy Mother’s day.

A Social Reformer's point of view

Ordinary Citizens

Ordinary Citizens! Thank you again
Ordinary Citizens! Again thank you!
And thank you again, ordinary citizens
Ordinary Citizen! Thank you again for your courage
Ordinary Citizens! You are getting the job done
Ordinary Citizen! You are doing it straight from the hearts; and that's what really makes the difference.
Ordinary Citizens! You have no access to a direct feed from satellites to an air-conditioned office.
Ordinary Citizen! You don't go cruising around in fancy SUV, nor have an access to night vision surveillance devices, yet you get the job done.
Ordinary Citizen! You have no budget of several millions of dollars, yet your commitment to protect the homeland is unwavering.
Ordinary Citizens! I salute you with great honors.
Ordinary Citizen! You are doing the job of "non-ordinary citizens" and you are doing so without a fat paycheck, and yet nobody escapes your sight, as you did not fell asleep in front of that monitoring screen.
Ordinary Citizens! I salute you for a job well done.
Ordinary Citizens! You are my hero.
Ordinary Citizens! feel free to criticize, exercise your freedom of speech. Once upon a time I was told that if one lean against a tree, and such could not sustain your weight, if such fell upon you, could never do you any harm.
Thank you ordinary citizen! You are my hero, and I guess that you are not "ordinary" after all.
