Anne olunca dünya
Çocuðun balonunda
Elde bir naylon sicim
Anne hep uçurtmada
Çocuk büyüdü mü güneþ
Hep annenin gözlerinde
Elde bir eski þemsiye
Çocuk hep izlenmede
Sus düþer senelere
Çocuk hep ayný çocuk
Sonsuza dek korunmalýk
Annenin fedakâr yüreðinde…

Africa, My Africa
By Ola Joseph Kolawole
Back in the years of the b.c.
When I was but a spirit in the heavenlies
Spying over the happenings on this miraculous planet,
I majored on the study of continents…
I had special interest in this spectacular one
Traced back to Cush, a man of colour
Blessed by Eledua – the Creator of creation
Obviously vast, leading her equals
Her land expanded by the hours –
They called it Ethiopia and the Egyptian empire
She was first in making wonderful inventions
And not lagging behind in linguistics and education
Her map became a riddle for the WISE:
Looking at the map from the west,
I see a gun.
Firing out intellects and academics
Imparting the whole wide world with wisdom.
Looking from the east,
I see a big foot,
Walking around the world
Preaching her precious cultural heritages
Looking from the north,
I see a big Yam,
Everybody comes to take a bite
>From this yam that gives a taste of divinity
Looking from the south,
I see a big steady rock
Many come to it for shelter –
Others, to mine from her treasurable resources.
Now, here is the riddle for the WISE –
Shall we pull the trigger of the gun with our foot…
And fire out a bullet of yam to the rock…
Selah!
