Turning Africa’s Horn to its arm

 

A gigantic dam is born

In the backwater Africa’s horn

For long that was war-torn.

 

A grand dam is born

In the avenue of

Affluence, steps, pushing,

The shunned Africans ahead

To penetrate the global market

Hot red,  β€œThe only we!”

For long that fed.

 

Of course, GERD heralded

Equitable utilization of resource

On hypocrites debarring a chance

If you want to continue
Our client
Remember you're macilent
So  try not to be violent
Fighting back  with" Though
I'm poor I 'm somebody!"
'Cause,snobbish, we may ...

FRIENDSHIP

 

 

 

Some Friends are necessary for life. 
As the air.  As the water and food
Those friends, help us, to survive 
In our hearts running, same as blood 

 

They offer faithful trusted advice
And always keep the shining smile
Show satisfaction pureily, so nice
Have bounties tool, deeply as Nile

 

They never get argument to complain
They ever look for the cheerful talk to ...
