Benevolence of a Victim (Ghana)

Benevolence of a Victim

Razed down by forces of darkness
She aroses again to the splendor of the world
she is a beacon of peace; of something the world needs most
FRom ashes to oasis of peace in withering land
She is the benevolent, Oh yes, the benevolent victim.

She knows no discord; her children are the ambassadors of the world

The past is history and the future is her preoccupation

From afar, I heard of her name

A name that resonates with melodious echoes

From afar I didn’t hear of her cry

From afar, I felt her grin

From afar, I see the illuminating light of her heart brightening the world.

From the Savanna land of Africa, I yeaned for her date

For the feel of her magnanimity

Yes! For the taste of her mercies, unbound love to the world

She defaults not in her duties! She meets the expectation of world.

Then the dry skies of Africa, the cold skies of Europe and Asia sang in unison!

The chorus of gratitude, with the lyrics of recognition.

The assembly of the world under her host

Diverse in nationality and race, they congregate

Surrounded by nature, by hymning mountains!

In different languages, the congregants understand the message

That she has been a benevolent victim, pursuing peace!

A warm host of diversities!
