Whispers of Africa.by (Samson E. Gifted).
In Africa's vast and ancient land,
Whispers of time in golden sand.
Savannas stretch beneath the sky,
Where lions roar and eagles fly.
Mountains rise, majestic and proud,
Piercing through the silver cloud.
Rivers weave through lush terrain,
Feeding life, easing pain.
Drumming hearts in villages small,
Unity in the face of all.
Traditions rich, stories old,
Wisdom in the tales retold.
Savory scents in markets wide,
Colorful crafts, a cultural tide.
Diverse tongues in harmony sing,
The spirit of Africa takes wing.
Sunrise paints the dawn anew,
Baobabs stand with ancient view.
Deserts whisper secrets deep,
While forests in their shadows sleep.
Echoes of struggle, cries for peace,
From the bonds of past, a proud release.
Dreams of children, bright and free,
Africa’s future, yet to be.
Oh, Africa, your soul so vast,
Your heart beats strong, from first to last.
With every whisper, every cry,
A legacy that will never die.

Peaceful Purpose
I have noticed that in the professional sphere, as far as I have noticed, that many people choose to come to work, mainly with the intention of collecting a paycheck, which I completely understand, unfortunately, we all need money to survive in this world. I also feel very strongly about the fact that if you are going to work in a profession, you should certainly treat that profession, whatever it may be, with the dignity that its purpose entails, whether you are working in the medical field, or working at a fast food restaurant, you should do you best to do the best job you can, because when it comes right down to it, we are all humans, going through the trials, and challenges that this life can bring us, by working together.
