The Learned Africa

the black awakening

By milly joyPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

The future belong to Africans who can read.

African, a black skin toned human? No. A human living in the dark continent, maybe.

Our darkness pure as the dark sky, our culture as rich as the gates, our love as big as the Ocean and our ways straight as the lines.

Now, the light turns to us. To expose us to the world beyond , to wake us into a new dawn, to melt us into the new world. The light burned some of us but changed all of us. Time is upon us to understand the light. Enough of being a Miss-understood. Let's embrace modernity, without loosing originality. Let's understand technology before judging it's morphology.

The world beyond is changing fast and we should not lag behind. Let's create, let's innovative, let's initiate and let's motivate. How? By first educating. With education we gain knowledge, of the past of the present and the future. We understand the reasons why and the results how. Our minds are transformed with it, as With knowledge comes wisdom.

An educated Africa; an Africa that can read, understand and write. In result a civilized society lead by a civilized government.

With understanding our rights and laws we enable justice in our society. By understanding economic growth and development we are able to develop our societies and eradicate poverty. Learning our diversity, to understand that we all in a melting pot of culture.

The pot that makes us Africa.

For the future, of a prosperous Africa, the seed needs to be planted now. The picture needs to be painted and the border drawn. The curtain needs to be drawn and the light let in. It's time for a new Africa, a Learned Africa.

We need to design our own future but first we need to gain the skills to build it ourselves. Educate to employ and empower our own.

Written by the hands of Africa.
