GERD (Remove filter)
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, “The only we!”

A false positive
Despite Blue-Nile

In tackling
A mammoth project

Distilling from the past making tomorrow bright
Forefathers shedding blood
In a spectacular
Bravery and unity
Heralded
"A violated-not sovereignty

For posterity!
What is more
An unpolluted culture
And intact identity!
Thus, maintaining integrity
And hard-preserved identity
Getting poverty and lack
Behind our back,
For the coming generation
We have to pave the track
With Mega projects Like
