Rwanda is NOT Hotel Rwanda!!!

Rwanda- is not hotel Rwanda
No-
Rwanda is the heart beating life of Africa-
The world’s example and definition of hope, resilience and ambition
If you haven't yet heard
listen,
Grab a pen and learn-
Rwanda is a lesson.

Rwanda is where the great Kivu lake
Rests in-
Where the birds of the Nyungwe forest

Nest in
and the foreign investors fly all the way to

Invest in
What's happening right now in Rwanda
Is interestin’
And its amazin’
To be a part of and watch...

Watch...
Rwanda

Rwanda is
Tens of growing cities
Hundreds of opportunities
The land of a thousand hills-
The faces of a million smiles-
And just
one people-
We are united back home-
Where I come from...

In Rwanda there is freedom
Where we live in peace
And live as we please
Yemwe simvuga amahanga
Nda vuga iwacu murwanda
Ahari kubera ibitangaza-

Rwanda Is
birds and lakes
Lights and city streets,
Volcanoes and silver backs,
Restaurants,
Cinemas and coffee beans,
teas, industries,  electricity and honey bees...
I come from the earth's last piece of paradise

A big hearted land
Where my people
Chose forgiveness
Form the atrocities they witnessed
A land
Where we are not afraid to speak the truth
A land
Where there is room for the youth
A land
Where one people work hard hand in hand
To demand,
Justice and dignity-

We come from a land-
That has risen from the ashes of sorrow
To the rose blossom of tomorrow
A land
of agaciro-
We come from that land

So NO-
Rwanda is not hotel Rwanda-
We will not be defined by the genocide
Rwanda is
A land of pride-
The home to
dreamers, believers and achievers,
Learners and teachers
Humans and creatures
the heart beating life of Africa-
The worlds example and definition of hope, reliance and ambition
If you haven't yet heard
Yo, I hope you listened
Rwanda is a lesson!!!
