KENTE CLOTH STORY
What of this day we say we like?
Can any of we be sure to say we
Tried to find the Nile In the
Kente cloth style? Regard this
Further on the trail to the trial.
We BE bright. WE BE right.
On this earth called Africa.
Will we like how much the royal
Fabric frayed sacred to the Graves?
This Kente cloth we made. Now
We be like African days! You trying
To say we sighed? No. We forgave.
We survived to know the TRUTH.
The beauty of life we lived rushing
Against the odds that hardly ever
Favored US. And then this now we
Wade through subtle tides of the
River this Nile so true. We be like
Trying to divide the time from
Pain of strain? Flinch and define
The sense in my mind. I am
Inclined to decide I am right. With
That then why not strip this STRIFE
IN LIFE and be like it's fine. Despite
This mile I can not deny the melody
Of the music in my mind, so we all
Make a way and find our own
Kente cloth style. A promise at the
Bay in the stray of the day. We need
This fluidity of immortality. This is
Divine and they be like aahaa!
The Kente Cloth comfort comes!
It IS that time! And all this while
I wandered a mile from the Nile.
Now I realized with real eyes I was
Thirsty thus, trust this that we seek
To WRITE the WRONGS we have
Been seared with. So we be like
I AM STRONG then sing that song!!
Sun STRONG! EARTH SPRUNG!
Birth flung! HOME RUN! WE BELONG!
Glory of this story KENTE CLOTH
BE BORN!
