Poem
ROOTS OF AFRICA Celebrating the Legends African Arise! Arise! Arise Africa …………………… Dig deeper into your conscious, causes of your discomfort I heard you are rich in diamond, gold and oil, but you are still vagabonds I am sorry Mother Africa; I know your husband is corrupt and very abusive It is because you divorced the TRUTH and covered yourself in illusions True Legends died for your freedom but you are still chained in metal slavery Together we can rise, together we can fight and together we can win, yes raise Africa, rise! I heard you want to rise above the storm, very inspirational But can your people afford to pay the cost, which may cost them everything Like discomfort for comfort, pain for payment and persecution for purpose Your success is questionable, because leaders who have no roots are leading you If you think I am lying check your clock: you are not where alleged to be by this time I do not blame you Mother Africa, but your parents, your husbands, and your children True Legends died for your freedom but you are still mentally/spiritually incapacitated Together we can rise, together we can fight and together we can win, yes raise Africa, rise! I heard you exchanged your birth right for a piece of meat, discredit! Come let me show you who you are, your power, potential, possibilities and possessions Africa you are powerful before your birth, royalty and kingship runs in your veins, cryptic! You are the center of riches, minerals and hope, hoping you could see this, fascinating! Arise black man, arise black man, you best in sports, music, movies, poetry, finance, governs, Tell your sisters and mother, its time to arise above fears, failures and falsehood, be legends True Legends died for your freedom but you are still divided, failed to see power of unit/love Together we can rise, together we can fight and together we can win, yes raise Africa, rise!
