Africa Chants

The beat of the jembe, a pulse of unity between embodiment and self. 
The seeds of Ubuntu, our grandmothers sowed in murmured displays.
The grunt of a Kudu, an imprinted bellow of pride in the herd. 
To Witness Uhuru, if conscious of self a prophecy dwells.
The Black Conscious Gurus, a pride in depression neglecting oppression. 
The Black Conscious movement the beautiful course depicting progression!
