African I Am

African I Am An African I am From the motherland, The charms of natures wits Hair,nose,lips My ancestral gifts. With the beauty of an inner soul, I will spread the joy of unity, To the discredited,rejected and ejected To the confused branches, Blown and scattered in the winds of discord Elevating to alien drifts, Whilst roots disengage from the soil, Of an African heritage Laden with gold Contrasting,uniting with an availing skin Dark ebony,golden sun. Self love,hope and yearning To be what I am And not what I am told to be This is freedom True liberty. But many have gone astray Father guide them back to the fold. Africa awaits you! Just be bold.
