African Love Meditation

African love
and African justice are one
a fountain unveiling
our  spring of sacred water
and salt melted into one

The gods
have different names
depicting the shapes
they want it to take

The god of birth giving
is the master
of African love
and the god of thunder
is the master
of African love of  justice.

Lethal mystic will
and consent
melted in one 
enjoy
the same standard
It is our wealth 
and  the sorrow lulling
drink of our people.
