Before

Pharaoh Tutankhamun graced the Egyptian throne, A *****, brisk and spry. From his majestical hands, dangled a scepter And on his handsome head, sat a crown. His empire was at its peak For he wielded influence all over africa. The bearded Europeans and nubianS sought his protection For egypt, was a haven. So organised was the land: Amun-re and maat protected the people, The country grew with the help of viziers. Agriculture was a noble profession in the land, As her economic markets were the best in the world Egypt gave light to Greece and Mesopotamia For her civilisation altered many a life. And also, was the birth place of man Such, was the land of egypt The middle ages stroke and Europe went to sleep But mama africa gave birth to many strong children: Ghana, Mali, Songhai and many more These children shoke the world with their riches and organisation. Such was the history that africa recorded before they came. Fredriech Hegel in want of speech said: "Africa never had a history before the whites came." Such a mediocre declaration from an illiterate For in place of his brain, graced a kidney. Africa was well civilised before the bearded people came: We had a religion We had education as seen in egypt We had a well organised system in all aspects. We had everything needed for prosperity, We attracted them with our gold, thus they came. But most of all, we believed in equality. Such was africa before they came/ But when the bearded people came, They altered our ways and put us in stocks Then said: "we had no history." Oblivious that africa had made history, BEFORE AND BEFORE THEY CAME.
