Black February In America

In the USA, Black History month is celebrated In February, the month with the shortest days Meanwhile in my world, I celebrate year-round, every day In my heart: Black History. I’m absolutely delighted To the point of being ridiculously amazed I’m laughing, giggling. This is taking my breath away In reality, we need thirteen months to celebrate Black History. Be mindful that everything started In Africa. However, I am saying ‘thank you’ anyway There is no need to say obviously more or elaborate Mankind must be pompously and joyfully celebrated On a daily basis. There will be no world without Africa We all must hear the message: Africa is the motherland Africa is the mother of history. You might not want to stand With me. Please prove me wrong. Show that you understand The saga. Copyright © February 2023, Hébert Logerie, All rights reserved. Hébert Logerie is the author of several collections of poems.
