Have You Ever Been To Africa-Part Ii

Saplele Nigeria 2 Ogodo Road,stepping off the plane I immediately fell to my knees thanking my master for carrying me safely across the seas. I kissed the ground, the dirt is red warm from the sun the dirt felt like clay, legendary battles that had claimed and stained the earth red Africa!. I traveled the ruins, I placed myself in the moats stood inside the footprints of giants that once walked this earth. Have you ever been to Africa In my travels I visited the house of lightening and thunder,houses for sun, rain and hail have you ever been to Africa! a spectacular carving fashioned out of dark ebony wood a female, a mother her breast exposed,nipples pierced water flowing freely a small baby child smiling kneeling underneath the strong women,the child his hands ready to receive the free flowing water ahhhh refreshing cool water, Africa!
