I Am African

I am African, I affirm that i am Original African untainted, unblenched, unsoiled. I am African, with all the dignity of the first human. unashamed, unbowed, undaunted. I am African. unique, culturally so. I am from the people whose origin birthed all others, the first creatures of Earth. I am African, Boldly I declare, with this strength and sinews affirming, though they obscure my origin with fabrication, and contorted the fact with lies, Yet, my spirit aligning with the truth undeniable, I am African. Though the glare of calumny opposes, and unvoiced spite rent my melanin, I stand unfettered declaring, I am African. unrestricted traversing the globe, from this climes to India, I carry beauty across continents sowing seeds everywhere. I bore the heat unblenched. I retain the goodness of Gold. This sun does not affright. it leaves no particles with the scourge. When you see me touring the Land with strength, Remember, I am African.
