Iam from Africa
I am from Africa, and my name is Africa, I come from the Queens and Kings of the bemba Kingdom. We are bantu-speaking people .
I am from Africa, the birthplace of humanity, and my melanin is the same dark matter in the universe.
I am the mother and the father of all human races, Europe, and Asia. I gave birth to them they are my children.
I breastfeed the world, and without me, the world economy would collapse.
I am from Africa, and I have been abused,sodomised, and raped by my own children. All my children they look down upon me.
My spirit of Ubuntu is seen as cowardice by my children, iam an eyesore to my children. My skin color is said to be inferior by the "Shallow-minded."
I am from Africa, the house of abundance, the place where we bathe in the sunshine, and speak to the gods of the universe.
They say, iam less evolved human and iam backward, but I saw the sun before you. I am the first and the last .
I am from Africa. we are the sons and daughters of the sun, and we believe in the brotherhood and sisterhood of humanity.
I am from Africa, and it is my darkness that gave birth to light.
