Royalty

ROYALTY: VELENTINO PHIRI our Grandfather
From a place of refuge he trekked
to the peripheral of the throne
rightfully his
"Moses on the verge of Canaan..."

Endowed with a rare talent
potent of perfecting the art 
that built pyramids in days ancient
A mighty man...

Though not enthroned
A KING he was...ruler of our people...

True as it was
He still is....ROYALTY!
