The Phenomenal 'Naija Oyinbo' - For Patricia Omoqui 'Thought Dr'

Now, I know the barriers of the skin colour are the ones Imposed by the human mind The aesthetic of a man aren't embedded in his possession But they are embedded in his ability to touch souls in this whirl wind of divided culture I have seen no beauty so iridescent like that of a non discriminating mind A mind free of prejudice and full of love so great it flows like an ocean ... I found that mind graced by the beautiful ' Naija Oyinbo ' An angel of words An angel with halo traded for visibility A woman with blooming love that radiates ... It's the magic of her words The magical feel of the words carved by her pen Touching souls, a privilege accorded to few minds I found that mind graced by the beautiful 'Naija Oyinbo ' * Naija is a short way of calling Nigeria, and oyinbo means a white person. 22-04-2017 For Shadow Hamilton's contest.

You remind me of history of 1850s. Even though, there was racial discrimination then, there were some Whites that fought alongside side Africa, against discrimination. Thanks for sharing.
