The voice of my ancestors

The voice of my ancestors The genesis of mankind never exclude my forefathers Cos they were the beginning from the beginning So i am never alone in this cold world The connection between me and my ancestors Are deeper than words It is till infinity The Bond never ends My ancestral possessions are eternal within my circle So I give all praises to my forefathers I give Gratitude to my mother's descendants Thanks to those who paved the ways leading To my existence today I appreciate the powers before me I adore the vibes and frequencies of my ancestors before my time now I carry the same frequency like my forefathers Who would have been my shield and protector If not my forefathers On whose land would have been my soil If not for that of my ancestors foot print On whose knowledge and wisdom Should I abide by On whose culture and traditions Should I live with On whose teaching should I maintain my dignity If not for that of my forefathers With whose education should I grow with So I need no permission to give thanks to the higher ones The spirituality before my existence The supreme before the strangers and hunters The wars before my battles The creators before my time The ones who never leave me alone till date I am the existing sample of the Past present and the future of an Igbo man alive Yes truly now i am the living ancestors of my kind So take a close look or listen attentively Is clear to the blind And obvious to the deaf that I am The voice of my ancestors
