Traces

Traces of Haile Selassie ‘I’
The Lion still roars
Traces of Martin Luther King
dream lives on

Traces of Bob Marley
In song “get up stand up for your rights”
Traces of Malcolm X
Segregation fight still burns bright

Traces of Mandela's  
Fight for justice set free
Traces of Marcus Garvey
Purpose and His-story

My people realign and trace
History of their victories 
On the walls of the Pyramids and sand
Inscribe with Sculpt object in hand

It is said “there is no future without history”
Revelation given by our ancestries 
Traces from ancient of times
Activating inquiring minds…
