Who Am I What Am I

WHO AM I WHAT AM I

Who am i, what am i, whats my place
Who is my GOD am i important
does being black mean am inferior...
am i any less a mortal..
does being black determine
whats between my ears..
your Gods today i have begotten you..
What was David yapping.... about am black

Do i need pity because am from Africa...
NO.. I have pride and self worth
The west doesn't define me..
There is no other place id rather be born..
Kenya the LAND of splendor and mysteries
OH I wish you would see kerenyaga
the mountain of spender and mysteries
Dedicated to NGAI MURUNGU the supreme
creator..Land of freedom fighters
field marshal and general.. kimathi.
general mwariama are my heroes
real life heroes not superman

Kenyatta, Nyerere Nkuruma.. the pan African dream
then hit the economic hit man and i was brought to-
my dreams..western corporations have patent even..
kikuyu Grass now belonging to them...
the kikoy my grandfather wore now its their patent
our minerals and diamond the Cary from Congo
then pay merceneries to keep the war alive..
Their media propagating a dark continent
without hope..where people are diseased
with a distended stomach... selling death ****
To are people deluded that they are superior..
their leader a son of our soil...

www . ya mumbi . com a resource for us
you are welcome to learn the way of my GOD
And our splendid culture and yes you will
see the mountain i used to see as i walked 
to first grade without shoes..no that we couldn't 
afford but my neighbor... couldn't and am sensitive
to less fortunate...

A black but am also human
i have value systems and
i have wealth above all am fair
Africa kills her sun...
a good poet once said
Africa Renaissance...

"Africa kills her sun" I love that poem. Did you too read African short stories in secondary school? You know, the one that had Ken Saro-wiwa and several other African writers?. Your poem is really good too.
