Premium Member Xenophobia Ii: We Are Africans
History has formed us into one braid
to stay strong and never surrender to any blade
standing side by side to be each others shade.
Why then do we classify one another into grades?
So that some cut others off just b’cos they are made?

There’s still hope, this togetherness...

The Nameless - For South Africans of All Colours Who Fought For Freedom
The Nameless


Slipping through the sieve of history,

the nameless rest.

Not for the nameless are roads renamed, nor monuments built.

Not for the nameless are songs sung, nor ink spilled.

The nameless rest.

Their silent sacrifice,

quiet ordeal,

muted trauma,

remain interred,

amongst their remains.

The nameless rest.

Not for the nameless are doctorates conferred, nor...

STAND UP WITH THE PROBLEMS OF MILLIONS OF AFRICANS
as some African 
young leaders 
are  standing up 
with the problems
of millions of Africans.
they know well  
about
the work they are doing ...
Africa's advocates 
who know 
the consequences 
of the dangerous tasks 
which they are  choosing ...
Just  to help their compatriots. 
they can be wiping out  
silently

Africans Rejoice
Africans Rejoice,
Arise and clap your hands
Echo again the voice of nature
Patter your feet on the soil of your birth
Jig your waist in pride of your endowment
In response to the drum beat of life!

See the victorious sunlight is spread
Over the gloom of your clime
And under the...

Premium Member Remembering Four Centuries of Africans In America
Fields where the bondman’s toil
No more shall trench the soil,
Seem now to bask in a serener day;
The meadow-birds sing sweeter, and the airs 
Of heaven with more caressing softness play,
Welcoming man to liberty like theirs.
A glory clothes the land from sea to sea,
For the great...

The Africans of Old
THE AFRICANS OF OLD.




The Africans of old
At night, slept and of Africa 
For Africa they dreamt
Of a day to come 
When Africans will be free 
Uhuru Uhuru Uhuru
From every form of enslavement 
And oppressions. 

The Africans of old
In peace and harmony coexisted 
mpende jirani yako...

Africans Are All of Us
Africans are all of us

My dream for our nations - to forget what has been
To focus on here - and where we're right now
Our hearts will remember, our eyes have yet seen
Come here in the present - kneel down with a bow;
Not to each other...

Africa My Africans
AFRICA MY FATHER’S LAND.
AFRICAN IS AN OLD WOMAN
WHO LIVE IN A SHOE.
SHE HAS MANY CHILDREN
BUT DID’NT KNOW
WHAT TO DO WITH THEM
THAN SACRIFICE TO gods OF THE LAND.
BUT THE COLOURED CAME
AND OFFERRED EDUCATION THAT ACCOMPANIED ESIN-AJOJI.
AFRICANS GLOTONISE ESIN-AJOJI
WHILE THE COLOURED LOSE THE TASTE
THE BLACK MONKEY EMBRACED...

William Branham, Prophet To South Africans -
I
Paul warned his "son" Timothy, On Guard
In the end time, many false prophets disguised
Even as angels from heaven, will tickle ears
And many will be led astray; Jesus is "too much"
To take, one in Adelaide told me:
The Bible takes you that much, "eyes" that see
Know the...

Yesterday
What happened yesterday 
Can change  today. 
When a person understands
His" her" capacity 
He "she" can not see borders
To enter some world competitions 
Where racism and injustice
Are not principal choices. 

Power of beauty and wealth,  
Some  daughters of some poor in the Competition with some daughters...

Absence
Africa is very rich continent in the World
But many Africans die daily in Mediterranean sea  
Sad to see how natural resources are robbing daily,  
Evaluating the economy of African countries
None  is closer to a poorest European Country
Complicating system which oparates to favour 
EU Countries,their partners...
