Oh Black Americans

Oh! Black Americans,  
Africa is your motherland 
And most Africans love you 
Not because you are called African Americans 
And lost your African mother tongues
And cultures. 
Being called Americans while speaking 
African dialects , suit the most. 
Did you hear about some people called "European Americans" in USA
 To trace where they came from?

Oh!Black Americans, 
I can advise you to learn " Swahili" and Continue to develop it in America.
Or mix up some African languages and come out with your new  lingo -  version and call it " Americaans" which will be differ to American English. 
Make sure majority of Africans understand Americaans 
Like  Afrikaans  in Germany,  Belgium and Nederland.  
Afrikaans could be called "Europeans" because it is  a mixture of some European languages. 
People speaking it are proudly Africans 
As they are citizens 
Of Africa. 
They don't forget their motherland either. 
If you wish to come back 
To  one of 54 African countries  to stay,  
The doors are always opened for you. 

Oh!Black Americans, 
Some Tamil, Telugu, Urdu
Hindi,Marathi, Tulu, 
Malayalam, Marwari, Odia,
Bengali, Kannada, 
Memoni, Gujarati, 
Sindhi,Konkani
Awadhi people were slaves in South Africa
 And they ended up being 
South African Citezens 
They forgot slavary and 
Worked so hard to get wealths 
Now majority of them are very rich 
Than many people in India and pakistan
They did not  forget their cultures
 And traditions.

Oh! Black Americans , 
Remember, 
In Africa ,
For Bantu to love and 
Hate each other , it is not a new acappella.
In Asia , 
For Tamilians to love and 
Hate each other,  it is not a new salsa. 
In India, 
For Telugu to love and 
Hate each other ,It is not a new lyric. 
In South Africa,
For Afrikaners and British people to love and
Hate each other,  it is not new samba.
In Belgium, 
For walloons and flamands  to love and 
Hate each other,  it is not a new rhythm.
In Canada , 
For French and British people to love and
Hate each other , it is not a new rhumba.

Remember ,
Hate and love are enemies
Who always lived together
From their creation.
