SET THAT FIRE


Daughter of Africa,
Set that fire ablaze within you,
The one they tried to douse with doubt,
The one buried beneath years of silence.

Set it roaring, let it speak for your ancestors,
Who built kingdoms with their bare hands,
Who sang freedom songs under the weight of chains.
Their courage flows in your veins,
Their strength is your inheritance.

Set that fire,
And light up the world with your brilliance.
For every flame you ignite,
You remind them: Africa never dims.

LET THEM DOWN

Let Them Down

They thought they could shape me,
mold my soul into a fragile thing,
but I’ve made up my mind.

Let them down gently?
No, I’ll let them fall hard,
onto the truths they ignored,
the silence I’ve carried.

Their words were arrows,
but I became the wind,
pushing back with every breath.

I’m not what they say.
I’m the voice they tried to bury,
the light that blinds when ignored.

Let them down, let them fall—
because I’ve risen.
