African Blood, African Love, Afrikan Joy!
This poem is written for all the children of the diaspora by Queenhealer,7./NaNa Kwakyebea
My Ancestors came from the Mother Land
but, I could never understand why
I wasn't allowed to be me an African, an African child, girl Women!
I am an African
proud of my roots and my African spirit
I am an African
with joyful soul wrapped up in it
I have an abundance of African love and African Joy
and I am going to spread it
to every African Girl and Boy
My ancestors came from the Mother Land
and now I overstand
why Africa was made to be such a mystery, to me!
Now, It is really clear to see
why they didn't want me to know of my culture,language and history
never having true clarity
or knowing my real purpose or destiny
never being aware of how awesome I could be!
I am an African
proud of my roots and my African spirit
I am an African
with sooo much African soul wrapped up in it!
I have an abundance of African love and African joy
and I am going to spread it to every African Girl and Boy
