Seen a lot
Yet can’t figure the dot
I’m an African, and will forever be
Nothing can change that
Neither I nor Him
Everywhere, I’m called African
Yet my race, failing to own the reality
I have, but my people, have yet to face the reality
We take their names, appreciate their ways
In my continent, we experience racism within a race
My neighbour cannot name their child with my tribal name
But so much happy to mark the child with that of a stranger’s name
We pray and popularize religions forced upon us
Shifting from our own, seeing everything in it as evil
In Africa, passing ceremonies on rocks is evil
In the foreign land of Mecca, that on a black rock is holy
Funny, most cannot separate Islam from the Arabic Language
A Christian I am, yet a series of bizarre things within it
Things created and adapted from the Jews by Roman Emperors
I’m in the middle, several things, books force upon us
Their children learn in their mother tongue,
Yet we’re not comfortable with our mother tongue
Africans have always been Africans, yet take no pride in it
Yes! we pray in foreign religions, Christianity, and Islam
But have always been mingling with our traditional ways
The politicians can relate, so also the famous people
I will forever appreciate African, for I’m a true African
We can change, but we must be ready for it
We’re a unique and peaceful race. If not!
What they did to us hundreds of years, what they’re still doing.
We’d be more than a threat to them by now, but we love them
We live within boundaries, boundaries created without our consent
We’re caught up amidst their double standards.
So, in the far east of Ukraine is just a genocide
The memories of Ota Benga live on and will forever live on
