Oh My Africa (a Poem) by Jinali(m): 9:51am On Jun 15, 2019
In thy fertile land I was born,
Strong blood & strong bones,
My dark skin made resilient by sun burns,

I am a proud African man,
A land of ancient & modern wisdom,
A land of Physics & Metaphysics,
A land of riches of ages,

I believe in Chukwu (God) & my name is Chukwunonye,
I am a Juju man not a Jew,
I do Science & I do magic,
I do Arts for everything changes,

Technology is a name; its art we created,
In Africa many came seeking wisdom & Power,
Jesus came,
Thales came,
Socrates came,
From Socrates to Plato,
From Plato to Aristotle,
Only a Fool rejects the teacher & accepts the student!

I am Africa,
I am Igbo,
I am Ancient & Modern,
I am a High Priest not in the order of Melchizedek,
But a High Priest in the order of my divine Ancestors!
Live & let live!
