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!
