Am an African <br />not because i wear 'RADO' on my wrist <br />But because my great-grandfather's wrist <br />Was costumed with schakled chains <br /> <br />Am an African <br />not because i live in Africa <br />but because i was natify <br />Between the high over hills of Africa <br /> <br />Am an African <br />Not because i can speak the African languages <br />But because flowing in me, <br />Is the flow of greatness <br />That flows in every African <br /> <br />Am an African <br />Not because Africa is enriched with a thousand and one resources <br />But because the beautiful sun of Africa <br />Has descended on me <br />Like a overflowing river <br />The acceptable climate, <br />Was a joy to me <br />And a joy to africans <br />Am an African <br />Not because i pierced ma lips with a fashion ring <br />But because my ancestor's lipss <br />Were shut with hot padlocks <br /> <br />Am a native of the black race <br />For better for worse <br />for ease, for glory <br />Thy shall not deny ya kins <br /> <br />If your grandfather's were slaves like mine <br />and flowss of greatness flows in you <br />And some kindred of african's behaviour <br />Then no doubt <br />You are and AFRICAN<br /><br />animashaun ayomide<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/am-an-african/
