I want to write a poem about Africa
One with a substantial meaning
Stressing perception of our black being
Defining our roots with pride, we sing
Across the beautiful globe
These words will hold a covenant ring of truth
In the demise of racism
Eyes shall not only peruse this poem
But supplement the world's cognitive thinking schematic
About Us! Black people
I want to write a poem about Africa
One with just a few words, lines, Stanzas, rhymes
Similes and Metaphors
I want to write a poem about Africa
One that will crack a joke
Setting around the fire place
Laughing flames out to the burning wood
Divining in the mystical story telling of your roots
By your great grandma
Of all animals in the kingdom of Africa
Your deprived history
One you were sipped of dewless
I want to write a poem about Africa
One that will strike a home ran for you
All Africans in all corners of the world
Beating African drums, to the womb of your ears
Awakening your fore fathers from a pensive sleep
To scold you back to your mother land
"Africa"
I want to write a poem about Africa
One that will simultaneously touch hearts
In your sterile being
You'll see Africa from my perspective
For what it is
When you relish
This poem’s pure sense
Perhaps you'll feel the greatness that inspired me
To write a poem about Africa

I know of poetry as literary art of talented minds, bodies express and souls show love that utter poems with no prejudice. Is the spoken word.The chanted words. The black poetry.
