African Traditional Religion

AFRICAN TRADITIONAL RELIGION Our culture, our worship, our belief, our trait From West they came, they marred our pride As Blacks protest, the Whites defend Religions they brought are filled with threat So unprepared, the groom met bride Right now in chaos, we still pretend Now people cheat, and live un-straight But if t’was then, t’would not be tried We need retrace, let truth descend. Our church increase, our Mosque expand Our tears abound, our fears resound And should I call for us to merge? The more I think, I don’t und’stand In time of old, our faith was sound You dare not err, or try to serge The gods would strike and take their stand Those faiths from West could not expound Alas! Oh God, our faiths enlarge.

If re-incarnation was real, I would still be an African again and again.
