Altered Spirits
In ancient times,
Before the predators came
Africa stood tall
With its vibrant flame
A land of secrets
A land of wisdom
Thriving in glory
Flourishing in pride
The beat of the djembe
The sound of the ekwe
Filling the night with
An enchanting display.
History has been lost
Africa has been altered
Trials and tribulations
But our spirits are unbroken.
Through oral traditions
History did unfold,
Preserving legends,
Preserving wisdom.
