be untrue to self;
hide in the corner & sulk,
do nothing, . . . forget
of your right to speak;
neglect the crucified blood,
choose not to succeed
and covet errors
that blanket the sordid past,
neglect. . .and wither.

for he created us all equal. The fact that one person is white,
one yellow, one red, one black, one brown...only shows his

It is the narrowmindedness of prideful man that puts a limit on
the exercising of one's abilities, just because of color or race.
I really enjoyed this poem you call Afri-ku. A fine piece of
writing.

We must stand strong together
as one....and hold each other
up...it's God's will that we do..
