For everyone else the peom is a good one cos you are a great poet
But for someone who comes from almost the same background as you;
A contenent of slavery: Africa
The emotion and meaning is quite clear
For our ancestors didn't suffer in vain.
Still We Rise!

When I read a poem or hear a song that makes me breakout in goosepimples, I know I've stumbled on something special. Thank you Maya.
