Me, An African Poem by Precious Mlambo
Me, An African
Do not look down on my countenance
Because I am African
I may be hard hit by circumstance
But I still believe ''I can''!
I can rewrite the stories of man
And cause them to dream again
And tell my fellow Africans they can
Heal Africa from her pain
I am not made in the image of an ape
Nor am I related to one
And from my identity I will not escape
Because I was created through God's Son
My skin may be dark
But my future is not
I will leave a mark
And bless generations with what I've got
My true value is not the diamond mine
Nor the rich deposits of gold
My true value is this vision of mine
And through Christ's grace it will unfold
A wonderful, powerful poem, Precious. You are the diamond! Thanks for sharing
'' My skin may be dark But my future is not ... My true value is this vision of mine '' great verse, Precious. Brava! Cheers and WELCOME!
Great poem. I love it. I beg to differ on just one small detail: You were not created by God's Son; you were created by God Himself. Keep writing more. Great picture, also. Is that you in the picture?
Thanks Kim for the valuable comment. Noted. It is not me in the picture...cheers.
