On African Spirituality: Listening To The Ancestors Poem by Emmanuel Liadi

On African Spirituality:
Listening to the Ancestors

Open your ears to the ancestors
Who had existed to protect our race
And had gone before us
Into the abyss of celestial space.
Walking through our genes
Like DNAs'
Guiding us to our dreams

Open your ears to the ancestors
And you will understand
The language of the spirits
Talking from within
... Like a conscience,
To understand creative intelligence
And life force.
