AFRICAN FAMILY REUNION


African family reunion
how interesting it would be
to follow Alex Haley
and retrace our family tree.


Back to our native homeland
Uganda, Kenya or Chad
to learn how African life was
before the good things went bad.


It's sad we can only retrace
to a time when our people were slaves,
Ancient ancestral traditions,
carried with them to their graves.


We know little of our heritage.
They refuse to teach it in school.
Celebrating ethnic diversity
is something we should all want to do.


An in depth research of Black History
would offer an amazing surprise.
We've contributed much to world progress.
The truth would open your eyes.
