AN AFRICAN CHILD

African child with a tint of black

Nostalgic memories tied to his back

Because black don’t crack

Nobody dare attack

An African child in an a wrack

Precious African gold

Don’t wrinkle and grow old

Rules with wisdom to no ones foothold

In a scaffold

With powers to a freehold

African child knows their worth

They’d say black is the color of the earth

Ulilations signifying their birth

Toiling hard for a dearth

Evening embracing their lives around the hearth

African child is emotional

Introduction is always informal

Making this a normal

Considered as an ancestral proximal

This is historical and lachrymal
