Afrikan Poem

IDENTITY
By Anselm Adodo

Go to the ancestral shrine
The Sacred groove in your chest

And hear again the silent echoes
of the Ancestors' voices
Calling you to be awake, to arise.
Shake off the shackles of inferiority
O sons and daughters of Africa

Face the void
Love the darkness
Go to the ancestral shrine

The Sacred groove in your chest
And hear again the silent echoes
of the Ancestors' voices
calling you to awake,
and transform your world.

For you can transform the earth
Only when you discover

who you are.
