History


Oh how have we_ the children of the soil 
Oh how have we_ forgotten the sound of our names
Oh how have we_ despised the beauty of the sun 
Oh how have we_ kept quite about our story 
Oh how have we_ sang songs of strangers
Oh how have we_ slept under darkness

History has been captured by the sons of perdition
the sons who have stolen our heritage
hiding it in the deepest of a pit
day and night we forget about the history 
that has been passed down from generation to generation
by our loving ancestors

Oh how have we_filled our eyes with dust
Oh how have we_altered our way of doing things
Oh how have we_ despised our own kind
Oh how have we_ sold our morality
Oh how have we_chased the vain teachings of our enemies
Oh how have we_been deafened by the charms of wicked men

History has become a lie to the modern fool
Only the curious irritates the sin out of a sinner
a mind not satisfied by what they are told 
History sings her song from the grave
from the one who has driven it to the ground
History can still be saved by its own_if only they would listen

Oh have we_formulate conclusions with foolish tales
Oh have we_ looked in the mirror of deception
Oh how have we_turned our backs to their proverbs of art
Oh how have we_used religion to seduce our daughters 
Oh have me_created systems that caused a great terror to traditions
Oh how have_ we dug up the graves our the dead to study their authenticity

Arise_spirit of the young prophets of Africa
Arise_ spirit of the great loin 
History is asleep no more History is being resurrected
the chains of the sons of perdition have been broken
The children who hold the scepter of revelation
comforting the memories of their ancestors

Oh how have we_ the children of the soil 
Oh how have we_ forgotten the sound of our names
Oh how have we_ despised the beauty of the sun 
Oh how have we_ kept quite about our story 
Oh how have we_ sang songs of strangers
Oh how have we_ slept under darkness

The Descendants of the warriors of Eden have awoken
The daughters are singing songs of triumph
History is being accompanied by the mothers of dignity
The stars can no longer withhold their gift of light
The deserts are flowing with waters of life
The history of Africa has come back to the children of the soil

From a Woman To a Mother



I was woman, Woman was I
With the finest of elements the purest of minerals
Was I beautifully molded
No human was entrusted with my formation
Only a God so perfect had me

Like a wild flower, I blossomed
Like a river i had calm and peace
Slowly time taught me the sacred secrets of motherhood
i learnt all things, Like the great king Solomon of Long ago
I was made wise and shrewd

In an unexplainable way, I met your protector
Your provider and seed sower
 My beloved known to you as father, we had our products
The best that only creation can offer beautiful children
named by me and surnamed  by my beloved

Being entrusted with your lives was a calling
 I was challenged by the system of things
I was mocked by the women of wealth
I was detained by slander 
Because i raised you virtuous

Like a tree i shaded you from the sun and its harsh rays
Like the clouds i showered you with the rain of love
was the world was scorching
Like a beaver i built a wall of protection
for your minds

Like a honey bee i made the sweetest  treat 
when your peers were bitter
Like the sea i filtered all the dirty talk
Like the mother eagle i taught you how to soar
With the wind beneath your fragile wings

Experiences with your father
The experiences with you my loves
 put a crown of mother on my head
I was named the empress of grace
The mother of my kingdom

God help my right hand and walked with me
I am celebrated for being a mother
There is no scientific proof of the depth of my nature
No formula or mathematical equation can calculate
The authenticity of my kindness

I am a complex to the gods themselves
I AM MOTHER, MOTHER I AM
MOTHER SHE IS
