Tell me a Tale
One that has not been told,
From the prehistoric era of darkness
To this epoch of light and wonder.
Tell me a different tale,
One that has not been heard of,
About the unmentionable horrors of tyranny
Of Kings and Lords and ancient Sages.
Tell me a very different tale,
For my ears are bored to hear:
The sagas of legendary heroes
The myths of pompous deities.
Tell me a Tale;
One very new,
About Africa and her people
For my ears ache to hear:
The rhymes of her sparkle beauty
The beats of her free people
