Title: Kwanzaa Post by: Poetic_Princess on December 25, 2004, 09:27:57 PM By KEN ZAKEE
For so long I've been searching for too long I've been searching Never was taught much about the Homeland The Information I received was always secondhand and My soul has been yearning while my memory has been learning How to deal with the vulture that's been robbing me of my culture In my heart there's a song since KWANZAA came along KWANZAA. a seven day cultural celebration that unites African-American brothers and sisters In this once strange and foreign nation Didn't come to America by way of Ellis Island We arrived in slave ships that Took us from our African Homeland The vultures went through great pains to separate us from the knowledge of our historical roots and treated us like a pair of old worn boots KWANZAA, African-American brothers and sisters uniting to hold on, to the culture I've been searching for for so long ... for too long. http://www.ritesofpassage.org/kwanzaapoem.htm |
