Open arms of our ancestors were chained by salvation Imprisoned for their hospitality to wolves in white robes Exemplars of ideal piety in a sea of persistent savagery Anathematizing our ethnicity to centuries of slavery. A rich heritage was converted by ecclesiastics In exchange for a theology void of its vast history. Kingdom's senior to Rome birthed civilizations, agriculture and commerce. Yet its philosophy was condemned and baptized by brainwashers. Our fruitful Motherland and legends found wanting by their holy book, Genesis 9:25-27: "Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers. He also said, 'Blessed be the Lord, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the slave of Shem." A poisoned doctrine arrested mentality of lineages To deprive and surrender self, seeking an afterlife eternity, To wholeheartedly fund false prophets n preachers of hypocrisy And remain blinded to our heritage and congenital blessings. "Africa must wake up, Sleeping sons of Jacob" In slumber we backboned empires enteprises and entertainment Still failing to grant our compensation and true valuation Cause we are now followers to their Chains of Salvation.

Chains of Salvation
Welcome to the Off-show where reality never happens, An interim getaway from life's twists and thorns. A world of unfulfilled wishes and fable champions Here we are spoilt in opulence and celebrations. Mind wandering away to magical pleasures, Our form metamorphosed to toothsome figures. Heartbreakers resenting the day they broke up Relatives are now loudspeakers of our miraculous outcome. Soon reality returns and once again we are offstage To default conditions of dissatisfied offsprings. The squandered time and effort catches us off guard As false celebrations and goals are ruled out as offside. Our Off-show is but a self tragedy casting who we are not. An unattainable future if we don't embrace who are. Till we heal and dress the scars we might never shine as stars. When you embrace and empower yourself only then can you show off.

The Off Show
Effortlessly beautiful, A killer body on a penguin look. Playful at heart, Yet a smooth criminal on her dancing shoes. Devoted n decorous, The brain box acts childish n crazy too. Like diamonds she attracts. Old timers and princes longs to be her boo Severe yet polite, This melanin angel gets hell loosed. A queen of moods, She can hurt so bad n make u feel good.
