My true Afrikaner name is Asogwa Oluchi
a Queen of all Queens, a lioness amongst the poets,
your highness is reckoned amongst the fiercest of them all

I always keep away from those who try to belittle your ambitions.
Small people always do that, but the really great make you believe
that you too can become great.”


Love but not in love, I smile but  it isn’t happy smile
I just can't control my feet, so I dance into the wee hours of the morning
To the African beats, night drums, while my hips sway to Tovares
A poet with an ambition, her roar is louder than thunder
she shake her sword at the moon
I was forced to speak their language,
now they want to steal my power, energy and soul,
But my ancestral spirit shield me from my oppressors
Strong, brave, fearless and determined is the heart of this lioness
