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.
A poem to enlighten myself as well as readers about the Misfortunes and sufferings of Africa and Africans who depend on religion to set them free, the same religions that holds us captive.
