THE AFRICAN SOUL

 


THE AFRICAN SOUL

Afield the echoes scream,
Deep within the alluvian of the African soul
Squat and croaking in my conciousness
things about arts found only in dreams
trying to access my share
of the brotherhood questions
that pain has sought to kill

the black man curriculumn
teaching me about thyself...
nourished anew along the Niger plains
under the skin of a native beat
as I study the African literature
