The Cause (Africa Personified)

How dare they rape me,
degrade me,
call me unGodly,
steal my babies,
murder and mame me?
Yet they're afraid of me,
petrified of my freedom subsconciously,
Undoubtedly,
shouting they hate me
And all I did was exist?
Born from royalty,
Long line of untaught Kings and Queens
From Makeda to Nzinga
to Nefertari; who from her namesake begat Nefertiti
No, I am not bound by this mortality
And will not blame the devil who sees through
eyes of stupidity and isUnearthly,
I will get my just reciprocation
When my children pursue their rightful education
and begin to praise their ancestry in me
and teach their revelations
and subdue the nations of the ignorant
While my excitement exponentially heightens
from their constant elevation
