Child of the African Soil

Africa Day

I was moulded from the very sands of my land.

The colour of my skin constitutes of every shade of the soil, blended together to create the right shade, the right tone, the right glow.

The sun rays illuminates the beauty of the African child. It accentuates every aspect of the African child, every pore oozes of perfection.  Every blemish radiates the true beauty of Africa.

To the Natural Loners and Wonderers

“Not everywhere you fit is where you belong.”

A profound statement that most individuals are faced with during their journey of self-discovery. This journey never seems to end because every now and again one has to sit down and evaluate the environment they're in and the person they have become. Each person gets a chance to do some introspection on oneself. Am I the person I would be proud of meeting? Would I befriend me if I were to meet me on the streets? Would I have lunch with me? Am I truthful to myself and not pleasing the masses? This journey leave’s most individuals confused beyond belief because when one thinks they have found themselves and the crowd they don't mind being with and have meaningful memories with. This can turn out to be the opposite, where one finds themselves sitting at the barrier asking if I truly belong here.

Some get disconnected from the known social structures, structures that they belong to; they have been part of for ages. One gets to ask God where you want me. What person do you want me to be? Whom should I call friends?
