Kings

The Time of Kings

 was a time when leaders 

were chosen by God

and despite their flaws

 it was all in the blood.

In Africa, we have mostly lost our lineages

we do not have kings anymore, 

we have puppets,

the true kings were deposed 

by colonialism,

a system which denied our existence

 and even that of our God!

Yet this whole time God has been with us

counting the years with us

I have not shed a single tear

but now suddenly all those bottled up feelings

Are trying to get the hell up outta here!
