the african pride
the african queen,
queens to all africans,
common women,
with uncommon values and virtues,
beauty from the break of dawn,
valour with honour,
cursed with love,
glimmering like a spike of pearl and silver,
born to teach,
they invigorate a man,
make him bless the very day
he quit bachelorhood,
theirs,
became stories,
stories became legend,
legend became a myth,
and all,
embraced by culture,
theirs became pride,
the african pride.
