Poem: Nous Sommes Africains

Liberian initiated girls in 1910

Je suis N’gambaye

Elle est Tchadienne

Il est Tchadien

Nous sommes Africains

Vous êtes Africaines

Nous sommes Humains

Vous êtes habitantes de cette Terre.

Sande Bush girls seated with headpiece made by mothers in Liberia 1960

Peuple Blanc ou Noir, populace née dans l’obscurité de cette Lumière,

Saches-tu que t’es un individu qui ne vit qu’une seule fois et mourra qu’une seule fois?

Nous avons Foi que la valeur de nos vies vous poussera à reconsidérer vos points de vues.

Vue les choix de vos actions, sachez que nous sommes pleins de Vie et d’espoir.

Etres puissants qui continuent à exister même de nos jours.

Tu es de l’Europe Ils parlent le Mandarin

Elles sont albinos Ils sont communs, nous sommes un.

Et bien qu’elles sont noires et blanches, nous les acceptons.

Et ainsi vous êtes tranquilles.

Vivons en paix et en harmonie.
