Who Am I?
Jamaican steel drums play
Ugandan names with secret meanings
Living knowing I am black, but not what black I am.
I could be from any of these nations and never know it.
Apartheid destroyed
Nelson released.
Never able to rewind time to pinpoint my starting place or
Experiencing my home race.
I have searched and searched for my past.
No information was found about my black roots.
Egyptian gods
Zimbabwe River
Can never seem to find my origin.
Unknown location, unknown past, unknown culture.
Resting in bed, I can not find myself or
To truly know who I am on the inside.
I have been lost
Since 1868.
