Who Am I? Poem by MONGAMELI MAZONGOLO

I'M BLACK AND BEAUTIFUL,
MY LIFE IS NICE, PURE AND PEACEFUL,
I'M STRONG AS MY SKIN,
I'M LOVING AND MY LOVE IS FROM WITHIN,
MY SOIL IS RICH, THUS MY HEART IS FILLED WITH GOLDS AND DIAMONDS,
MY BREATHE SHINES MORE THAN THE WATERS IN THE FISH PONDS.
INDEED, I HAVE THE GREAT-STRONG BONDS-
THAT ONLY, MY SELF, COULD UNDERSTAND.
I CAN WITH STAND -
EVERY MATTER FOR I AM STRONG.
REALLY, WHO AM I?
I'M THE MOST SHARP SPEAR,
THE GREATEST LOVE WHICH CONQUERS FEAR.
I AM THE REAL CREATURE,
THE MOST BOLD AND BRAVE CREATURE,
THAT NO ONE COULD DIFEAT,
I REPEAT...
I'M SHINEY, WISE AND GOLDEN,
NO OTHER ME CAN BE THIS AFRICAN-
THAt I AM,
THE MOST FORTUNATE SOUL IS WHO I AM,
MY INBORN IS MY HAPPINESS,
GUESS?
IM AN AFRICAN!
