UNDER THE SHADOW OF AFRICA

DEDICATION

To all the Africans

UNDER THE SHADOW OF AFRICA

Africans are black
Whites called them black monkey
But can you believe that is only Africa that saved Christ during
The time of King Herod
Under the shadow of Africa, I found my refuge

I shall dwell in Africa
Africans are creative and productive
Africa is colourful and wonderful
Africans are genuine with proverb
You can’t fool them easily
God blessed Africa with talented genius men and women
Africa has a wealth of patterns, everywhere you look you
Will see repetitions of shapes, arts and colour, textures and line laid out
In all sorts of arrangements
Under the shadow of Africa

In nature and all around us in Africa, there are patterns that can be visualized
Or conceptualized
Deeply thrown afternoon shadows from trees and rocks lend themselves to beautiful
The fan of palm leaves in shadow remind one of the spread out fan shapes seen both
Outside and within these round, woven placemats
I personally rephrased Africa as an ancient world
Above all Africa inspired
They’re industrious and there is an overwhelming sense of design
I love Africa
Under the Shadow of Africa Igbos basked
