Kush

Kush
Itiopia
Akhenanten
My true identity
Carved into the Benin bronze
Awash with the mud of the Niger Delta.
The profile of an Omec
Adorns my visage.
A black prince of the night
Surveying the landscape for danger
Healing the sick with the balm of a shaman.
Like the Zulu
Heralding from the stars
Divination and cowrie shells
Hide my destiny.
The magic of the Pharoahs
Lies dormant in my
Great sleep of the ancestors.
