African (Kwansaba)

in poetry •  7 years ago 

I am still an African, even though
I've eaten the Queen's tongue;even though
I sweat French fries more than Ugali
Even though I wear jeans not Kitenge
Even though I write about Snow White
Even though I drink white man music
Whose home was the womb of Africa
