Naked
As the celestial spirits gliding round the Ethiopian moon,
Naked
As the fire goddess shining from the Egyptian sun,
Naked
As the thunder god crying in the Nigerian sky,
Naked
As the royal mummies entombed in the ancient pyramids,
Naked
As the ashen zephyr of the driest harmattan,
Naked
As the forgotten martyrs of the Zulu dynasty,
Naked
As the barren cisterns of the Dead Sea,
Naked
As the infertile earth of the Sahara desert,
Naked
As the labyrinth of Africa's mystical myths;
Naked
Is the child of mother Africa!
Nigeria
