Happy Tuesday! 

I know you will have a beautiful day! 

The people of the Sun. What darkened their skin. The intense sunlight. We cannot predict or create skin color it is the direct result of our climate. We just take on the color of those we share d.n.a with.

Blessings to you!

This is an African Poem. 

 BY WAYNEVISSER

Africa

Gondwana

Born of Pangaea

When separation first started

Like a unicell dividing

Africa

Spilt from India

And from America parted

Cut adrift and subsiding

Birthplace

Of all humankind

Whose seed has been scattered

Far from the Ma tree

Darkspace

That light left behind

From progress that mattered

In the quest to be free

Battleground

Of tribe against tribe

Whose rivers of tears

Still bloodstain the sand

Whispersound

Of fate’s changing tide

As hope’s rising years

Unify this great land
