Poem On The "History" Of Africa

I had a friend challenge me to write something on the history of Africa and I accepted. This poem is more like a free verse that dives into the possible ancient history of Africa. I hope you enjoy.

 Back before science recorded the Moors, Carthage and Pyramid floors 

The Mali Empire, Aksum and the Great Zimbabwe wars 

There was a world, pre-flood that history ignores 

Lost in the sands of time… But the mystery endures   

The gods of the Greeks were once African Kings 

Legends through speech and oceanic trafficking  

Stories of Osiris, Poseidon and a fire-breathing sigh of chimera 

History has been lying; Atlantis is now the eye of the Sahara 

Evidence in plane sight, pyramids aren’t aged right 

Lady of Mali stands calmly and knows no stage fright  

Ethiopian churches built out of daylight, the sage night   

Let the Lion look to the East 

Desert washed up from the West 

Up North Alexandria light up the sea 

Good Hope in the South is best  

Heart of diamonds, people are the soul 

So many mysteries that history hasn’t told    

Let me know what you think.

I appreciate you reading.
