CIVILIZATION DAWNED ON US (FOR AFRICANS) [VERSE I ‘1’]

CIVI'LIE'ZATION DAWNED ON US

My forefathers had no grave

Neither did yours had a tomb

We would have sought their sights

When civilization dawned on us

To see beyond the alps

Planted before our eyes

There were no journals

Or diaries left for us to peruse

We would have haste to them

When civilization dawned on us

Maybe their philosophy and wisdom

Could heal our ignorance

No teacher or learned scholar

Did among them rise

We would have probed their school of thoughts

When civilization dawned on us

Perhaps, a deluge of our questions

Their answers could have solved

They had no knowledge

Of meditation and astral projection

We would have unsealed our third eye

When civilization dawned on us

So, to see yonder shadows

For our brains to be illuminated

Had they but calculations

Of mathematics and physics?

We would have applied 'Almighty formula'

When civilization dawned on us

As a means to find truth

To the mysteries rooted in our hearts.
