Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time there was a Black Man in Africa,
He was a different Blackman with words of love and care;
And today he is here with you as a bard so sweet,
So let your innerself arise to toch the world with love.

In the beginning was the sojourners scattered thoughout Pontus,
But today the Black Man is here with you with the muse of love;
And the foreknowledge of his words are better than hate.

To the new born babies,
Be merciful to all around you;
For once upon a time was this Blackman into the journey of hardships,
But today he is here with you people to guide you on with care.
