Afro Kings

F-or our Hamitic brothers and sisters.
R-ealizing their true calling in this Europeanized world,
O-r risk neglecting a deeply-rooted culture filled with united peoples and powerful leaders.
K-ick foreign
I-nvaders out of our

G-etting a hold of one of the most important things the African man needs today.
S-omething so essential. So vital! And that is, the "OUR-story" of our African people.

I only have one objection to this and that's the word "HISTORY" ...
... I've often broken down this word into two components for my students when we talk about America: His Story - as in the annuls of this country are often told from the perspective of the very egocentric males you mention ...
For me a word like TRUTH or MAJESTY would have worked better in your piece

Hey! Thank You! I'd like to appreciate you for addressing that. See, back in 7th grade I had a teacher who brought that to our attention and it freaked us out, but was so true. She said, "What WE need is "Ourstory", and so I have decided to edit this and change it to that, instead (for the sake of being poetic) since I still meant the same idea.
