    MY AFRICAN QUEEN

    Queen

    my queen

    if you allow

    i will bow 

    before you

    and witness your coronation

    in the shadows of the theater

    smiling proudly as you receive

    your subjects

    for in your presence i feel

    as if i belong in the panthenon of mortal men

    my queen

    if you allow

    i will through the dictates of the gods

    ease your everyday burdens

    protect  your royal rule

    detect those whom are cruel

    and enemies lurking

    determine in their frivolity

    genuine laughter from pompus smirking

    and if they persist i will plot their demise

    for i 

    my  african queen will glady die

    to ensure you witness

    another sunrise

    my queen

    if you allow

    i will not ask favors of you

    but be there when needed

    the gods have declared me to be your mate

    i refuse to be succeeded

    for there are no princes in waiting

    i have drawn the line

    for i define 

    my  very life  

    by the generous love you graciously bring

    you are my wife

    and i your african king

     

    enough talk of wedding bands

    and engagement rings

    mere baubles

    for mortals

    our comsumation of love 

    was made possible by the kiss of ymoja

    as we made love by the riverside

    within the strong and protective hands of asa

    we were aided in our time of misery

    and achieved what many thought impossible

    the blessings of famian

    protects our health and ensures your fertility

    the guidance of imana

    plots our childrens course

    for  blessed they are with the purity

    of your celestial heart

    our nightly prayers to nyami

    ensure that our ancestors protected souls

    guide us with the enternal flame

    aimed in our direction

    from the house of the supreme

     

    my queen

    if you allow

    for you i will face evil head on

    without a trace of fear in my eyes

    for

    to ensure 

    your reign

    i will die

    for upon the birth  of creation

    you were bequeathed  virtue

    and after you were born

    you were torn 

    from your mothers embrace

    your family scorned

    and killed in a cout d etat

    i and i rescued you

    even as  men determined to destroy

    your empire declared an intifada

    yes i tell you this now

    for it was  foretold by the supreme

    you are one with me

    let no man dare deny your magesty

    the supreme  chose me

    and though protecting you 

    i will meet my demise

    my soul shall return 

    to  protect you my queen

    and you shall indeed bear witness

    to sunrise after sunrise

    and with your decree

    africa  shall rise  again

    for no mortal man can  defeat you

    nor halt the supremes plan

    you are the african queen

    the mother of the first land
