Featured Poem:
Ashanti!
The edenic garden on a fertile land of gold
Ashanti!
The kingdom whose boundaries were only penetrated
With treaties, never with canons
Ashanti!
The empire whose monarchy was furiously fissured
Yet could not be humbled into ‘crumbles’
Ashanti!
The people whose culture and tradition
Is a feast of smiling stars in their sparkling splendor
Ashantis!
The kingdom whose majestic steps
Always tame the troubled waters
Ashanti!
The empire blessed by the gods with a stool of gold
Ashanti!
The first graduates of Ananse’s weaving school
Ashanti!
The people whose hospitality
Turns strangers into natives
Ashanti!
The empire whose installation of her kings
Make the whole world walk to Manhyia
Ashanti!
The people whose heads are held high
Under the legendary leadership of Osei Tutu
Ashanti!
The porcupine warriors
Who double in thousands with the last man standing
Ashantis!
The porcupine warriors
Who never run out of quills!
The edenic garden on a fertile land of gold
Ashanti!
The kingdom whose boundaries were only penetrated
With treaties, never with canons
Ashanti!
The empire whose monarchy was furiously fissured
Yet could not be humbled into ‘crumbles’
Ashanti!
The people whose culture and tradition
Is a feast of smiling stars in their sparkling splendor
Ashantis!
The kingdom whose majestic steps
Always tame the troubled waters
Ashanti!
The empire blessed by the gods with a stool of gold
Ashanti!
The first graduates of Ananse’s weaving school
Ashanti!
The people whose hospitality
Turns strangers into natives
Ashanti!
The empire whose installation of her kings
Make the whole world walk to Manhyia
Ashanti!
The people whose heads are held high
Under the legendary leadership of Osei Tutu
Ashanti!
The porcupine warriors
Who double in thousands with the last man standing
Ashantis!
The porcupine warriors
Who never run out of quills!
