With guiltless thoughts,
My pride gleams,
The love for my race,
Color and culture.
Proudest of men I am,
My birth as an African.
Isn’t Afroism a pride ̶
A pride of Blackness?
Isn’t Black a beauty ̶
A color amongst several?
Call me Black;
I’ll smile the warmest.
Ridicule my race;
I’ll stand the proudest.
I am African ̶
From head to bottom.
My color, a pride;
Afroism – a pride, a will.
