West

Em
Africa, a repository, a living archive of oral history,
the singer,
the seeker, the teacher, the preacher,
the entertainer, the unchainer, the keeper of
our history, the remover of
whitewashed mystery.
The griot is also the now -knower, the present -day seed -sower,
the extemporizer, the synthesizer
of current events, sad and merry mints,
and political commentary, singing the present
into legendary.
The griot, daughter of
Am
Em
Africa, daughter of glorious gladness,
the daughter of creatively
odd,
Todd. I am birthed in my griot -ness,
so it is.
The content here is of my visions,
my decisions to sing what's going on,
and I'll tell you what's going on in my heart,
in my soul.
And the form here is of my blues.
The shape, the color,
the flavor, enable and
entertain the joy and pain.
Blues you can use so that you can feel
what's going on. I'll tell you
F#m
Em
what's going on in
my heart and in my soul.
Amen.
Amen. I am blessed.
Asante mungu.
Asante sana.
