Black Star – A Poem by Margaret Mungai, Kenya

When I think of Ghana
I think of bright colors,
rich and vibrant African colors.

When I think of Ghana
I think of dancing
dancing to loud and enchanting music.

When I think of Ghana
I think of cocoa fields
and laughter and beautiful coarse hands.

When I think of Ghana
I think of Kwame Nkrumah
and our fighting, unrelenting spirit.

When I think of Ghana
I think of football too
and the black stars.

When I think of Ghana
I want to say
May your black star shine always.
