Come with me



Come with me,
To a place of beauty, with the call of duty, arise and come with me to a place called Djibouti, a boomerang shaped country in eastern Africa close to somalia and Ethiopia, where men chew leaves like caterpillars, a leave call "khat" what's that? A kind of leaf that makes people dreamy and thin so they are no where close to being fat and this is a real fact.
Come with me,
To south Africa, to see the red blanket people of Xhosa, people who speak with a click, their tongues and teeth perform quite a trick.
Come with me,
To see the lobi's of Burkina Faso in west Africa, they file thier teeth to points, people who are fierce and strong, they believe in "joro" a god, and a deity.
Come with me,
To Ghana, and see the vagla's whose musical tongue can be spoken by beats on an African drum, I call them "people of the talking drum"  and when they speak you will think they are singing songs.
Come with me,
To north Africa and see a tribe called "Riff" in Morocco, they are called the Berbers of the atlas mountains, and not too far from Morocco in is the Dogon's of Mali, a people with five days In a week, the Dogon who climbs very high to caves in the cliffs far in the sky, they also love ceremony and dancing.
Come with me,
To Namibia and see the children of the omumborumbonga tree, the Herero people with ladies Serene; thier victorian dresses are fit for a queen, they believed that In the beginning man and woman came from a tree called omumborumbonga.
