Risen to Great Heights

Behold, confident future of our African society

Arisen from its past and darker times, now

Its splendour, successful and prosperous

As nature flourishes with abundance of water

Creature’s comfort, cascades of flowers and green

Have we long forgotten pain, drought and tussles?

Without infringement of museal past days pride

Without increase of footprint, founded on respect

We, the people build and built up towards the skies

With new structures around to meet, live and strive

Whilst envied by the cold, overthrown or overflown

We celebrate this golden future and its roots!

 

After study of Afrofuturism I show prosperity arising in the traditional African settlements, both symbolic as real with modern stretched over old. Full colour, as bright colors are so common in all African diaspora. Loaded with details and SNOT, it has been a true adventure to build this. A Baobab, palms, Ndebele statues, rhino, and adorned huts frame a golden Afrofuture.
