Diallo’s Test­a­ment by Ben Okri Who can read the riddle of life In this por­trait of mine? I am one on whom provid­ence Has worked its magic reversals. Behind me are silent stor­ies Like a storm. I have worn His­tory round my neck like chains. Free­dom is a dif­fi­cult les­son to learn. I have tasted the lan­guage of death Till it became the water of life. I have shaped a little my can­vas of time. I have crossed seas of fires And seen with these African eyes The one light which neither empires Nor all the might of men obscure. Man is the sick­ness, God the cure. https://youtube/watch?v=s0PHE9_V34E
