It's Kwanzaa Time!

[Tamam Tracy Moncur]

 

Kwanzaa is here

In a time when so many people fear

Economic conditions

But the voice of Kwanzaa shouts out

Umoja Unity

God is our security!

 

Kuchichagulia – Self Determination

Know who you are

keep on pursuing your aspirations

And your dreams no matter how hard it may seem

Ujima – collective work and Responsibility

Let’s join together to rebuild our communities

 

Ujamaa-Cooperative economics

Build legitmate businesses

And don’t be fooled by tricks

And the illusions of society

Nia – Purpose

Set goals and it’s in God you must always trust

 

Kuumba – Creativity

Fill the world with joy… peace…and beauty

Imani – Faith

Believe! Never doubt

That God is awesome

And that God is great!
