Poem by Ishakamusa Barashango

 

Kwanzaa Time is Here

Kwanzaa time is here...Harambee!
Festival of cheer during Kwanzaa
First Fruits of the year...Harambee!
Labors of Black people for a nation.

Oh, we can build a nation on justice and righteousness,
Awakening the eons of knowledge and Blackness.

Our Ancestors' here...Harambee!
Spirits drawing near for Kwanzaa
This they hold so dear...Harambee!
Pan-Afrika is their new creation.

Umoja...
Kujichagulia...
Ujima...
Na Ujamaa...
Nia...
Kuumba...
Imani...
Nguzo Saba!!!

It's Kwanzaa time!
It's Kwanzaa time!
It's Kwanzaa time!
It's Kwanzaa time!
