Africans Knew

Africans sailed the ocean blue
Long before Columbus knew.
Columbus was misconstrued
And some of his crew had a clue.
How did the Africans know
Where they set sail?
Was it coincidence
Or were they willing to fail?
Africans discovered this land,
And this is the truth of the tale.
They decided it was too cold,
So they set sail
To avoid the wind and hail.
They journeyed around the world
Before many of them were up for sale.
Remember your Her/History
Create some poetry.
You have the minds of Kings, Queens and Geniuses
In your legacy.
