As I pause, poised on the brink
from this Pherian Spring deep to drink
my shaky knees and weak feet
please hearken to my heartbeat
beseeching to achieve this feat
to cross over frustration’s pit
into much success great and fit
a long, long wait it is, Mother
no one seems to understand either
I can’t take a drink too shallow
inspirations, hunches to follow
please tell them all to mellow
drink shallow I grow more thirsty
Academia is a trick so much testy
on this threshold I stretch my arm
Mother, a long way from home I am

INDIGENOUS AFRICAN CULTURAL DIVERSITY
You are welcome to the official website of DELATROPHY which is an aphorism of a representative promotion of the rich African cultural heritage. This site attempts to showcase art and culture as the totality of the idiosyncrasy of the African people. It attempts to paint a representative picture of intricacies of the traditions of divers indigenous beliefs, aspirations and worldview of the African people. Above all, this site attempts to promote the preservation of the rich African identity and heritage that is being threatened by cultural erosion through years of slavery, colonization, decolonization and imperialistic tendencies of different foreign cultures.
It is believed that the vision of this great feat can not be single handedly achieved by this site from this humble beginning hence contributions, advice and patronage is welcome from all well wishers and concerned citizens of African descents to add colours, expertise, flavours of intellect, and diversity to complete the unifying entity that can give a true representative picture of such vast ideals of this venture.
