God’s love created mortal man at sea
and gave him only a fine dragnet
but he swam ashore without fins
God became angry and in his rage
carried him to the topmost mountain
again man descended without wings
man now climbs molehills alone
and takes Icarus plunges home
but sustains mortal wounds
in the neck and in the heart
as the sun slowly melts his wings
made of seashells and lion hackles
Man, I salute your crafty freewill
but you must also be careful of height
and dizzy flights near abysmal pits
lest you get lost in the labyrinths
or sucked through the hole you dug
in the ozone layer to shield the sun

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.
