  "Before my version begins to fade, 
  Let me relieve what happened today. 
  Today was not a lifetime of discrimination and shame, 
  But of celebration as a black man living in Ukraine." 
  - culled from the EPIGRAPH 
  A brave and explorative Artisan 
  Calm exterior but he was born a warrior 
  A Leon not bothered about territory 
  A Leon who hunted alone. 
  And a Leon who hurt alone. 
  With a free prefrontal cortex, he came prepared for learning... 
  And learn he did, as his memory campus would get soiled with complex realities. 
  In my first anatomy tour, all I saw were dry cadavers, 
  But by the end of my tenure, I saw my own fresh blood. 
  No tribal marks but you can tell he started out with an Afro. 
  And in this foreign soil, explorations were his special dish. 
  To-and-fro he evolved... and no, he didn't hail from the safari. 
  From a genial ark but he always kept his wits about him. 
  And when he stepped out, he was like a fresh aphrodisiac. 
  Through his eyes, you could hear all of his favorite tunes. 
  Black vanilla at his core as he had a thing for interfacing. 
  General with a stylus brush, 
  Hankie forever in the back pocket. 
  Like his paws, his heart appears four-chambered, 
  But on closer inspection, you see a fifth chamber a short distance away from the rest. 
  A blind Cub walking in the midst of hyenas, 
  With lesions so deep, they suffocated him where it hurt most. 
  The pages are filled with art and expression, 
  As I relive this once-in-a-lifetime experience... 
  Which shaped me into the man I am today.

  Songhai Empire - The Largest...

  The Songhai people trace their origins to the fertile banks of the Niger River, an area that has supported human settlement and civilization for thousands of years. Their early history is closely tied to the region of Gao, which would later become the heart of one of Africa’s most powerful empires. The Niger River provided the necessary resources for agriculture, fishing, and trade, enabling the growth of organized communities that would form the foundation of Songhai society. 
  The earliest known inhabitants of the region were the proto-Songhai, who are believed to have settled along the Niger River as early as the first millennium CE. These people were primarily farmers, herders, and fishermen, utilizing the rich floodplains of the river to cultivate crops and sustain livestock. Over time, they developed a distinct cultural identity, characterized by their language, traditions, and spiritual beliefs. Their society was structured around small communities led by local chieftains, who governed based on kinship ties and communal customs. 
  Gao, the most significant early settlement of the Songhai people, emerged as a crucial trading hub by the eighth century. Arab and Berber merchants, who traveled along the trans-Saharan trade routes, recognized its strategic importance as a commercial center. The exchange of goods such as gold, salt, ivory, and kola nuts attracted traders from North Africa and beyond, integrating Gao into the wider economic networks of the region. As commerce flourished, the settlement expanded, and its rulers gained influence by controlling trade and forming alliances with neighboring peoples.
