African Origins. I revel, remembering that I had lived in Africa, Teaching, but also living amongst its people And other indigenous creatures. I have also paid visit to the Leakeys' Olduvai, Where our species' origin may have arisen. Being there for a time, overwhelmed the spirit And edified the incredible realization of our origins-- The Sistine Chapel in the Serengeti Plains, Situated deep in a gorge of the Great Rift Valley.
