Happy Kwanzaa, Day 5, Kuumba (Creativity)
A feast of celebrating the seven days, the seven principle of Kwanzaa
Christmas, Thanksgiving special family days
New Year’s day, many celebrate their way
unlike Kwanzaa that teaches
all hearts whom ear it reaches
principles to begin, you now hear
lessons to prevail throughout the year
making a difference far and wide
making integrity, your inward guide
with Umoja, unity, for all
Kujichagulia, self determination, making the call
Ujima, collective work and responsibility, time to stand tall
Ujamaa, cooperative economics, share your goods
Nia, purpose, set the example like you should
Kuumba, creativity, individually and group too
Imani, faith, fulfilling everyday like glue.
