The Anthem of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation

The superb Afrikan soul has forever given thanks unto the Creator Supreme for all the beauty that is. By divine extension, every generation of beautiful Afrikan souls enshrines the grand continuum of their people by honouring those that came before them as the batten of eternal elevation is forever passed from each superlative epoch to the next. Part of the honorarium or remembrance flow is the inherent theme of thankfulness. Giving thanks unto the Great Ancestors is a firm part of the forward and upward thrust of this marvellous people. For spirit is everlasting and the great ones that were in the physical continue to be – powerfully energising life in the present. As those in the present excellently and forthrightly express their Great Ancestor-energised life to become Great Ancestors themselves. Thus the cycle of ever-upward ascendancy is secured in the Afrikan way. Giving thanks is a part of life that can be punctuated, energised or inspired in many ways including that of creative expression. To give thanks for Afrikan ascendancy is to live life in accordance with and in the furtherance of the grand effort of those from the divine first of humanity from which the batten has come. The Kiswahili phrase for thank you very much or thanks much is Asante Sana.
During the vicious Maafa of recent centuries the wicked forces of anti-Afrikan agency have attempted to bogusly skew the natural thankfulness embedded in the Afrikan way. Through torturous horrors and genocidal manipulations Afrikan people were compelled to ‘thank’ the so-called master of the plantation in vile ways. This fed into the bogus, foul and psychopathic notion that Afrikan people were rescued from some sort of imagined self ‘savagery’ with the advent of enslavement, colonisation, globalisation or whatever perverted enemy endeavour. The idea that, ‘whatever the master gives you, you must take it’, is a theme that continues to be imposed upon Afrikan life throughout the arenas of enemy control in everything from work to leisure.
Thankfully (in the real and natural progressive spirit of Afrikan thankfulness), great ones have led the way to reveal, energise and inspire much amongst the great spirit ones of Creation. For once the Afrikan can realise his or her true natural and divine self the path to ultimate self-determination becomes clear. Self-governance of Afrikan souls is essential for the restoration of righteous upon the earth. One such great one is the exceptional hero Omowale Malcolm X for whom the cultural observance of Omowale Malcolm X Kukumbuko is realised in the thank you of remembrance.
It is for this for this reason that the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN) was launched publically as a part of the Omowale Malcolm X Kukumbuko observance gathering of the year 2013 (so-called) having been established during the observance of Musa Msimu of the previous year. Amongst much else, this is a living thank you for continual Afrikan ascendancy.
It is fitting then to share a creative expression composed by this author as a gift of eternal thank you, at the time of remembrance of great hero Omowale Malcolm X and anniversary of URAN’s launch. This is a holistic Afrikan thank you to the Creator Supreme and all the Great Ancestors of Afrikan ascendancy. It is a thank you to all those that have genuinely given of themselves as members or supporters of URAN and to all who fight for global Afrikan ascendancy. It is a thank you to those most close this author and their deep and undying love for this magnificent first people of Creation.
This Creative expression is the Anthem of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation entitled U.R.A.N. It is an anthem of a living thankfulness for continual Afrikan ascendancy and Afrikan self love. It has been inspired with the intent to inspire for the eternal uplift of magnificent Afrikan spirit. Voiced in the openness of live instrumentation, It’s lyrics are as follows and can be listened to online by clicking here:

This author, in the purity of Afrikan love – Thanks you. Asante Sana. As the observance of Omowale Malcolm X Kukumbuko concludes let the Afrikan spirit continue to rise throughout the interwoven cycles of cultural calendar observances.
Omowale Malcolm X Kukumbuko is a restorative spiritual and cultural observance providing a vehicle for Afrikan people to live their own way of life in the now and in time to come. This progressively reflective and projective observance period has its own symbol set and is a part of the cultural calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN). The 21st February 1965 (so-called) is the date of the martyrdom of this great hero and the URAN gathering for Kukumbuko takes place on Sunday 21st February (or nearest Sunday) on an annual basis.
A wonderful way to make the Afrikan remembrance continuum fabric of life is to become a part of an organ for Afrikan ascendancy. The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN) is an Afrikan-centred spiritual and cultural mission for ascendancy that embodies living spiritually and culturally rooted life.
