This music video was scripted with Suno AI website using one of my poems, We Are Architects of Our Own Plight. The music video vividly portrays the self-imposed struggles of Africans, urging a deep introspection to change destructive habits and mindsets. It contrasts the beauty of foreign lands like Dubai’s gleaming streets and London’s historic lanes with the stagnation of inaction, symbolized by “clasp hands between our thighs, awaiting miracles.” The music critiques misplaced priorities, such as favoring entertainment over progress and undervaluing local resources, as seen in the preference for “foreign chicken.” It highlights a cycle of greed, disunity, and self-doubt, lamenting the loss of faith in African identity, represented by “losing faith in our black skin.” With a stern yet hopeful tone, the music calls for a transformative shift toward gratitude, hard work, and collective growth, challenging Africans to believe in themselves and embrace unity as the foundation for meaningful change. I hope you enjoy it!
