The African girl’s friendship thing is a strong non sexual bondage
Different worlds and different cultures meet at the Carnival
It was Claudia Jones Cumberbatch’s purpose to seek peace
In the wake of the Notting Hill riots triggered by a racist murder
Time flies, but minds ride at a snail’s pace
Culture is the whip’s crack to wake up the spirits
To break the barriers and sow the seeds of understanding
