I speak of the one who was formed from a fetish foundation ,
Firmly footed on full foolishness
Until he was found and transformed from his former format
Of been faultless and flawless
I speak of the one who was seen as a baggage
Moved from the AFRICAN land through America like a package
Some strangled and stranded as slaves in a destitution cage
Like a wild savage
A true definition of absolute brutality
But how dare you question their integrity
Besides you belong to a primitive society
(Sigh).. what a Savage!
O speak of the one who has been tagged,
I mean , I mean with some kind of antagonized label
A label unable to portray their true identity
Forgetting that DNA can not be regulated by FDA
I speak of the one whose origin is of Rich potential
I speak of the one who is loyal and faithful to his every duty
Flawless in plenty
Faultless never guilty
I speak of the BLACK (wide smile)
I speak of the BLACK ( slow)
The one whose blackness is strength, power and authority
Symbolizes Elegance and prestige
Representing an overwhelming strong emotion
I mean Peace
I speak of You and I
US
We are enough Yes!
I am enough
I light up every room because
I am more than a star
I am a legend (like Mansa Musa)
I hold the records of the world
Like the records of Guinness
I am made of BLACK
……laugh)
But , I was told it sounds like history
……laugh intimating ))
Although it’s not funny
Nooo .not at all
I was asked to shut up
Keep mute and sit down
This hits hard
Our lives shutter
Our minds have been closed we cannot flip a new chapter
Or could this be a black rapture!!!
Because they continue to dictate to us what we should learn and teach
What to do and preach
Slavery was abolished
It was published through the insight, the CNN ,BBC ,I mean the news
But the headlines I’m reading shows that , that is far from the truth
Because we are still captives to our skin colors , colors non of us can choose
They say repeation is the definition of Insanity
So what is that saying
Because this has been happening since the Genesis
But if Brutality in the Western world has been tagged and given a name like Racism
Then BLACK,??
why then allow our own self to be treated like second class citizens of the world
The solution to the mistreatment of Africa is the hands of the African..
But what if the Black knew that he will be desired by others only if he desired himself
That beauty is not about skin color, shape but a mindset
And the best indicator of it is self confidence
What if the Black knew that his lips are beautiful and does not need to hold them in
Make them thin
And that, the Nose are not meant to be pointed ,but to help him breath
And what If the black knew, that the eyes were not meant to be perfect , to be White as snow
But to help you see, and if you can see black man it’s perfect
And then what if the Black knew that to be retched is a culture
Defined by a Black ancestor
Whose skin was black in color and speech be any kind of clue from slang to misplaced grammar such creativity ,why does it matter
What if the black knew that modernization is leading us back to colonization
we can create a better Africa and make racism a history
By not listening to their views
For we are not too old to be new
Nor empty to be full
We are not too static to be moved
So be a message to nation’s and states
The world is like a picture we are the frame
We have an identity Africa is our name
Together let us rise into fame
Because even the W.H.O doesn’t have solutions to every disease they name.
