BLACK...

BLACK…

“I have a dream…!”

The sound of freedom through the mouth of a fighter;

He only sought a good life for offspring of his color; but

They murdered Martin Luther King Jr. with a bullet of silence. (1968)

Cover my body, please…!

Unheard tears of Sarah Baartman;

She was forced naked, assaulted and rendered worthless;

Just because she was endowed, France brought her down. (1815)

George Stinney was a teen;

Wrongly convicted for murder at fourteen;

Blacked out on an electric chair, that was mean;

Seven decades past before they found out he was clean. (1944)

“No we can’t be slaves…!”

Haunting wails at Igbo landing;

Seventy five black souls self-drowned their ship;

To escape being tortured by cruel slave masters. (1803)

The world’s bests pay tribute to his dexterity;

He was magical with the ball, literally; but

They denied him the crown cos his skin was taunting;

Austin Jay Jay Okocha; Yes a living legend.

Oh Africa! Why does your color torment you?

Your substances beautify the earth but it cheats you;

You make breaking discoveries but they ditch you;

The stars you nurture are being shot down.

…

This is a BLACK RACE EVOLUTION;

With my pen, I do stand on the forefront of this mission;

To liberate my color, culture and continent;

I am BLACK and a PROUD solider for this course…
