Black In Time

Let`s go black in time
Come with me black to history
Black to the mother land
Where we rightfully belong
Black in time before the Europeans
Tried to whitewash our
Skins and minds
Black to the kingdom and ancestry
Black, way black before slavery

Black am I
Not just the color of my skin
The pupil of my eyes or the hair on my head
But black at heart, black in my thinking
And black in my thoughts

Black in time
Black my story, every sentence, every line
Black every rhythm and every rhyme
Black the days on their slave ships
Heading across the ocean lines
Black the shackles and the chains
Black the whips that cut our veins
Black the blood that stained the lands
Black the heart of every whiteman
Black the husbands and the wives
Black the circumstances which changed our lives
Black the mother and the father
Black the separation from each other

Black, black, black, black
Black the struggles and the fights
Black the system which took away
our rights
Black the midnights we tried to make
our run
Black the rope on the tree that hung the ones
Who wish to be free

Black, black, black, black
Let`s go black and turn the world around
Let`s take black our civilization
Every continent and every nation
Let`s take black the white man`s dominion
Let`s take black our rightful rulership
No more subjection under
The whiteman`s dictatorship
Let`s black out the pages
of the white man`s days
And attribute the praises
to the black liberal race

Black my eyes and the things they see
Black the vision of those who preceded me
Black Marcus, Selassie and Mandela
Black Obama and the Christ
Black the life I live because of their sacrifice

Gun

I don`t need a gun
To make me have fun
It is Jah himself who keeps my life
so I don`t need a gun to
Stay alive

Don`t bring it to me
Keep it away from my family
Don`t even mention attention
Because I don`t need a gun
To be a man

You come with lies
Pretend as if you don`t hear
All those families’ cries
Don`t you see the tears
in those children`s eyes
Don`t you feel the pain
You are heading down
A dark lane
and the life you live
will just be in vain

You are murderer
You are a monster
you are a robber
you are a destroyer
you are a predator
what else so demeaning
Can I use
to describe someone with
No regard for life
for family and children
Husband and wife


I dear not grow weary
when I ask Jehovah
to guide me
For I know not when
I`ll stumble upon
The hand with a mind to terminate me

This tool
This machine
This material that is
Driving our society crazy

I want nothing to do with it
I want no one to associate with me
If you are familiar in any way with it
For I don`t need it
I don`t want it
My life is better off without
A gun

Aren`t You Women?

Aren`t you women

Weren`t you loved and

Cared for by those you called family

How dare they be grieved?

How dare they ask you

To leave?

To not be a part of

This society, your family

You have every right

Like most of us do

How dare they treat you

The way they do

You are a mother, a sister

The mistress of a mister

You are the root of a tree

You were given lives

So you may give life

So who dare interfere with

God`s flow of life

You are strong

Your strength is

uncontestable

You are smart

But they say you are not sociable

Aren`t you humans?

And if they treat you

Like animals

Aren`t we all God`s creatures

You look sad

But tears is a language

God understands

So clear your eyes

Of the tears

Throw them on the ground

Throw them at the dehumanizers

Throw them here, there

And everywhere

Some day you will find peace, so be strong

Because it won`t be long

They will want to smile

With you

They will want to hug you, touch you

And know who you are

But pity their feeble minds

If they don`t remember

That you were that little girl, that woman

One who was never cared for, loved

Or accepted to be a part of

A family

In their neglectful society

What If Life Was A Dream

I never wanted to open

My eyes

To this cruel world of reality

Because every time

I’m awake

I felt like something has been stolen from me

Going to sleep each night

Is like going on an adventure

Like surfing the

World Wide Web

And nothing is censored

What if life was a dream?

What if you could live

That one blissful moment forever

What if the happiness

And the joy

Never cease to exist

Then you could live your life

Just as if you were sleeping

Last night

I Was A Tree

I was a tree without leaves

I bear no fruit

Struggling from a youth

Searching for the truth

The ground was hallow

I had no roots

Neither was there any route

That could lead me

To the truth

I suffered and toiled

For some fresh clean soil

I felt separated from

My environment

Like water and oil

Nobody knew me

They pass me everyday

Standing in the wind

Side to side I sway

I watched them tasted of other`s fruit

In which they found delight

But I knew deep down that

 I would blossom

When the time is right

Within me was a heart

That never dies

With hope and a firm belief

I persevered through

life`s fight

It was a day when

No one was here

Someone transplanted me

In a different atmosphere

I felt as though I was growing all over

The burden of life was lifted from my shoulder

It was my season

And it shows

As old leaves fade away

Fresh, bright, green ones started to grow

To their amazement

They looked up at me

With awe

The sight of my fruitfulness strained their eyes

And a longing for my taste

Erupted in their stomach

Surprise and mystery filled their minds

And they wondered from whence

Came a tree of my kind

But it was I who was always standing here

I was the one you showed no care

But now all my despair

Have been repaired
