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

My Life



I`d like to tell you my story
If you don`t mind
I won`t charge you a dollar
Or ask you for a coin

I`d like to tell you
How much I’ve been blind
Failing to see opportunities
From time to time

I`d like to share with you
My life of regrets
Wishing I could go back
And rearrange certain aspects

There is never a time
I don`t feel alone
Under-achieving and overgrown

My regular glance at the past
Caused me to lose focus
Of a future that is
Soon to pass


Who am I?
I often ask myself
Afraid to look in the mirror
Or I might see
Someone else

I looked for a change
But what should I expect
When the wheels of my life
Are running retrospect
