growing Diminishingly

Racism and Classism. No matter how much we talk about it, I doubt it will go away [soon]. I’m resolving to quit the rant on how badly blacks have had it — scratch that; being specific — how badly Africans have had it.

Yesterday I was in discussion with some fellow Africans discussing the cause of Africa’s backwardness and of course there where the obvious reasons. The question that lingered on my mind was, when will we young Africans start taking little pragmatic steps to curing our continent.

I sure will keep making mine, and again, I’m forced to flash-back:

They called on the Slave Masters
Slave drives – no brainer
Another ‘real’ identity misunderstood
Real Classism
Making them plutocrats – a rule over the non-visible

What happened to the race?
What happened to the grace?

Why not a mourn for our phase…

A ruler turned servants – forget the physical, think the psych-sense
Ignorance and our knowledge
For our kids -
Ignorance multiplied
I see them everywhere:
No hope
No Dream
No Life
turned real trash
Would we blame the white one?
That’s another hallucinating

Oh…That was just my a bad dream…

Oops…

It’s no dreaming
“D” said the savior was black
The lineage was black,
And the pride is black
What now, Where is this Black?

Not for the Media
Not the Pop’ Culture
Not the Hypes
Not the Stereotypical representation
Not another Low Expectation

We’ve been made with our envy in their eyes

We made them build the pyramid;
Once again, we can make them take in this pride

Not sagged pants or high lips
Not cursed rants or vague pursuit
Not stereotype fittings or loose focus

For our right focus -
Not the Slave Masters or the Slave driven
We are the Masters
