if life
would imagine
it to be
i am
a prophet
a vagabond
t

into a crevasse
of
ultimate
mass preplexity

swallowed by
voices of conscienceness
and
hiccuped by reasoning
as screams of blueprints
splatter the night sky
howling
to the crescent moon
to shine brightly
as i watch
protect
and
guide
caterpillars
from this nightmare
called
slavery

as i sprinkle seasoning on your spirit
and
other ingredients for this recipe
we will be rescued
from this one-dimensional society
to
reclaim our birthright
as i stir
to populate
a
kaleidoscope
of
indigenous kings
and
queens
cultivated
from the appleseeds
of
ignorance
oppression
and
mental imprisonment

i know you're probably wondering
how will we rebuild
such
a
nation
in this present day
of
mass confusion
and
self-hatred
for
oneself
which is normally
disguised as
american racial melodrama
experienced by our
nubian brothas
and
sistahs
decended
from the lost tribe of shabazz

we will fight for alliance
and
percipitate all forms of elitism
to educate minds
through history
knowledge
and
dreamweaving
sequences
that
backflip to replay
the beatings
the rapes
the degradation
and
lynchings
our ancestors
suffered
for 400 years
and
then some

forget about those reparations
from the u.s. government
we ain't never got our "40 acres and a mule"
or
an apology
as we waited for
community rehabiliation
in tha hood

in case you haven't noticed
we've been fouled
and
have been granted
one "free throw"

waaake up!
listen
pay attention
this is not "checkout the waterfountain time!"
it's time for you to take a stand
and
recognize that
we now have choices
and
decisions to make
in our life
that could ultimately
create a paradoxical universe
of
moral obligations
accepted
leading us unto a path
of
rightousness
progressiveness
and
humanity

that choice starts within you
and
we will continue the legacy
of
malcolm x
and
dr. martin luther king, jr.
whose philosophies
and
dreams
were set in motion
but
became "a dream deferred"
