melanated
segregated
blackspotted
sold bought and branded
burdened with negritude
all memories of preethiopic epic power hidden
being forbidden
at the white wolfs bidding
race of seekers with no findings
mere
pockets of joy
seeds broken on arid ground
deserted by water gods, storm-gods and sky gods
burnt by the Sun
high hopers singed by the crack of dawn and pipe and coke, dope, moonshine
blacklisted race of nobles
erased from civilization
forced to submission
to strange deities
whose bodies we imbibe enmasse
yet we are impeached and hated for the hell of it
bedevilled benighted
melanated
soil of the word
Soul of the world
Earths firstborn
whose blood nourishes the bitter-sweet fruit
of existence
who and what made you black?
how long is it necessary for you to stay black
stay black ....
