The year was 1542 we were taken from our nation Sub-ject to whitemans slavery. MENTAL, PHYSICAL, AND SPIRITUAL DEGRADATION our families torn apart we mourned separation 90 days on the bottom of slave ships rats, disease, and infestation. However the situation brought about many insurrections. The Afrikan spirit rose up and showed determination The year was 1553 when I arrived at camp humiliation Little did I know that this place of toil was the camp of concentration. Traumatized by abduction, my memories swallowed by a racist suction CUP-ping my hands together, I prayed to God for protection from this inhumane situation. What I tell you now is no exaggeration my pregnant wife became a demonstration Take this time to use your visualization and see her bound to a tree. While massa whips out his frustration till out falls my .... Baby Her breast covered with milk and blood she hung in a deadened position. They forced the children to watch this violation of God's Gift- The Hue-man Creation. Forced to forget our language and land our spiritual connection. Whole generations lost to mental devastation. Many years later massa spoke of some constitution I just wanted to know would it end forced prostitution So I stepped up to massa and asked "does dis mean we's free?" He said "boy did I mention 3 fifths a man you be?" Years later came this so called promise of emancipation some kind of proclamation So at night we prayed to God in Holy anticipation But it didn't stop there there was more exploitation. We fought for our freedom and another mans nation. United we stood, divided we crawled for separation was the motto. A Civil war we fought for y'all. Before the war we were promised forty acres and a mule But that was a verbal masturbation by some politician fool Now you may or may not know there was never any retribution 300 plus years of slavery has now become an institution This is no exaggeration simply realization. Much later Dr. King marched for equality, and integration Hoping to solidify some type of race relation. We got some basic civil rights Dr. King got assassination. In the same era Malcolm X spoke of liberation and black mis-education Giving us an identification no more assimilation. Through him I found man hoods salvation But like Martin he too was taken by assassination From Watts to Jersey we saw flames of frustration No longer seeking white social affirmation. The Black Panthers brought to this era a plan for Revolution. Black Power was the motto self determination was the solution. As Edgar Gay Hoover sat in contemplation he created counter intelligence to destroy this organization More leaders died due to government infiltration. This is no speculation I speak words with documentation then try self evaluation. It's 1997 I've seen slaves go through evolution chains on our feet, to chains on our brains Now mental revolution is all that remains!
***GERONIMO--FREE AT LAST--TIS A BEAUTIFUL THING!!!*** FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS!!!
