"I was born with no name,
No class, just a skin colour to define me.
To define my ills, my defects, my ever filling cup of misdeeds.
My very own breath dreads the old coloured world"
"I'm forever wanted
For a crime I may never commit
For a life I'm supposedly unworthy to live
Just because I made a decision to keep me going
Nothing is better than impossible made easy"
But, then I turn to my own to lend me a hand,
And find out alas the truth is ….
I stopped fighting.
I stopped hating.
I started thinking.
Goodness me! my own skin taunts me !!
How can I evolve when I hate me ?
How can I shine when I prefer to die unused ?
What misery !
Great mystery.
No wonder this rave seems endless.
The juice lost its taste years ago,
Even before the nameless child was born.
I want my name back.
The good news of my motherland.
The love of a brother and the hug from a sister.
We are a vital part of this world.
We are never to be forgotten.
Lets make that our agenda.
In life, we will win only when we choose to fight the right battle.
No more likes or shares or demons well hidden under the garment of cowardice.
Time to rise up and stop making excuses.
Lets make us important !!
Just an example to prove my point.
They rose up from the ashes,
2 or 3 decisions and didn't ask for an opinion,
Migrating and lending the world a solution.
Xiaomi or iPhone,
Tiktok or Facebook,
China or USA,
Not even corona can take their mandarin away
Most face masks are made in China !!
Yet Africa is a land filled with great kings.
Great tribes, great lands and full of the necessary.
But, corruption, tribalism and self racism keep us from doing the needful.
The dollar bill in the wrong camp keeps us from developing our very own !!
Don't tell me they hate you.
Don't remind me of the painful life our ancestors lived.
Stop playing the victim's card when its convenient and learn to be the indispensable.
Show me that their sufferings meant something to you.
Let our worth speak !!
