I came from the green and leaves
Sand, water and mud
Hide, thick like Loxodonta Africana
Skin, black like the infinite abyss
Years dusted away with the beast
Out west, a man without a mission changes
I came from the forgotten places
A little past the the now bleeding Congo
where end time dragons pester and plunder
.
full circle when you recollect
Of wood and sugar
Across the desert, they came
Face slapped with an imported cross
..
Two ancient horned beasts
leading the blind to the valley for slaughter
white robe floating on elevated water
Destroying my own pigment
While exporting my own heart
false narrative
twisted tongue
Mind castrated
herstory forsaken
The land of the big waves ridden
with cancer
…
The taste of black for so long
in the world tasted bitter
No one cares for us
Souls scattered across the Atlantic
….
Now,
I seek mine and mine only
Culture belonging to me
Lands inherited from oral history
