The Retro Nubian Futuristic Afro Story
ONCE UPON A TIME ……….all these truths are self evident…..
Lost in found in the search to uncover me
Remembering my past to blow up my future
One time I was peace and unified in nature
Living in tribes structured by families
Villages of shared thought bred my harmony
As we all sung the songs worshipping unity
….all these truths are self evident…..
Deities were represented and did enforce taboos
Most important we were the masters and followers too
Taught to only feed when there is a need
Never wanting to gorge out and siphon our own society
Sure their were classes and everyone learned to get along
Roles were assigned and hierarchy designed from elders
Through this tight association, birthed known civilization
….all these truths are self evident…..
Wars were fought against savages and nomads periodically
As civilized warriors fought and defended our unit of society
Thankfully skirmishes were temporary and over rather quickly
Then one day the witchdoctor predicted a terrible upheaval
Men would come from a foreign land with foreign features
On this day, ways of living would change for millennia s
As peace was replaced with strife and feudal laws of might
Determined by taking instead of trading and sharing…..
….all these truths are self evident…..
Children were removed and mothers were raped,
As our known society did collapse from this familiar break
We became slaves of chattel, guilt ridden rationalized inhumans
Forced to toil and cultivate the birth of nation, forced procreate
Adept and at home was our truest nature we did perform
As well as the others whose nature of adept was in exploitation
….all these truths are self evident…..
From a forced evolution in our bonded generations, hybridity ensued
Raged from lack of estates in plantation, low esteem did seed
Survival reigned as adapting to change added to a legendary adeptness
Progress was slow over a few centuries, as this land sown became our home
Structures of familiarity carried down although subjugated constantly
….all these truths are self evident…..
Within the last century freedom came purportedly for free from masters
Sadly the greatest price for freedom came at the cost of knowing history
As we now walk around lost in a land of fools, trying to belong too
Migrating from parts south to the north to get ahead, but now left for dead
As patty-rollers continue to discriminate under the guise of effective policing
Incarcerating bodies of Nubians in zoos for feeding the chaos of feudal anarchy
As we now are under the false creed of everyman, woman and child for self
As we try to catch the wealth as being worthy to worship as our Lord and Masta
Only increasing the hypocrisy of our existence in a land of the free and brave?
….all these truths are self evident…..
Now we exist as neo-negros on a futuristic tip of slipping into surrounding darkness
Ushering in the concave of our rights to equality for sake of showmanship or popularity
Who notices that disrespect and neglect bestowed on our shared society universally
I pray for back in the days to be reinvigorated into the gift of good still in present
As we ensure that our families will be able to see better tomorrows bathed in light
Who AM I?
(Smile)….Why I’m self-evidence……(smile)
I’m repping futuristic equality from last nights’ retro reactivated Nubian Way,
Bringing about a dawn of a new nature in man!
EVERLASTING PEACE….all these truths shall be self evident…..
