[hometext] => I wrote this poem just to tell all people of color that they inspire me
[bodytext] => could but for a while pretend that I AM not black,under privileged,unfairly documented in history That my ancestor were slaves since the beginning of vasco da gama but I could again pretend That I am white, born with privileged genes, long smooth hair with blue eyes I could even convince myself that the world does not judge my intellect based on the colour of my skin Better yet I refuse, I'd rather stop pretending and start reclaiming the strength of my ancestors, acknowledging their genius my ancestors existed in Egypt and gave the world Science, Mathematics, Astrology. They build Pyramids that spoke to the stars long before the western world could spell ARCHI-TEC-TURE! I should state claim to the throne of Solomon and Be in ore of Queen Sheba I should fight to rebuild the ruins of the land of Cush(Ethiopia) and state claim to the Nile river, the Euphrates and all major rivers connected to the Nile. My people maybe misrepresented in history books, but our voices are loudly heard in the towers of conscious spirituality, in the corridors supreme knowledge of science and Medicine! No pretending anymore I am who I am because of my people!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
