Black Man, listen!
Not all road leads to the white house of the world,
Not all that  shines like the stars are gold to the eyes.
Not all mouth that smiles is ready to do good things,
Make hay while the sun shine, there is no Exra Time.
There is no Extra- time; time is important, save it.



Black Man, Listen!
Not everything that the eyes see is good to behold,
Nor the first to see that get the best of a thing seen.
You must work with yourself, you must know and know and re-know, and learn; re-learn not in a hurry.
You are only responsible for yourself, no one can lift you up when you are down except you in you.



Black Man, Listen!
Follow not all the words that proceed from their mouths, if you do; you will fall and they will laugh, and still laugh without anyone to pull you up again.
You are your own man, man your man and, head the head that head your head in their heads before you die with shame and frustration caused by them.



Black Man, Listen!
The whites are not your gods but they are exploiters,
Mind your journey with them, becareful of their faces!
From the beginning they made us slaves and we walk in their plantations naked but not ashamed; because we know not what shame and shyness means in the eyes.
Our fathers, they brain washed to the core, and they danced along with them with empty brains.



Black Man, listen!
You have been bitten before and never allow it again,
Know yourself, black man, know thy self in yourself.
Do not misbehave in their presence to be laughed at,
Do not go gently into that silent night, if you do, doom shall accompany you to the grave to torment you.



Black Man, Listen!
Do not be weary!
Do not be frustrated!
Do not be confused!
KNOW THY SELF!
NO EXTRA TIME!
No more silent, SPEAK OUT!



Black Man, Listen!
You are the world and the world is you in the world,
Don't be tired than hungry itself because your life is the world in its form, existence and evolution.
Do not compromise with their resources, know thy self!
