DIALOGUE
PREFACE:
It was the dawn of a new day;
knowledge and truth sought and given.
As I gave, so was I again taught.
(Ask, and it shall be given)
Student:
“Teacher, same said Egypt ina Africa
lak ina de Bible?”
Teacher:
“Same said Egypt, son;
same said Africa.”
(Seek, and you shall find)
Student:
“But Teacher,
dem neva tell we
dat, Sah.”
(By night they stole us; by day they maimed our minds)
Teacher:
“I know son;
But we now teach ourselves”
our story.”
Student:
“Ah true, Teacher; ah true.
Dis day be a new day dat’a com.”
(Truth, trampled to the ground, always rises)
POSTSCRIPT:
Free your mind and you are;
but like butterflies, be aware
of the rain.
(The truth shall set you free)
