Val Brooklyn Rogers Blk Panther Poet Free verse

Call Me What I Am

Call me what I am!!
Do not call me NI**ER !!
Call WE Niger 
Call We Nigerian 
Call  WE  AFRICAN!!
Call We dirty! Yeah! Right!
Call we mud people.
We came from the earth.
We are dusty. 
We know our worth!
We came first!
WE AFRICA!! RISE!!
WE ANCIENT  EGYPTIANS!!
ANCESTORS  RISE!!
