They Would Be Wise Today

If Africans were enslaved that time bought, sold as goods and maimed carried away to work as ancient robots they would be wise today If Africans were colonized that time harassed, robbed, some ancestors deleted and wealth looted to build cities, metropolis they would be wise today If Africans were racially segregated that time not allowed to enjoy rights of humans and blocked from political activities abroad they would be wise today Africans, who do you think will respect you? Who will take you serious as the neo-colonized? Who will protect your resources in the land? Where have you thrown that history of shame? Life you live today, good or questionable was built on the corpse of struggle, abuse on ruins of those who resisted unfairness Heroes of yesteryear are restless in tombs Think not about tomorrow, today Eat all tomorrow, today -with comfort Posterity will forgive you -worry not today you are mortgaging fatherland That which is lost is will be gotten back
