LIFE IS ALL ABOUT THE LITTLE GESTURES THAT MAKE YOU SMILE FROM WITHIN....ITS ALL ABOUT THE TIME YOU SPARE IN NO TIME....
YOUR DEEDS AIN'T PROVED YOUR WORDS...
MY OWN EXISTENCE DEMAND SELF CENTRICITY AND THENCE I MOVED AWAY..
BROKEN HEART,FABRICATED SMILE,DEEP BREATHS INCARNATED TO ASSIMILATE STRENGTH WITHIN ME...
THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN REAL AND REEL ENLIGHTENED MYSELF...
THOUGH I MISS YOU AMIDST ALL...
I LOVE TO BE ALOOF FAR FROM YOU FOREVER AND EVER
I am colonization personified.
The foundation of my being,
my language of thought,
belongs not to those ancestors
whose blood now feeds my freedom,
but to the slave master
whose oppressive bark echoes deep within my mind.
I am colonization personified.
my strengths have died
as I have tried
with Afro centricity exemplified
to show my mother;
whose eyes cry
as they scan the horizon
and leave her with a sigh,
that in her smile
Afrika will never lie.
I am colonization personified.
Read these words
and see this as true.
