Twenty years ago,


the Black psychologist Amos Wilson,
watched with great worry the community he
loved so dearly sway almost helplessly to the
mainstream beat of tokenism and what might
be called Tomism. As crack raged
uncontrolled throughout the Black Ghettos,
desperate parents capable of relocating their
children to safer, usually white areas, did so,
instructing their newly migrated seeds to
learn, live and work within their adopted
communities, without looking back to the
circumstances they were fleeing.
Wilson, concerned, two decades filled
with government sponsored drug infestation
and government sanctioned police
intimidation had led to a cooling attitude
amongst the younger Black generation,
observed pointedly that this new generation
had been placed into a state of apathy and
complacency as the elder generation, battle
hardened and fatigued by the merciless
assault waged against them by the white
establishment, had surrendered the grounds
they inhabited whilst their flame still burned
and the wreckage left by the assault remained
recognizably shattered.
He implored the generations to bring
forward again the thundering call to arms
once echoing throughout their communities,

Liberations Calling, An Ancestral Voice Come to Pass


insisting such directives, propelling Militant, Radical and Revolutionary actions into
our consciousness, though uneasily caste and even more uneasy to accept as an
actuating force, was necessary to save the people from a death spiral from which
recovery would become nearly impossible. Though unpopular at the time, he
reasoned aloud the speculations and rebuffs his critical examiners might lob at him,
siting the optical illusion caste from the mightiest seats of power throughout this
country as the first hurdle to overcome, an optical illusion projecting progress
through displaying ceremoniously black faces in high places, offering such images
as proof negating such soul indicting, soul inciting calls to return to Revolutions
Mandates and Militant Radical disciplines.
His words are eerily prescient today, speaking more stringently to a newer
generation pre-occupied with a culture savagely lobotomizing their minds and an
older generation morbidly obese from lusting after their thoughtless persuits.
Speaking from great intent, he answered a question many here undoubtedly have for
me, why speak now of revolution or of liberation. I can do little more than
update his answer for it speaks completely to my pre-conceived determinants.
Why, must we as African-Americans, speak about Revolution and liberation at
this time, why must we utter again those words which pertains cataclysmic change
and overthrow, why must we speak these words without restraint or inhibition? Why,
when in North America, there is no color line, when the Obamas occupy the white
house and Colon Powell marshals the worlds mightiest war machine, a land where
Ras Baraka and Muriel Bowser and William Bell and Reed and Holden and Brown
rule great cities, where Paterson governs the great state i. Where Black men and
women sit as ministers in Presidential cabinets, dawn judicial robes and stake claims
amongst the directors of Americas global and multi-national corporations, where
Oprah Winfrey places her media empire on the Forbes 500 list why not speak
soundly of peace and mans budding fraternity, why not speak cooingly of joining
hands in an everlasting push to recognize the articulated dream of King? Why not let
those who are going for a swim in the mainstream rush headlong, unimpeded by a
call to war or at least keep silent and not cause undue alarm? I speak presently and
persistently towards Revolutions aims and beat loudly the drums of war because one
man, nor a few famous men, are not a people. The rule by one, be it the judgment,
the generalship, the ministry, the captaincy of industry, is not the rulership by the
people; nor does it pertain to the judging, the generalship, the ministry or the
captaincy by the people over themselves or over their destiny. A few heroes or
heroines lives, does not equal the total ascendency of a people to a liberated life. I
speak towards revolution because we have yet to have one and our freedom and
liberation must yet be won and secured. Our self-described enemies yet rule us and
their numbers increase towards this end. In our merriment, inebriated by our
celebration of those token appointments and advancements, we have left our borders
unwatched, our sentinels slumber pitifully at their posts and our elders console
themselves upon false assurances of peace the enemy now slithers stealthfully
amongst us, infiltrating our camps and prepares now, to slaughter us all before we
wake. For peace and unity among our enemy are joined, in order to disturb the peace
and unity among our people.
We spoke easily of revolution and liberation in the 60s and 70s, we shouted
from the mountaintops and deep valleys its siren psalms, disturbing the natural
tendencies of our enemies power base. Asserting proudly our divine heritage,
proclaiming without hesitation our humanness, shouting to all within earshot, Black
Power as an answer to the misery befallen us by White Power so captivating
was Black Powers alignment, even mainstream brokers like Martin Luther King,
adopted it as a necessary step in our evolution into maturity. We raised our clenched
fists towards the sky as if to threaten the heavenly host and vowed to march onward,
over land and sea, until victory is won. Is victory won the reason we no longer sing
our battle hymns, is it the reason we no longer study war and have retired our
uniforms and fallen out of our militant formations? Yes, we have counted our dead
and admire the sacrifice held sacred by our Prisoners of war, yet we have forgotten
the battlefield they drew blood on. As we lift our voices and hosannas aloud to give

Vphiamer Adis Ogaarwa


all praises due to our ancestors, to our heroes
past and present, as we Black African Human
Beings gleefully aspire to the highest offices
and seek to win seats at the powerbrokers
table within our enemies national fortress
the heroes and heroines of our future, the
carriers of our ethnic immortality, those
would be warriors, the mothers and fathers of
our nation, the minds of our race, fall like
winter wheat before the chopping sieve of
cultural hypnosis, marijuana and
malnutrition.
This is the winter of our discontent.
Their mothers slay them in their wombs, all
to many fathers disavow them after birth, the
family as an institution has collapsed, leaving
stability at home fantastically placed beyond
conception the people HAVE become
childish. Their minds waste in schools crafted
by our enemies, their communities
disintegrate under pressure from invading
white gentries, their culture pays deference to
rancid stereotypes purposely repackaged as
self-valuing actions. While the few who
obtain wealth exploit opportunities never
befalling the doors of generations past, the
multitudes slip desperately into poverty,
sickness and disease, their lifespan shrinking
faster than the horizons. Knowledge of self,
self-love and self-confidence and doing for
self still are the holy grails yet to be obtained
for the besieged massesii.
I am proud to say that twenty years
hence, this generation seems posed now to
answer his concern with direct action. I add
then to this recomposed statement, that I
speak, now, of these cultural necessities, the
coming again to our minds forefront of a
Radical Revolution-Focused Militancy, a
Militancy not yet definitively committed to
Liberation but one willing to challenge status
quos and one willing to speak Liberation as a
goal, even as it seeks systemic reform. Such a
recognition of Liberations necessity, even
paired with a movements attempt to win
political concessions, speaks loudly to this
generations willingness to forgo change for
total replacement of a broken system.
This new generation moved by the recent
publicized murders of unarmed Black
Bodies, have responded to an unfolding
realization, a realization instructing their
already besieged minds, that war has been
declared on their physical forms, a war with
all the earmarks of genocide and annihilation
a war which has sought to implant within
their community destructive means and
measures by co-opting their cultural habits

Liberations Calling, An Ancestral Voice Come to Pass


and instilling low morale and Black Self-Hatred. This war, after the death of Trayvon
Martin and the acquittal of George Zimmerman revealed the tragic, and
heartbreaking complacency many supposed White friends and self-professed White
allies, were willing to demonstrate in their actions, writings and speech to uphold a
system beneficial to their lineage revealing to many champions of Black-White
integration the true extent racism as a racial caste system was enabled to thrive
through deliberate means. When confronted with this truth, many Black Human
Beings, earnestly sought comfort in the hollowed words mouthed by their White
friends, White friends who demonstrated less compassion in actions then they did in
words. Betrayal became the code word for White complicity.
When Eric Garner was murdered and then Michael Brown fell lifeless before
Darren Wilsons smoking gun, startle within the Black Community, turned to shock
and shock quickly dissolved into resilient objection, an objection which flowered
into an uprising as potent and vigorous as those now celebrated as crucial to the
passing of the 1960s Civil Rights and Voting Rights bills. When this objection, this
public display of grief was met with the same oppressive tactics Bull Connor
employed to crush similar opposition, a new revelation dawned on Black
Communities across the country, a revelation remaining somewhat unconfirmed till
Thanksgivings Eve, when in the dead of night, Robert McCullough announced
Darren Wilsons innocence as afforded him by a Grand Jury, a declaration
accompanied by a windfall gift presented to him via a crowdfunding effort, an effort
marked by racist comments and anti-Black messages. Coming just two days after
Tamir Rices death and a mere hours before this countries celebration of the
genocidal subjugation of the former Indigenous population, many observers bristled
with disdain, but stopped short of labeling the announcement as anything more than
poorly timed. Nearly two years hence, I am compelled to describe in detail what
many Black Humans knew instinctively within as they watched this announcement
unfold.
On that date, a great war cry echoed throughout the United States. A war cry
emerging from the brutalizing footsteps of a people wrapped in a blood-drenched
heritage, a heritage bedecked with Indigenous skullcaps and headdresses, a blooddrench heritage emitting gleefully a rotted stench wrung deliberately from a hoard of
dangling African bodies, bodies hung pride-fully, celebrated as triumphant kills of a
specifies alien to its own. Many have interpreted this war cry as an auditory
annunciation, decrying a civil awakening amongst these heritage carriers, many more
have interpreted it as a political statement, a demand for complete systemic
conformity to the wills of its faithful servants, by this countrys internal colonial
subjects we Black Human Beings. While agreeing with both sentiments, a third
reason, evident in the rise in hate group activity and growth during the past eight
years, suggests this blood-drenched heritage, so highly coveted in the saying that
which made America great is again on the rise in the hearts and minds of her
protectors. Black Human Beings, residing here at this time, must intensively study
their own legacy to counteract the negative implications imposed by this
resurrection, which if history is a guide, may prove destructive to all Black progress
and any potential Black growth now viable.
History tells us, for whatever step Black Human Beings in this country take
forward, for whatever gains we believe we have rightfully won either in hard work or
through arguing persuasively, a backlash a refocusing of the societal norms again,
occurs soon after, this refocusing always favors white nationalism for several
decades after the concessions. Reconstructions suspension brought such a time into
existence, so did the last two decades of the 20th century. Now, on the heel of
Obamas retirement from the White House, such a time is again upon us.
I must turn now to a portion kept from the original piece, a section too powerful
to excuse from paper, a section propelling thoughtful intrigue and personal
mysticism. This is a section on Jim Crow, on the true need to consider liberation in a
period where Black Rights ARE being rolled back. A period where movement is a
euphemism for stagnation and revolution is a curse word foretelling peril. Let us
began now to unravel this picture, one stroke at a time.

Vphiamer Adis Ogaarwa


Over the past few years, Michelle
Alexander has popularized the phrase, New
Jim Crow Era to describe the cultural, social
and familial tension and degradation created
by mass incarceration. As a whole, mass
incarceration, represents a process likable to
a modern legal internment system, a system
orchestrating the total disappearance and
subjugation of Black Bodies for the benefit of
for-profit prison companies. This system is
reminiscent to the southern plantation,
northern banking system which comprised
the whole enslavement system at the birth of
this country. In both systems, Black
internment was erected as an integral part of
the economic order, embedding within the
paper transactions between white persons and
white businesses, the necessary movement of
Non-White so-called Black and Brown and
Red Bodies. In her work, Ms. Alexander
critiques in explicit form, the systemic bonds
connecting this economic trafficking and
warehousing of Non-White bodies and the
resulting cultural collapse affecting the Black
Community in its wake, accurately
lambasting both as instruments facilitating
and propagating its continual growth. Yet she
does not and dare I say, cannot, speak the
unbounding truth that Mass Incarceration is
the most glaring contemporary conspiratorial
example of counterinsurgency Eugenics. It is
the most forthright contemporary cultural and
physical genocidal tool exacted against the
Human Population on this continent, a tool
more glaringly and determinately genocidal
than any executed against the Human
Population on this continent since the mass
execution of the Indigenous population freed
this lands soils for European exploitation, a
process which cleared the way for the mass
African importation enabling Slavery to
thrive in pristine conditions encouraging
onward the economic conditions described.
She rightfully focused on those aspects
stemming from the misguided and poorly
written wording included in the Fourteenth
Amendment, an Amendment credited with
banning Slavery when in fact it sanctioned
incarceration as an enslavement mechanisms,
a mechanisms immediately adopted and
employed dramatically by former confederate
states to re-constitute their chattel slavery
culture, re-establishing the financial rewards
it brought to many respectable northern
financial companies, building an economic
base for the oncoming Industrial
modernization projects throughout the
country, and what would be the foundation

Liberations Calling, An Ancestral Voice Come to Pass


for American economic dominance in the 20th century.
Given the complexity and challenges presented within these concepts, Ms.
Alexanders decision to focus entirely on what might be called the lynch-pin holding
together the counter insurgency grenade lobbed methodically into the Black
Community during the Post-Civil Rights Era should not seem unexpected. This Era,
characterized by a deliberate malicious sabotaging of growth potentials within the
Black Community, an Era rife with sectarian exploitation, with the neutralization of
uncooperative, uncompromising Community Elders who sought respect, dignity and
esteem separate from white dominance and control, an Era of Counter-Radicalization
and Radical inoculation, achieved primarily by introducing drugs both chemical
and cultural to previously non-infested localities. This Era in very blunt terms,
represents a period of unabashed and unprovoked culling a ridding away of strong
influentially sound intelligent Beings, Beings capable of casting Blackness as
unmoored to White expectations and thus uncourteous to them. Adding such a reality
exposes an institutional collusion and culpability stretching not only into academia
and governmental affairs but more perniciously into military and domestic
intelligence and even media affairs. From this light, her decision to focus squarely on
the end result gained from these acts must be seen as both commendable and
provocative. For these counter insurgency strategies led directly to the current
genocidal prison epidemic lending credibility to seeing its dissection as important to
reversing the trends initiated by its benefactors. By naming it Jim Crow, Ms.
Alexander offered those who followed her, a visionary perspective or more
precisely, a lens from which all Non-White Humans, especially Black Humans, must
view the world. She was saying unequivocally, We Are Jim Crow Again, we are
being placed under an exploitative oppressive and terminal watchman who
demonizes our characters, discredits our Humanity and extracts large energy
reservoirs from us simply by engaging in terroristic activities, be they soft aspects as
in threatening non-physical harm through confrontational body language and speech
or hard aspects as in directly assaulting us physically, mentally or emotionally,
stymying our internal confidence, esteem and pride in self, community and culture.
She has said to us, in unison with many Ancestors now resting comfortably among
the Stars Time, when enabled to go along unhealed is cyclical, as we didnt learn
the lessons presented us one century ago, we are again faced with the challenges left
unscaled.
The Ancestors tell us, the bones do not forget, and the winds cannot stay
silent; Time hath brought us this hour, a great challenge, a challenge to realize, to
be what Our Most High Divine Creators, Ancestors, Elders and Protectors worked
for us to be, a challenge beautifully summed up by our recently Transitioned Queen
Mother Francis Cress Welsing, who said in an October 2015 interview I see the task
in front of us as a great challenge, to lift ourselves up from the position of
degradation that the system of Racism-White supremacy has necessitated that we be
in. This is our charge today, will we take up its weighty destiny or let fall away its
crushing demand? We must make a choice today for the Ancestral hour wherefrom
redress sought in the far distant yesteryear for past injustices committed and unpaid
debts amassed draws near. We are moved then, by their stirring Ancestral seed
within, to beat the drum for justice, to call the tune for social upheaval and charge
forward, bringing to fruitful realization their brazen demand for true liberation and
peaceful coexistence. Upon the winds swirls the unheeded cries thrown asunder by
our Great Ancestral traumas, calling to order this new generation, a generation
holding keys deposited insightfully by those Ancestors trapped within the unyielding
timespans encompassing this Countries birth. From their disadvantage, they raised
this generation, a pre-ordained resurrection, a hopeful image lobed through sorrowful
yearning, centuries ago to todays soul force sapping environment; their desires
underpin our deepest most potent dreams, dreams set ablaze by our willingness to
become attached again to our Ancestral roots. We must see, we must come to realize,
at this most crucial moment in human evolution, if we are to survive the unfolding
cataclysm brought about by European greed, then we must become one with our
Ancestors vision, not only for our people but the world left in their care. We must

Vphiamer Adis Ogaarwa


not only determine to lift ourselves from the
position of degradation necessitated by
Racism-White Supremacies systemic
mandates, but we must answer the challenge
seen by Dr. Welsing with stern discipline and
matured attitudes.
Chronologically speaking, this challenge
is made more perilous by the realities
presently confronting this country, realities
threatening its internal economic, social and
political stability and thus its cultural
viability. The recent rise of Presidential
Candidate Donald Trump and the malaise
witnessed at his rallys should invoke shivers
in all Non-White Peoples heretical mind,
especially those classified as Black, as such
violent outbursts are familiar scenes in U.S
history. Indeed violence suggested by
politicians, encouraged by politicians and
endorsed by politicians was normalized
within this nations Body Politic prior to the
Civil Rights Movement, during which time
open and honest politicians would stir White
mobs, large and small, into a blood-lusting
frenzy, enticing brutal acts including arson,
rape, torture and murder, against often
innocent Black and Brown peoples, guilty
only of violating the White Will to exploit
and dominate unrepentantly, yet often only
collateral damage, caught in the inescapable
web of White prerogative and their mystical
need to feast on the spirit ripping pain their
torturous activities caused. Only within the
past 40 years has such rhetoric and activity
become inappropriate. Donald Trump,
therefore, harkens back to this old period
where violence was understood as both
campaign fader and campaign slogan.
Resting our suspicion on such fader, on such
heretical memories, we must accept our new
Jim Crow status without fuming apathetically
on its earlier subjective stigma, we must, as
so many Conservatives dear us to do, take
responsibility for our communities and
ourselves, implementing communal strategies
aimed at arresting self-hatred and selfdestructive tendencies, instilling instead Soul
Power and Soul Force activating the true
self-level constitution our communities
requires to prosper without sacrificing its
attachment to unity. Building for ourselves a
future vision where justice reigns supreme
and life lived commonly takes precedent over
life lived selfishly.
Liberation therefore, must begin with
this point the acknowledgement, nay, the
willful acceptance, the seeking out from our
beings, those driving ancestral legacies

Liberations Calling, An Ancestral Voice Come to Pass


begging our attention and attentiveness to build a better present, ensuring a better
future. Working consistently and constructively to build a community where life
lived commonly takes precedent requires a more insightful conversation then time
allots today, yet a vision is required to force us forward mentally, re-encoding our
ideologies, rapidly from shifting isms defined by death and selfishness, to isms
defined by liveliness and commonality. Our legacies contain the seeds necessary to
revolve our collective planetary motion from its sorrowful trajectory, they contain
therein, common sensations which might, if uniformly applied, break apart the stale
atmospheric air choking off our ability to see completely our lives apart from our
hated paths.
Stirrings presently within the youth, speak momentously to the power vision
affords action; Fergusons eruption rested not on bland unmoored promises but on
deeply perceived injustices, those who took to the streets listed demands in
alignment with a broader vision, a vision aligned with upholding inner worth and
dignity in all interactions, a vision achievable through perseverance and discipline.
The 1960s taught this government the dangers such commitment and clarity presents
to their paymasters, their subjugating response to Ferguson, both locally and to those
confrontational protests proceeding Ferguson, spoke clearly to their willingness to
uphold the debilitating conditions and unfavorable interactions which operated to
constrict Black Empowerment, crushing as it did Our legacies will to scent.
This government was saying to this new generation insisting on
indiscriminating justice is non-permissible, your right to remain silent, your right to
remain unrepresented in the face of debasing, demeaning acts is enforceable by both
legislative declaration and repressive military tactics. Your right to due process, your
right to constitutional protection against abusive judicial practices and against
excessive fines and bail, are ignorable. Your right is to remain 3/5 th of a person,
Justice Taney was correct they said natural law prohibits the respect by any
honorable white person to be grafted onto any right you claim. Be still and accept
your subjugated status, this is the only way you will exist in our nation, this is the
only way you will get ahead and have access to the most miniscule of opportunities.
In this land our forefathers conquered you shall never have equality with us, for
equality means dignity and dignity mandates an elevation of character to a noble
placeiii, such a noble place must by definition come with a degree of excellence and
this would place you beyond our control, for excellence in governance is God
granted, God gives unto the dignified the right to mold the destinies of men and
places in their minds the ability to carve another nations course to be equal is to
have this right and you shall never have it, so be still. Be still lest the mighty sword
bequeathed us, stained with Indigenous blood, hang low upon your head, severing it
forever from your mingled body be still be still and all will be forgotten, our
brutish history whitewashed completely from the annuls of time will allow your
blistering scars to scab over this was their message to our grieving children this
was their message to our community.
But the youth rejected this message. A strength deeply implanted rouse young
people from their lethargic state to a confrontational pose, stirring down automatic
rifle touting police officers. Unscathed by deaths threatening scenes, the promising
carnage glittering in the fatigue bedecked officers stances, did little to assert their
dominant posture, young people so familiar with their humiliating dominance called
their bluff and even when that call was answered by flowing tear gas and the
booming trembling waves of sound cannons, they refused to back down without
concessions.
They said unequivocally yes you may have written in your founding
document that we were only worth 3/5ths a person to you, yes justice Taney may
have written your Natural Right to mistreat us trumps our Natural Right to pursue
just treatment and systemic fairness; and yes you may say we are beneath your
constitutions protection but we want you to know, your words are merely your
souls utterances, they do not now and never have represented our divine
worthfulness or divine prerogatives We are the First World People and Humanities
Parents, as such the Most High set before this Planet, edicts inscribed in our bones

Vphiamer Adis Ogaarwa


and recalled in our actions, they tell us,
Humanness directs all! They tell us
Humanness mandates Natural Law follow
Just principles steeped in Love, Community
and Charity; they tell us when Humanness
pervades all curiosities, Wisdom and
Common Sense overrides abusive motives
and drives the wayward beast into harmony
with natural law. The Most High directs
Humanity to reciprocate Humanness in
exchange for nothing but Humanness
unobstructed. To claim Humanness, we are
told, is to demonstrate Humanness to
articulate Natural law is to implement
Humanness throughout all interactive
activities. Failure to inculcate Natural Law
with or to articulate and execute its highest
goals, renders void any claim to humanness
for Humanness is a right earned not a right
guaranteed therefore we innerstand your
founders communications, we overstand your
constitutional position and find not the
Driving hand of the Most High in them, and
of your claim to humanness, we innerstand
that your actions unveil your decision to
forgo earning the title and your willing
appropriation of its label without on-taking
its brilliant commandments.
I must interject here, issues more
pressing command my attention to leave this
ethereal declaration yet something more
powerful begs me to stay on this topic. It
seems I can hear my Ancestors encouraging
me forward, telling me to interpret the
ethereal thought forms currently circling
amidst our people, especially our young. It
seems I can hear them encouraging me to
continue on, so if you dont mind right now,
Id like to follow their command, Id like to
decode the oft undecipherable language
swirling around our minds every day,
preoccupying our time and touching our most
inner Being. I hope thats alright.
I hear the Black and Colored young
saying with great righteousness and
indignation Your attempt at appropriating
humanness is voided by your refusal to
implement its enlivening commandments,
your attempted acculturation is nullified by
your contemptuous behavior towards all
humanitarian practice throughout the world,
we stand here as living testimony to your
incompatibility with humanness and stand
now at the ready to unmask your grotesque
inner core, the motivator of your human
indecency.
If we were to compare the NationalHumanitarianism you appropriate, to the

Liberations Calling, An Ancestral Voice Come to Pass


enlightened principles you vomit unrepentantly, your nation would be quickly seen
as culturally hypocritical and societally barbarous. We as a people have stood
proudly and peacefully, earnestly seeking life without undue burden in a land we
were misplaced in. Your founders saw us as cattle organisms, built for mistreatment
and hard labor. Your ancestors, so glorified and upheld as self-made, self-sustaining
innovators today, denounced this demanding labor as beneficial for savages unable
to appreciate the higher requirements necessary to construct a society, they mused
pridefully cooing fanatically about our inferiority, as we dug large water ways,
cleared thick timber, extracted minerals from the ground and erected whole villages
and communities, all the while seeking scientifically to prove their inferiority claims.
Once freed from their boney grasps, these same self-made men and women, who
assured themselves of our inferior nature, worked tiredlessly to tear down institutions
we built from scratch. Utilizing an unmistakenly terroristic campaign, these selfassured usurpers, implored a sympathetic, decisively Anti-Black legal system to
impugn efforts by freedmen to erect buildings rivaling those built for national
citizens. When unable to marshal support for such initiatives, these self-effacing
cowards turned to murderous rampages to outright destroy structures seen as too
flattering to Black self-esteem and confidence; arson, sabotage and undercutting
projects by hiking prices beyond affordability, were all tactics employed to reinstitute subjugation. For nearly 100 years we lived under these conditions, for
nearly 50 more past those, we have lived in a precarious malign neglectful state a
state where mass incarceration incentivizes our communal, spiritual and individual
malnourishment, a state where suburban colonials and tyrannical state officials
misallocate resources towards ends which maintain their political dominance, a state
where the counter-intelligence cultural psychop campaign known as mainstream pop
music lobotomizes the youth before their awareness develops. Your society, in all its
institutional patterns, clearly defines a genocidal end for us your ancestors waged a
holy crusade against our Right to Be, your ancestors waged an even more nakedly
aggressive extermination campaign against our Right to Life; they waged a
culturally appropriation campaign against our Right to Freedom and our need to be
Joyful in our pursuit of fulfillment now you too hath taken upon your shoulders
their religiosity, dressing your new Evangelism in political correctness and
inclusiveness while plotting your hegemonic survival at our expense. You mock us,
you mock us so rudely your insults are blatantly reprehensible, yet in your action one
sees your bitter jealously of us. As was true in your Ancestors actions, so is true in
yours you attempt to destroy what you cannot own. This is your fatal flaw it is
why you seek now to halt procreation trends, it is why you so readily identify us as
non-nationals, it is even why your actions encourage resentment we embody all
you desire to be and all you desire to forget.
At this crucial junction in history, at this time when your actions have brought
the natural world to annihilations brink, we now demand a grievance redress, we call
you before the Omniversal alter, to answer for your deeds and to atone for your sins
we call you before the judge-ship appointed over this galactic system and this
planetary home we call Terra, we call you before the screaming souls you tortured
and tossed aside like trash heaps to be forgotten, we even call you before those in
your heretical past to bare witness to their post-world life. We call you now before
the great cosmic order to answer honestly and forthrightly the following inquiries;
who are you to have imparted judgment unto our people, who have given you the
right to trample over a people greater in number then yourself, to besmirch our
chosen path with your insulting titles and disgraceful acts, who are you to have
discontinued our humanistic interactions without Setian interference Who are you
to have done these things Are you Gods emissaries or do you hold the divine
prerogative to orchestrate such debasement without karmic retribution We think
not.
There is a stunning historic irony in the fact that your fore-bearers genocided
and enslaved the peace loving Indigenous American and African peoples under a
religious Satanic charge, your ancestors insisted that African and Indigenous
Natives, demonstrated Satanic involvement by worshiping deities outside the

Vphiamer Adis Ogaarwa


Christian faith, they did this while refusing to
engage in non-exploitative, non-ownership
land and communal practices, yet even as
your Ancestors waged a unflinching
campaign to steal the land underneath them,
those same supposed Satanic conspirators
offered not but love, friendship and
compassion. The irony here is such humanist
qualities were seen by the European as
savage and dismissible yet their clearly
Barbarous actions, actions involving deceit,
rape, torture and outright murder and robbery
were seen as civilized, charitable and
divinely inspired acts. Our ancestors blood
cries out from these soils begging us to ask
once and for-all are these not the actions
thought most appropriate for your Devils
handmaiden, are these not the deeds most
compatible with his generals and dignitaries
or are these the actions thought representative
of the dispatched Emissaries from your
Divine Deity? Your holy books deceive us
into believing one fanes righteousness and
the other brutishness, yet your Deity admits
his jealous nature and need for unquestioning
obedience to ill-defined, often contradicting

previous, we must as one generation removed from them, not discourage this
seeking, we must do all we can to uplift a vision capable of healing the wounds left
by the European conquest still savaging our existence.
These young men and women, who have seen the smoldering cultural ashes left
scattered by the winds charged by The Black Desk Project and COINTELPRO
Programs do not demonstrate the traditional servile compliant attitudes so prevalent
in the previous generation.
The youth, buoyed by undefined, unfiltered and unwavering ancestral pride, hath set
to determine a destiny apart from enslavement, a destiny uncomplicated by usurious
relations, a destiny fulfilled by common cause and common purpose. They have
sensed the driving winds at their backs and have transcribed a deep inner yearning to
be free into a fierce freedom seeking religious fundamentalism, connected wholly to
their Roots and grounded soundly in their ancestral visionary hopes, setting
themselves to the uneasy task of liberating future generations before them and those
generations still in unqualified bondage behind them. This is the pretext to our
defining liberation as a calling.
The context is much more clearer yet ever more expansive in comparison first
we must define liberation, second we must describe liberation as a concrete
expression and third we must transcribe a roadmap to achieving both ends.
Liberation definitively is rendered unspeakable by White society, dictionaries
strain to leave it undefined, yet its definition is felt completely by all Human Beings
who yearn for something greater than their present existence. Beginning here,
therefore, touches the unblemished, though uncomfortable, seed, buried deep within
us, a seed calling our psyche to work for that which the oppressing society calls
integration and compromise. A seed upholding radical Human Nature as opposed to
a bland contemporary lifestyle; a seed connecting us to a past we arent taught about
in our history classes, a past burning intensely in our memories, uniting us with
Ancestors scantly recorded in books but often braver then those recounted as
legendary. This seed moves us beyond assimilation and unity, to symmetry and
honor. We are made whole by its growth and transformed by the knowledge its
sprouting brings. It is the incubator for our hidden legacies, it encompasses the whole
word called Love, elevated to its personal Agape and communal Ubuntu forms. It is
the unifying bind drawing together the realms seen and unseen, making that which is
crafted above, so applicable to the possibilities and potentials here. For this reason,
nourishment of this seed is prescient in order to realize liberation in all its wholly
worthfulness. The basis then for the information provided from this point onward is
towards these ends, to place into the minds of observer the necessary building blocks
to make possible liberations definition and detection so as to provide this budding
seed with the food it requires to flourish.
In 1966, Random House absently defined liberation by enlivening the verbequivalent, with wording masking its message. In doing so, Random House hid the
White Mans fear of liberation, behind a complex phonic wall, where it could lay
dormant without an observers gaze rising its functional position to its rightful place.
To truly innergrasp Liberation, to see what liberation can look like, we must
appreciate the fear-filled image that liberation conjures inside our oppressors minds.
Therefore, we must look closely at this hidden message and the image it conveys.
Four words beginning with Liberate, help us to paint this precise picture. Random
House defines liberate as (first) to set free, as from bondage; [or to] release; and
(second) to disengage, [or to] set free from combination, as a gasv. This is our road
map, from it we can find the elusive vision we seek, to do so we must interpret its
most prevalent words, those being free, release and disengage. Random House
defines Free as (first) enjoying personal rights or liberty, as one not in slavery;
(second) existing under, characterized by, or possessing civil and political liberties
and (third) enjoying political independence as a people or country, not under foreign
rulevi. It defines Disengage as to break off action with an enemyvii, while Release
is defined as the surrender of a right or the like to another viii. Finally, in order to
complete the words translation we must convert liberate to liberation, Random
House defines the suffix Tion partly as expressing action or a state or associated

Tion, from the White Mans perspective

occur without a more conclusive definition.
We must therefore shift now from the
oppressors points of view to oppressed point
of view/
The Black Liberation Army defined
Liberation as The State of Freedom from a
repressive [and] exploitative existence, where
the people have gained control of their lives
and the right to self-determinationxi. Simple
and instructive, this definition offers a direct
answer to both questions. The Black Panthers
10 point program actualizes this definition by
declaring intentions to fulfill the demands
articulated within it and the various points
described within the B.L.As definition. For
example, the Black Liberation Armys
(B.L.As) definition says two characteristics
of Liberation are The state of freedom from.
. .[an] exploitative existence, and the state
of freedom. . .where the people have gained
control of their lives, the Black Panther 10
Point Program actualizes the first
characteristic by stating [They wanted] full
employment and an end to the robbery by
the Capitalists of the Black and Oppressed
Community the points build further on this
characteristic, integrating the second into the
firsts construct by conclusively stating [The
Panthers Wanted] an immediate end to
police brutality and [the] murder of Black
People, people of color and all oppressed
people inside the United States, and [they
wanted] land, bread, housing, education,
clothing, justice, peace and [the] peoples
community control of modern technology xii
a statement clearly summarizing the previous
nine points. Existence here is reasoned to

Community, [2] their exploitative, abusive activities are replaced by a program
dedicated to achieving full employment and [3] the basic necessities required for life
to be lived minimally are provided by the community. By declaring these four points,
indeed all ten, The Black Panthers set forth a visionary framework from whence a
new viable, Liberation oriented community could arise and function.
The interdisciplinary guidelines, those guiding principles a person structures and
models their actions and thoughts around, required to facilitate this vision on a
psychological and cultural level where seemingly set down by Neely Fuller Jr. and
Batu Shaki. In Fullers Behavioral List to counter the System of Racism-White
Supremacy and Shakis Ten African Culture Commandments, the B.L.As
definitional requirement for self-determination on a personal level is met, giving
rise to their true intent, communal or national determination. For instance, Shakis
first two commandments, his insistence that all African people Learn about
themselves, their People, their History, Civilization and Culture so that they will
come to know themselves, Love themselves and ultimately be themselves and his
heartfelt plea that all African Incarnates stop inferiorizing themselves by imitating
the appearance of others, and start accepting and respecting their own appearance by
loving and wearing their hair the way it naturally grows, cherishing and keeping their
skin color the way it naturally glows, and embracing and appreciating their physical
features the way they naturally show xiii, both, if implemented widely would not only
lead to a massive rise in self-confidence and self-esteem among African Human
Beings but would inadvertently promote and fulfill the first ten items on Fullers
Behavioral list, those being the ceasing of name-calling one another, cursing one
another, squabbling with one another, being discourteous and disrespectful to one
another, stealing from one another, robbing one another, fighting one another, killing
one another, and using or selling drugs to each other xiv to say nothing about
individual use. Together these two commandments and ten items would create a
pathway for all Black People to fulfill B.L.As Liberation definitional prerequisite
term, they would (quote) gain control of their lives (unquote) thus they would gain
the right to self-determination. Without Anti-Black activities such as those listed, we
could fulfill the 8th commandment given by Shaki, we would Understand and
internalize the truth that All African People Are One People, All African Land is
One Land, and All African Knowledge is One Knowledge; and [we would] teach
these principles to [our] children, creating a new Purely African-Minded
Generation, a must do, if liberation is going to be realized in the coming years.
Though neither Fuller nor Shaki aligns themselves or their offered lists with the
Black Radical tradition, both intuit strong counter-racist habits, which prepare the
soul, heart and mind for a future devoid of exploitation, repression and enslavement.
Adding political weight to Fullers psychological list and Shakis cultural edicts,
the African Peoples Socialist Party in 1974 set forward the rules instructing its
members against actions demonstrating undisciplined, even immature, acts which
might endanger party cohesiveness, a prerequisite for communal cohesiveness and
establishment. A delicate studying of these rules reveals a similarities between both
Shakis and Fullers lists, yet they do so only after the Maatian Precept principle is
applied. This principle simply tells us to invert each precept turn it inside out,
making what was once negative positive through artful yet truthful word
replacement. Using this process, we can draw out the essence, the true meaning
within the rules, seeing as we do their ability to heighten Shakis and Fullers lists.
For example, APSP Rule number eleven states one who Helps to divide and
circumvent international African unity through words or actions has broken Party
discipline, rewritten using the Maatian Precept principle, we would read one who
(first) disables encompassing and sabotages, entrapment oriented stratagems which
create Global African fragmentation, (and second) one who does not seek to avoid or
bypass International African unity through words or actions has honored Party
discipline. This rule, affirms, Shakis Commandment number six which insists all
Africans should Keep an African map and an African Flag on display in their home
as constant acknowledgment and reinforcement of their identification with the
People and Land of their origin. Shakis Commandment acts as the tool or catalyst

We [The Black Panthers] recognized that in order to bring the people to the level of consciousness where

which would help them to meet their daily needs. For a long time we have had such programs not only for
survival but for organizational purposes. . . . [and to] satisfy the deep needs of the community but they are
not solutions to our problems. That is why we call them survival programs, meaning survival pending
revolution. We say that the survival program of the Black Panther Party is like the survival kit of a sailor
stranded on a raft. It helps him to sustain himself until he can get completely out of that situation. So the
survival programs are not answers or solutions, but they will help us to organize the community around a
true analysis and understanding of their situation. When consciousness and understanding is raised to a

Newton presents is this life sustaining, life affirming attention must spawn programs

the communal aspirations for self-determination and self-actualization. In doing so,
said programs must embolden and empower participants to form healthful solutions
to problems unsolved by the current program structures. Participants must be made

legacies carry this visionary seed within its
righteous crux, offering hope to our weary
minds and strength to our burdened hearts. It
is this vision that we honor today, on this, the
151st Juneteenth Emancipation Day.
Liberation promises this end, all it asks is our

repurposing of this great day six quarter centuries ago, our ancestors, languishing
in impoverished, dehumanized conditions, were delivered the news of Emancipation,
unbinding their feet and hands but not their minds, for in the stolen Texan territory,
the once great Mexican State, the enslaved men, women and children who received
this news became baffled by legislative retort to the emancipation proclamation.
Following other Southern States, Texas reinstated the enslavement caste system
under new terms and legal statues, replacing once overtly bigoted language with
judicial language aimed at (quote) criminals and vagrants (unquote). Emboldened
by the 13th Amendment, an Amendment stating (quote) neither slavery nor
involuntary servitude, except as punishment for crime whereof the party shall have
been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States or any other place subject to
their jurisdiction (quote), formerly enslaved Texan residence, where placed under
seize by legal structures meant to devalue their emancipated rights. With
sharecropping and the rising terroristic mechanisms used to enforce its exploitative
doctrine, many Texans whod welcomed the Proclamation, found their rights after its
passage, equally limited. This history must not be forgotten our eyes must always
be affixed to seeing past the proclamations immediate impact and to its long lasting
effect. The Emancipation Proclamation was not a humanitarian document, issued for
our ancestral benefit, but, as the proclamation itself states, was (quote) sincerely
believed to be an act of justice, warranted by the Constitution upon military
necessity (unquote). For this reason, Juneteenth must become a springboard for our
complete socio-economic and political liberation, it must become the launching point
for our cultural reconstitution and restitution and it must become our ever deepening,
ever gushing well, nourishing our Black intercommunal, interpersonal regeneration
and reconciliation. Juneteenth must become the igniting force from whence we gain
propulsion toward our goal to end empyreal endeavors within our community, a
propulsion towards gaining true financial independence from the neocolonial urban
structures we have become indebted to. This date must become a midyear
benchmark, on which we rededicate ourselves to New Year resolutions, it must again
be a Ceremonial date where we honor our Ancestral lineage, atoning for early year
mistakes while adjusting for end year success. This is what Juneteenth should mean
it is what Juneteenth should be. Our vision for a planet ruled by Organic

I wish I could end this lecture here,

must inspire towards now, beyond the
jumbled, yet audibly pleasurable utterances
previously offered, we must constrict our
focus to the path necessary for this process to

Liberations Calling, An Ancestral Voice Come to Pass


arrive at its destined port. Many people who I admire greatly, have sought to
transform Juneteenth into the catalyst for true liberation, they have, throughout the
past decade or so, presented roadmaps to the liberated future described before the
forthcoming suggestions are not meant to discredit their maps or add weight to them,
they are mere gestures for consideration which I hope all Black Human Beings will
digest in their pursuit of liberations realization.
At the outset, allow me to make clear my motives; the existing body politic
charges Black Human existence with a Natural disability, our willfulness towards
humanly intercourse and flourishing is obstructed by an unwillingness to decimate
life-forms, i.e. other humans or relatives thereof who refuse to conform to our
statutes; this disability, as asserted by the European mind, prevents us from obtaining
goals highly prized by our ancestors. Because we meekly abstain from violent
conflict resolution, we are told, we have guaranteed our subversive station for all
time. Moreover, standing before times analog, the White Race regards our Organic
pridefulness as a sinful lesson against complacency. They have sought, through these
charges, to prevent our projected degradation by limiting our exposure, and our
ability to expose others like us, to these supposed malformations, thus intellectually,
emotionally and spiritually inoculating us from the sustenance we require to liberate
ourselves from their overbearing hands. Understanding this reality is key to seeing
our path forward through the present darkness we are experiencing. We must note
with an iron clad willfulness that we have been lied to; the White Race perceives us
as being limited because we are not a bloodthirsty Race, they perceive us to be
deserving of punishment by every other Race because we have pride in our lineage
and our heritage, they perceive us to be weak because we do not wish to bend human
willfulness by force from an overarching, total perspective, we are, therefore,
doomed to remain separated from our true selves so long as this pridefulness exists.
This is what we have been made to believe, though it is untrue.
The six points hereafter following, aim to neutralize this inoculation,
disinfecting our beings by directly overturning the unfounded charges described.
Each point contributes to the character building process, so readily needed and
desired within our community. Taking together, they form a roadmap forward to
developing our outer and inner physical forms for liberations gift. The list is as
followed.

[1] the need to properly identify ourselves, our-community, our-nation, and ultimately oursouls divine
lineage, in doing so well ultimately provide the foundational underpinnings for a prosperous cultural and
societal life-force, cohesively forging a bond between our physical selves as Ancestral Incarnates, those
physical structures created by our cooperative hands, and those Ancestral Luminaries awaiting our call
beyond the Netherworld;
[2] the need to acknowledge, reconcilexx and heal the spiritual, emotional and psychological woundedness
we have both endured, as a past tense, and continue to endure, as a present state; in doing so well open up
hitherto locked internal doorways to resources both psychological and spiritual, which will make building
a healthy society more possible.
[3] the need to learn hearty lessons from our past historical achievements and failures, applying those
lessons, reconfigured for todays experiences, to current plans aimed at achieving our liberated future;
[4] the need to bind our modern existence to the living legacies of our forbearers, reminding through song
and dance and legends in tune with history, that we as a people are colonial subjects, intended to struggle
for our freedom or parish in our foolish compliance to colonial rule;
[5] the need to polarize our cultural habits, seeing in our desires to live out these habits completely, a true
essence which sets us apart from those who seek to subjugate us and rule over our Beings completely, and
ruthlessly; Blackness must, by this measure, become counter-oppressive, counter-abusive, counterexploitative, and ultimately counter-empyreal in all its formations, not as a symptom built from hatred of
the other, but a symptom built by necessarily distinguishing our humanism from the inhumane activity
cherished by the ancestors of those still championing such deeds as honorable.

And lastly [6] the need to engage earnestly in growing a nurturing and connected spirit amongst our
people, tribal differences in Africa and beyond, must become unification mandates; we must become one
united national group, willing to grow honorably together as one people, one blood and one cosmic force
unified in our multi dimensionality and multi-facetedness. Blackness, as ordained by our organic origins,
must become a sound symbol for humanism everywhere on this planet, it must become a calling card for
justice and cosmic order, it must once again stand for divine inspiration and truth no matter where it exists.
These are our six mandates
I have deliberately left each point limited
in scope, providing no description other than
that one necessary for your general
understanding. This purposeful act was not
committed maliciously, nor with hesitance. I
have sought here to plant within your mind,
the opening seeds of a great spring
awakening. In this act, I have sought to
replicate the promissory notice issued by the
coming spring rains to the awaiting buds
under the cold hardened ground, a
promissory notice echoing the great tides of
memories, harkening back to the summer
months when the bud was merely a pollen
grain on the blistering winds. A notice of
growth and achievement, if only the bud
would unfold willfully the natural resolution
within its inner core, it would soon pierce its
head through the frozen soils, tasting the
sweet air. And once that sweet air was tasted,
and freedom was known to exist in the
majestic sun, the bud would lay claim to its
right to reach higher, revealing for all to see,
its outreaching form and blossoming
substance.

fractures in ecosystems vital to humanities and the planets survival. Already, quaking

the European onslaught as deadly to the Terrestrial Host vital to their survival.
We as Black Human Beings, as faithful stewards of this great planetary system,
must take the opportunity presented by these warnings from the Great Mother, and
the momentary sober reasoning by some Eurocentric persons, to join with our
indigenous brethren worldwide to work now for a greater future, to chart a broader
far reaching vision for liberation that includes ecological survival and environmental
healing, we must join together with our continental roots re-establishing our native
dances, reworking them for modern uses, igniting again the strong bond between our
deeply melinated tone and the Earths deeply baritone pulses. With our eyes affixed
firmly on re-establishing Terrestrial wellness our words must become matched by
honest deeds and our deeds matched by insightful forethought. We must become
overflowing vessels again, charge mightily with the greatest power afforded by our
Heavenly Parents, that being love, our hearts must be committed to these ends and
our lives set in motion to their escalating rhythms. Will we have the courage to take
up this mantle or will we be swayed to inaction by our doubts and fears. The world is
waiting on us and the cosmos is calling us to assume this role. If we prove incapable
of achieving this mission, of leading this world from the darken cavern prepared it by
Western Civilizations cancerous philosophies, well be surrendering our mortality to
the terminal death spiral, all prophets foreseen as certain.
All is not lost though, the world doth continues on; we still have a choice, either
remake the world beginning by instilling those six points or continue down this long
dark corridor which all empires have traversed and all have met with ruin. The
choice we should make is obvious, the will to do so presently, is not.
We as Black Human Beings, stewards of this Planetary System, must be
prepared to lead Humanity and Humankind towards this new world possibility, we
must be prepared to lead our species altogether as one family, not as one nation, but
as a hosting group of national common-unities, upholding cultural ambiguities and
emphasizing cultural autonomy while remaining committed to cultural cohesion and
peaceful co-existence. We must be prepared to do so respectfully and charitably
without animosity or condemnation. Our Ancestors council us at this moment to
bare in the right hand the sprouted plant, to offer to the withered ground, the
drenching water, to lay carefully the plant begotten, for future growth, attend
with keen compassion. Love must become the driving force behind this progression,
mixed with stern unforgiving determination; we must make anew this planet or
become pallbearers to its final death march. Our liberation, as formulated by the
Black Power Generation, holds within its penetrating words, a partial vision, one
accounting for the damage incurred by imperialisms savagery. Now that vision must
be matured, this generation is tasked not only with freeing its collective soul from the
bleak realities surrounding its sojourners, but it must awaken the dormant radical
tradition, quieted amongst those who came before them instilling it, without shame

we are liberated when no-self shivers from frightful thoughts provoked by condemning gazes
we are liberated when, within every footstep, our children radiate their natural soul force without hesitation
or shame
we are liberated when Maafas truth can be taught uncensored and unsilenced
we are liberated at that point when our communities are operated cooperatively by mandates we decide
we are liberated when guilt does not sicken our souls, eclipsing our natural proclamations of self-honor and
communal sacrifice
we are liberated when love is used to unify all our people, all over the world, without it being restricted by
misappropriated lust
we are liberated when the last slave holding country admits its culpability in denying this world of peace
and determines its nations treasury to pay restitution to her slaves descendants
and finally, we are liberated when every Black man, woman and child can with a dignified voice, describe
themselves honestly as the antithesis of White terrorism and cancerous properties when they can describe
themselves righteously as Divine Emissaries incarnated into our Mothers Flesh, holding in-with us, all
knowledge and form bestowed by her and bequeathed to her organic beings.

why do we gather here today to speak of revolution, that word which pretends cataclysmic change and overthrow, the changing of the
order of things? Why, we ask ourselves, we African-Americans, must we speak of revolution at this day and time, when peace and freedom
are breaking out all over the Russias, the Balkans, and the spirit of unity sweeps like a refreshing breeze across Western Europe and the
divided Germanys. When in South Africa, Mandela has thrown away his shackles, when in North America, there is no longer the color line,
where Jesse runs for President, Colon Powell marshals the worlds mightiest war machine, a land where Dinkins and Maynard Jackson and
Wilson Good and Smoke and Young and Bradley rule great cities, where Wilder governs the great state. Where African men and women sit
as ministers in Presidential cabinets, dawn robes of justice and take their places among the directors of Americas global and multi-national
corporations, where Reginald Lewis places TLC on the fortune 500. Why not speak of peace and brotherhood and of joining hands, of
dreams or at least keep silent and not cause undue alarm and let those who are going for a swim in the mainstream, rush headlong, unimpeded
by a call to war. I speak of revolution, I beat the drums of war because one man, nor a few famous men, are not a people. The rule of one, the
judgment, the generalship, the ministry, the captaincy of industry of one, of a few, is not the rulership of a people, the judging, the
generalship, the ministry, the captaincy of the people over themselves or over their destiny. The lives of a few heroes or heroines, is not the
life of a people. I speak of revolution because, we have yet to have one and our freedom and liberation must yet be won and secured. Our
enemies yet rule us and their numbers increase, their strength grows exponentially. In our revelry, inebriated by our celebration of ephemeral
victories, we have left our borders unwatched, our sentinels asleep at their posts, the enemy stealthfully infiltrates our camps and prepares to
slaughter us before we wake. For peace and unity among our enemy are joined, in order to disturb the peace and unity among ourselves. We
spoke easily of revolution in the 60s and 70s, we shouted from mountaintops and deep valleys Black Power, we raised our clenched fists
towards the sky as if to threaten the heavenly host and vowed to march on till victory is won. Is victory won the reason we no longer sing
our battle hymns, we no longer study war and have retired our uniforms and fallen out of our militant formations? As we lift our voices and
hosannas aloud to give all praises due to our ancestors, our heroes past and present, as African men and women aspire to the highest offices
and win seats at the table of the mighty the heroes and heroines of our future, the futures of our people, the carriers of our ethnic
immortality, our young warriors, the mothers of our nation, the minds of our race fall like winter wheat before a chopping sieve of crack,
dope and AIDS. They are slain in the wombs of our mothers, their minds wasted in schools mastered by their enemies, they kill each other
pulling the triggers of guns they cant even manufacture. Their lives go up in smoke, the mayor of the nations capital falls from his pedestal;
all salvation does not lie in being elected. This is the winter of our discontent. The written word is still perceived as an unintelligible cryptic
hieroglyph by too many of our children. Basic mathematics still presents an unsalable riddle. Knowledge of self, self-love and selfconfidence and doing for self still are the holy grails yet to be obtained. While the few who obtain wealth exploit opportunities which never
knocked on our doors before, the multitudes slip desperately into poverty, sickness and disease, their lifespan shrinking faster than the
horizons.
