self evidence...is always very difficult to dispute.....

The Retro Nubian Futuristic Afro Story

ONCE UPON A TIME ……….all these truths are self evident…..

 

Lost in found in the search to uncover me

Remembering my past to blow up my future

One time I was peace and unified in nature

Living in tribes structured by families

Villages of shared thought bred my harmony

As we all sung the songs worshipping unity

 

….all these truths are self evident…..

 

Deities were represented and did enforce taboos

Most important we were the masters and followers too

Taught to only feed when there is a need

Never wanting to gorge out and siphon our own society

Sure their were classes and everyone learned to get along

Roles were assigned and hierarchy designed from elders

Through this tight association, birthed known civilization

 

….all these truths are self evident…..

 

Wars were fought against savages and nomads periodically

As civilized warriors fought and defended our unit of society

Thankfully skirmishes were temporary and over rather quickly

Then one day the witchdoctor predicted a terrible upheaval

Men would come from a foreign land with foreign features

On this day, ways of living would change for millennia s

As peace was replaced with strife and feudal laws of might

Determined by taking instead of trading and sharing…..

 

….all these truths are self evident…..

 

Children were removed and mothers were raped,

As our known society did collapse from this familiar break

We became slaves of chattel, guilt ridden rationalized inhumans

Forced to toil and cultivate the birth of nation, forced procreate

Adept and at home was our truest nature we did perform

As well as the others whose nature of adept was in exploitation

 

….all these truths are self evident…..

 

From a forced evolution in our bonded generations, hybridity ensued

Raged from lack of estates in plantation, low esteem did seed

Survival reigned as adapting to change added to a legendary adeptness

Progress was slow over a few centuries, as this land sown became our home

Structures of familiarity carried down although subjugated constantly

 

….all these truths are self evident…..

 

Within the last century freedom came purportedly for free from masters

Sadly the greatest price for freedom came at the cost of knowing history

As we now walk around lost in a land of fools, trying to belong too

Migrating from parts south to the north to get ahead, but now left for dead

As patty-rollers continue to discriminate under the guise of effective policing

Incarcerating bodies of Nubians in zoos for feeding the chaos of feudal anarchy

As we now are under the false creed of everyman, woman and child for self

As we try to catch the wealth as being worthy to worship as our Lord and Masta

Only increasing the hypocrisy of our existence in a land of the free and brave?

 

….all these truths are self evident…..

 

Now we exist as neo-negros on a futuristic tip of slipping into surrounding darkness

Ushering in the concave of our rights to equality for sake of showmanship or popularity

Who notices that disrespect and neglect bestowed on our shared society universally

I pray for back in the days to be reinvigorated into the gift of good still in present

As we ensure that our families will be able to see better tomorrows bathed in light

 

Who AM I?

(Smile)….Why I’m self-evidence……(smile)

 

I’m repping futuristic equality from last nights’ retro reactivated Nubian Way,

Bringing about a dawn of a new nature in man!

 

EVERLASTING PEACE….all these truths shall be self evident…..

"Villages of shared thoughts bred my harmony as we all sung the songs worshipping unity" Unity is an essential piece of the dilemma that we face. Great write. Write a book on this topic it's a must read.
