Poem: What Africans Need To Know

You cannot assume that people can understand your power. People are unable to comprehend that magnitude of power — take note of the emotion of this specific verse; feel its spirit! Take home this thought and engrave it in to your thoughts, your Spirit.

Getting the news or believing in the Good News?

The speculations have been that the Messiah gives everlasting life. That the Chosen One is not who the messengers of Lucifer are trying to reach.

The Truth of the Way that leads to a true Life is that the Savior of the world is as simple as Africa, is as dark as Nubia, and as giving as the Nile.

Be loose in your beliefs and get lost in others.

Unapologetic will these stanzas be since the world wants to be politically correct and promulgate gray areas.

Let us think with our mouths and speak out with our brains; that is intelligent.

We are full of  intelligence, a new breed. And wisdom is to convince the unthinkers.

Non-thinkers: they are being tossed left and right in the name of unknown rights, questioning if they should ever look left.

They became lukewarm and get stuck in the mire.

Are we being cost effective or are we focused on head counts?

Quantity, please concentrate on quality!

Revolutionary modern Negroes burnt away small-minded people’s nooses.

Watching them as their heads ended up in their own traps — they, those racists, have no color;

They are black and white and green and blue.

Blue-collars, in the name of [invisible] liaisons, please cut off your left arms and right foot in the name of self-sanity. For it is better to lose one eye than your complete sight.

Blinded, we, they, and you have been since the 15th Century about the color and race of your Redeemer.

You’ve heard it right, cut off your left hands!

We went from a request to an order.

Remember that you were advised to pay close attention to each thought.

It is free; please believe each verse.

Loving our enemies, feeding those who hated us, and keep on abhorring us the most.

We have been the better Person.

Beings of multiple layers, we come from a cosmos bigger than yours.

There, there are many mansions.
