they spoke to me
in twi,amaharic and swahili
they spoke to me in yoruba,
about the horror of slave trade

they spoke to me in wolof and showed
me the arab invasion of afrika,
selling us to the whiteman for gold silver
and spices,
they took me to cape coast
and showed slaves ties to chains
they spoke to me about the human pain
they spoke to me in zulu
they showed me the massacrer of sharpsville
they showed nova scotia and africville

they spoke to me in creole
and they showed me the grenadian revolution
they spoke to me and showed me rosswood
they spoke to me in ebonics
and showed me the massacrer of osage avenue

they showed me how we are divided and will never get free
because we cant take the blinds fold of our eyes
and we cant really see.

they spoke to me, about uncle toms
of the world and how they betray the african revolution
they showed me ken sara wiwa
wolly soyenka
and fela kuti
they showed me rober f willians
and fred hanpton sr
and fred hampton jr

they spoke to me about the
reality of our present time
how africans in amerikkka
are incarecerated for small petty crime. blktype
