THE SCENE: JAMAICA, A LONG TIME AGO
THE AFRICAN MAN SPEAKS...............
today i heard garvey talking
what a great inspiration, that man is?
he spoke of home - africa seems so distant - i hate this poverty
garvey has vision
he knows we deserve much more than this
he says independence will return to africa, we will even get it here in jamaica
my grandfather slaved then set off into the hills – and reasoned with the men of culture
he taught me about freedom - africa
then he died
and i began to forget his words of liberation
today i heard garvey talking
garvey made me remember

Breadfruit, thanks for writing this,
I really enjoyed reading it. This is the kind of poetry I want to start writing myself, with historical angles. But sadly I have to admit, my knowledge about black history (what I THOUGHT I knew!) really needs work. But im rectifying this daily!
Thats one of the reasons I love this site so much, a wealth of information from the peeople here is brillaint!
God Bless the black intellectuals!
