could but for a while pretend that I AM not black,under privileged,unfairly documented in history
That my ancestor were slaves since the beginning of vasco da gama
but I could again pretend That I am white, born with privileged genes, long smooth hair with blue eyes
I could even convince myself that the world does not judge my intellect based on the colour of my skin
Better yet I refuse, I'd rather stop pretending
and start reclaiming the strength of my ancestors, acknowledging their genius
my ancestors existed in Egypt
and gave the world Science, Mathematics, Astrology.
They build Pyramids that spoke to the stars
long before the western world could spell ARCHI-TEC-TURE!
I should state claim to the throne of Solomon and Be in ore of Queen Sheba
I should fight to rebuild the ruins of the land of Cush(Ethiopia) and state claim to the Nile river, the Euphrates and all major rivers connected to the Nile.
My people maybe misrepresented in history books, but our voices are loudly heard in the towers of conscious spirituality, in the corridors supreme knowledge of science and Medicine!
No pretending anymore
I am who I am because of my people!
