Title: For Black Men Only Post by: Bantu_Kelani on July 13, 2004, 01:21:14 AM Where are you my Brothas?
In this essence in time it seems that we're extinct and blind. Our women, our children, our mothers and fathers cannot find us. Have we disappeared? Have we allowed America to smear our image with misconceptions and lies created out of hatred and fear? Look at us brethren Our situation is beyond critical Instead of unified Kings and noble men We've become spirit-less, material lusting individuals. We are no longer the images of our fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers We're even condemned by them Living in a world of constant battles and sin. We're sending our own selves to our ends No longer friends, just bodies braving the wild of the world Losing our souls as time unfurl. It's sad that I no longer feel kin to my brethren. I feel alien amongst crowds of loud-talkin', fast walkin', women cursin' studs Who have drug the image of us in the mud. We no longer have respect for our Nubian Queens It is an understatement to say that we treat them cruel and mean. Our behavior amongst them is extreme We no longer exist with our Queens as a team. We Brothas call our precious women everything but who and what they truly are, which has left our Queen's spirits colored with bruises and scars. We treat them so foul that one outside of our race would doubt that they're ours to serenade with beautiful names and respect Instead we'd rather treat them with neglect. My Brothers where art you?! As our little men and women experience this world without proper guidance and protection We've left it to the media, sports stars and degrading rap and R Christopher Donshale Sims/Universoul All rights reserved 2004 http://www.peopleofcolorshowcase.com/universoulove/ |
