"Freedom From BLACK CHAINS" A Poem By Malik Ademola by maykam(m): 12:50pm On Nov 29, 2017 |
Born of a single "Father" Fed on the breasts of multitudes of mothers To be bred as African Brothers and Sisters Who live to love one another intimately. Occident have lingered in our lands so long Breeding contempt and hate among us "Africans" Civilizing us on who is "Dark and Fair" And Lecturing us the differences in our colours. Being "Black" don't make us inferior Except you say it's colour and not identity But what we share as Africans isn't just colour For "Africaness" and "skin colour" do not verify each other. What has put the Blindfolds in your eyes? Luxuries or Liberation? What blurs your senses of humanity? As you permit the sales of "BLACK GOLDS" Haven't slave trades been buried long ago? In the middle of the Mediterranean Sea? On the journey to civilization and Liberation? But What happens here, right on Africa soil? Blacks selling Blacks to Whites? Somewhere in the North of Africa Our fellows mourn in silence Someplace in the Sub Sahara Their hearts wish for freedom and peace #BlackLifeAlsoMatters #EndTheSlaveAuction #LetUsBeTheirVoice #EnoughIsEnough

The Slavery in Libya needs to be stopped
Be their voices
Let the world know of their sufferings
The little you do to help is mountainous. |
