Have You Forgotten Your Strengh? ? Poem by Sophonie Asia Joseph

Have You Forgotten Your Strengh? ?

Rating: 4.5


I haven't forgotten
even though you have

the hardships of many,
your mind they've crafted

the wound unhealed, in the pocket bag
the deal was sealed

you're using relaxers and dye
ain't nothing differnt from you and I

work odd hours, called us all kinds of names
callin MY NATION cowards?

who do you think did it?
you know them egyptian towers

you can go and swevel round in your chair
back and forth, while stomping me down to the floor

but while you're doing that
remember where you came from

even way then before we were
here before they found us

tsk tsk tsk, you believe all they say is true?
well how easily are you fooled

Ever heard of Tanzania? they would
of left us on that nile river, see ya

we fought the current
they made it to the continet

came about race was formed
had the people torned

divided us from skin and hair

Was this some kind of hype
where we just sterotype

treated us wore than the chickens in the pen
looking at us they claimed created them to sin

thinking back makes me sick
that we are the same ethnic

a toc and a tic
they played with your mind

look into it all, hx has an orgin
though the place was foreign

not the land down under
but in the desert where the water slumbered

archologial eveidence don't lie
where did you get your clues where did they hide?

we all came from adams same side
and YOU that divided us
can never corrupt my mind!
