Liberation begins with Self, then it influences the community. Non liberated people equate to no community.

This black thing
This black thing
Like we still have an
Identify crisis….
We don’t really
Know who we exactly are
What’s our nationality?
Black is what
Colonizers gave us
They use color
As status…
We got the moors
We got the Israelites
We got the aborigines
We got African Americans
Who the fuck are we?
We keep sayin
Black,
Black is not our nationality
I’m still confused
We don’t have a name
Yet we stick to black
I heard black means death
In science
Did they use black means death
In Kemet?
We say black this
Black that
Melaninated people still have
Identity crisis
Cos
We’re so dividin
We keep talkin…
I say black people
For the sake of
My poems
For the sake of
My conversations…
Who are we?
Carbon people?
With different dark and light skin complexions
Everywhere…
This black thing…
