I did not born in six days
or six thousand days,
but I was born 120,000 or
100,00 years,
I was born in the plain of
Africa, which I carry all of you,
I have your brown, dark,
white, red and yellow.
I have the eyes, black,
hazel, brown, green and red
I have your brown, hazel,
red, black and yellow hair
but you do not see me, I am
in the corner lay down,
yes, I am in pain, I am the
one who serve your flag,
but you found your way out,
I had to serve, because I was
brown, yellow and black.
I am with the Kippah, the
Turban, the Hijab
I am your sister, you mother
You walk away, and you did
not see my back, whip of the master
You do not see my hands, punished
by the sitting rocker of my mistress
You do not see number in my
Arm, since you deny sanctuary of my escaping
my tormentors, because I was
born, because I believe.
You do not want to see my eyes, so I can not read
You do not want to see my eyes, so I can not read
I only hear the lynching of
your anger, for losing you war to own me
The burning of my place to
pray, by your hands, in your amnesia
you do not want to see me,
you chase me in my prayer house to
send to my death
I only heard the empty voices of the Middle Passage
You took my bonds, I do not who I am, I do not know where I come
I do not where I am
I only heard the empty voices of the Middle Passage
You took my bonds, I do not who I am, I do not know where I come
I do not where I am
you do not see me, I am your
brother, your sister, you father and your mother
in your amnesia of your
actions wanted to wash your hands, but your actions
set in stones, the wind will
wipe, but your actions still in space
you do not see me, but you
are, what I am
