Liberation Age.
We Africans do focus now
So here we are today
Justica and truth will never bow
There is so much to aay
We are living in a serious time
A time to contemplate
The African Redemption line
And the Black Liberation faith
The world at large should understand
Why Africans proclaim
The struggle for our Ancestors land
In our Ancestor's name
True Africans will never fail
To stand up for the truth
And even when they are thrown in jails
They grow deep in their Roots
So everyone who are gathered here
Should really realize
That true Africans don't live in fear
They reason with the wise
Now several hundred years ago
They plundered our land
And all who are gathered here should know
They shackled our hands
They enslaved us in our parent's Loins
And lashed us with their whips
Yet while while we screamed and our parents pined
They kicked our parents hips
They realized we vwould die
Although we were ill nourished
They then decided to tell some lies
Because our numbers flourished
In the year Eighteen Thirty Eight
Their deeds no more could hide
Of slavery their was much debate
Their fears were getting wide
They lied that slavery was abolished
Yet Africans are not yet free
Instead slavery was only polished
The evidence we can see
They took our Ancestors hostages
Then sailed us to the West
We crossed the Dreadful Middle Passage
Some very very brutal tests
Abandoned in these foreign lands
As captives we remain
The chains were mostly on our hands
But now they are on our brains
England and France were part of it
And so was Portugal
Belgium and Spain did benefit
Germany was their pal
The Dutch was part of all this deal
There is much more to tell
They slaved and broke on their wheels
They gave African people hell
So brothers and sisters here we are
The truth is now declared
The world is on the verge of war
I hope you are prepared
We humble asked to be restored
To Mama Africa our home
Our rightful are so ignored
They still keep us in Rome
This verbal forum will not dodge
It will instead highlight
Participants must wear the badge
Of truth Justice and rights
Now I have written much to you
It is timeto leave this page
Hoping you comprehend my views
It is Liberation Age.

Take the best care of yourselves and your people.
Again I send many oceans of blessings and self detrmination to African people everywhere.
