to nana kuntu

[Kweku_Omowale]

this shield represents
our honour,our blood,
nana kuntu, you have earned your badge oif honour
still,we afrikans in the amerikas,
havent seen the winds of change,
like those who were victims of the indian
ocean slave trade,
captured by the persians
during the islamic incursion of afrika
of 600 and 700 ad,
and the invasion of the chirstian missionaries
of those who saw the ghost of king leopold the second,
like our warrior,aaron patterson,
in the occupied zones of north amerikkka
for every bullet,they put thru the hearts of afrikan people
thru out the continent
and afrikan peoples in brazil,
living like indigent,

medgar evers,
fred hampton sr
ken sara wiwa
jomo kenyatta
walter rodney
maurice bishop
and those who dreamt of freedom
dared to struggle dare to win,

nana kuntu,
from those who are caught in amerikkkan dungeons
from ojori lutalo,
dctor mutulu shakur

you ignited the fire from below.
zumbi dos palmares heard their cries
and the skies screamed with the thunders
and the cries of our ancestors,

the history untold,
of a great civilization,
western scientists
trying to dig our history
and unearth our past,

so many of us being burried
in amerikkka and else where,
this pitcure shows a stark contrast,

the sons and dauthers of afrika,
like walter sizulu
and solomon t platjee
and steven biko,
could neva sing free at last,
ohio
strong hold of neo nazis
and criminals in action

nana kuntu,
they say,
in order to have peace
we have to prepare for war,
so we will bring our piece
because thats what amerikkka only understands
their lease has expired and it is time
for them to leave the land
from the watch towers,
we assume our positions
like the liberators
and wait for your command,

like the warriors of the past,
samora marchel/
and patrice lumumba
we will show dem,
the real meaning of the word
hell.
