ON THE ORIGINS OF THINGS

By Listervelt Middleton, 1987

Look around you Black child Your creation is everywhere though painted, distorted given new names

they bear your prints just the same so sharpen your eyes tune your ear so you’ll know what you see understand what you hear

you were the first to write the first to read humanity sprang from your black seed for 110,000 years you were here alone and than the Caucasian man was born behind the ice inside the cold a chill set in this new man’s soul

other mind’s have been credited with the things they learned from you:
Newton, Pythagoras, Kepler and Galileo too sharpen your eyes tune your ear so you’ll know what you see understand what you here

you made the serpent the symbol of the healing arts and African justice was goddess Maat who weighed herself against the African soul truth and justice blind—fold the George Washington Monument is yours too
a copy of the African tekenu, the symbol of the Black world’s powers of creation the Black man’ s penis in divine procreation

the king of Southern Egypt wore the white crown keep listening and you’ 11 catch your mouth when you learn that the central government in Egypt was known as the white house sharpen your eyes tune your ear so you’ll know what you see understand what you hear

your God Osiris was restored to life long before Buddha long before Christ and today

what you call the Madonna and Child is but the first Black family worshipped’ long the Nile and when you feel the Spiritthe Holy Ghost
you should know it started at Abydos
where God Osiris’ body was laid the Holy Land where Africans prayed

minute by minute hour by hour as you lose your history you lose your power so sharpen your eyes tune your ear so you’ 11 know what you see understand what you hear
