I am the Truth
Quiet, I’m not listening
Just because you say
Does not mean it’s true…
You don’t get to define me!
My existence is my definition!
And by definition: I am the truth!
But you don’t see me;
So YOU be quiet,
I’m not listening!
Just because you say
Does not mean it’s true…
I am the legacy of what came BEFORE you!
From the DNA of the Subsaharan Africans
Where scientists traced the birth of us humans!
Remember that we are ALL 99.9% the same!
The diaspora from Africa to Asia to Europa
And eventually to North America and South America,
Australia and Antarctica…
We are ALL from the MOTHERLand of AFRICA!
THAT is truth!
I am that TRUTH!
But you choose NOT to see me!
So you don’t get to define me based on a falsity!
Afro-Ancestral DNA already told you OUR story…
So Down with your Pseudo ideology of Supremacy!
I refuse to give you the soot!
For in the words of Gordon Lightfoot:
“I will never be set free as long as I’m the ghost you can’t see…”
