    Our Dream                   1/21/01




Centuries of life has been documented
on scrolls and papyrus

they call it history
but
when we break the word history down
what do we come up with:

His Story.
and this is what has our people struggling
to coop with the hardships of ghetto and project life.

we have been told a false history.
now we are living in times where our own
sisters and brothers are either
selling or doing drugs,
killing or being killed,
and
backstabbing or getting stabbed in the back.

It's the oldest trick in history books,
divide and conquer.(sun tzu)

they put a group of us together,
make us live like animals
so that we begin to believe ourselves animals,
then once that has happened,
they gather a handful of us
whom they feel they can trust and
migrate them into mansion(big house).

this way they separate the grimy
from their animal environment...
feeling saved by the slave master
giving them a superiority complex
over their brothers and sisters
that were left in the killing(cotton) fields...

through different trials and tribulations over the years
the field slaves begin to unconsciously dispise the house slaves.

okay lets take this a step further and
we are not allowed to speak our native tongue
and have to learn on our own their language,
their religion,
their culture,
and people wonder why we speak the way we do...

so instead of getting busy dying...
we choose to get busy living.

we finally decide to try your language,
but
the people we have to learn from
want to keep us dumbfounded to their plots and conspiracies,
so they don't teach us their so called precious english.

therefore we form our own language
which becomes some form of their english
and instead of letting us own our own creative adaptation
to a hellish situation
they call us ignorant
for not speaking proper english.

Now in present day america we have founded
our own language of communication across the board,
EBONICS...

however,
to no avail
we still get no respect
because the people that onced enslaved us,
now say our unwritten language is unacceptable
among their race of high-class whigs.

so you ask what is the solution to our pollution
in this so called free world?...

REVOLUTION!!!
is our only choice
if we are ever to receive our own just constitution...

but before any of this can ever
evolve we have to undo 500 years of oppression
and
division....


can our Dream come true?
