Tracks from Before

It was in the pen
long long before
From thence came
the ritual force
It was of the den
long long ago
In it craves
our large ego

Independence:
A lonely way
to lovely rays
Parting of ways
Making forays
In the pen thence
in the den hence
Be it of past, present
or future
the tense won't work
sans culture, sans nurture

Independence:
A tortuous way
to make hay...
Leaving the cookie jar
and rising to par
All in the den
still by the pen...
Now for our say
sure in our way

Independence:
The tour of vision
the tear of forces...
And the tracks of honour
leading from before
Ahoy!


The stern message to poor ex-colonies is to learn not to forever-moan. Several of today's great nations were also colonized before! And we speak directly to our leaders and the media in the African, Caribbean and Pacific, ACP, regions of the world. Wake up, folks....the sun is high!

We have legitimate claims to express apologies plus reparations, especially on the slavery mess, but we ain't gonna stay prostrate until and unless we got them...are we? The Jews didn't wait, did they? Now they're getting the best of all worlds!

If you do not say "I AM", no one will say "THOU ART"!

Now, ACP, arise-work-and-shine. Then, assert.
