The black mans worst enemy

I sob through this story like oliver twist.
And wish that the life that we lived wasent so devilish.
Uncle bob could have never said it better than this..
Weve been truding on the wine press for way too long...
That even when the slave masters are all well gone,
Weve succumed to oppression and adapted it as a Norm.
And the saddest thing about the predicament that we are in,
Is that weve become the oppressor that oppresses our Own.
Yet we supposed to be brother's but coz we lack the same colours in skin tone,
We now suffer from light brown and dark syndrome.
Which is turning our hearts dark and breeding xenophobia and tribalism..
Which is totally tantamount to canibalism.
So if y'all dont pay attention and listen,
We are all slowly killing ourselves into extinction.
Lest we find Loves vison through religion wisdom,
We are all headed for doom or a tomb called prison.
Marcus Garvey would probably be rolling in his grave,
If he heard that nowadays black people are pimping each other like slaves.
So lets all wake up and get free,
Coz we alone hold the key to unlock our minds from mental slavery..

This was a poem i had written based upon the ills faced by the African man in what is precieved to be a white mans world.
Surely this cannot be a world for a particular race. Moreover when it comes to race, Colour is inaccurately precieved. They are no black,white Orange or Golden people.
We ar all just humans of different shades created in Gods image.
Man should therefore look beyond colour and focus more on character, as a basis of judgement on the depth of mans capabilities.
However despite your ethnicity, you are BLACK when you are in darkness. Ignorant of the light of the truth when you blindly follow any system of Opression and submission like Racisim, Xenophobia and even man made Religions.
The Quest for enlightenment from darkness can only start when man takes the blind off his eyes and starts to Question inherited beliefs and cultures.

I took the blind off my eyes to follow Christ, who is the light and lamp off my feet.
In him i have found trust and emulate his humility and walk by faith and not by sight.
Hope yall can follow his lead and find the enlightenment that i am ever discovering in the journey of my life.
Blessings to you my friend.
