NIGGER I Am

Non-violent Intellectual Granting Graceful Executed Resistance

Nubian Icon God Gave Exhorting Rhetoric

Noble Identity Genesis Genetics Engendered Repopulation

Navigator Inventing Global Gestation Ethnic Resolve   

Niger, Ivory-Coast, Ghana, Guinea, Egypt, Rwanda

No one asked me if I wanted to come

Instead, you kidnapped me and murdered some

Graves for the weak the sea became

God granted life to those that remained

Enslave my body, but not my soul

Reclaiming the identity that slavery stole

Election

Why should my eyes wail with rivers of tears

While people like me fill the air with cheers

Celebrating a President that looks like me

A feeling that my people are finally free

Could it be that Dr. King’s Dream was really true

Equality and justice for Black people too

Through Non-violence and Black Power, the White House we gain

Yet, floods of hatred, bigotry, and prejudice still rain

Iron chains to prison cells, it’s all the same

Constructional freedom, yet enslaved the brain

Chattel, Contraband, Collateral, contained

Brainwashed identity, Conscience proclaimed

A country divided, birth certificate in hand

Glimmers of Dr. King’s Promised Land

“Your people have made it” un-melanin distain

Is it just slavery by another name                                          ~Moffett~ 3 Jan 2018 

Margret’s Best

Did not the Father sacrifice His Son

That the life of many be saved by One

Can not a mother in love proclaim

The freedom of her children all the same

Tenacity, perseverance, a destiny to keep

Chased like an animal, backs were beat

The road to freedom, was it self-defeat

Could Heaven and peace be the prize to keep

A cross, a knife, cold water you say

Is to great a price for freedom to pay

One for His sheep, wondered astray

The other’s, a mother’s bird's, Emancipation Day
