PENMIND MEDIA & CREATIVITY

Hope was tweaked on the shores of West Africa Home of the gods and the sires of earth Hearth of men with shades of night Honed to plough lands and chase the wild Live free and fruit the child A place where nothing surpassed our ascendants But a different sun berthed on us And it brought the darkest cover our land has ever seen Snatched like the field of poachers One by one men were plucked like fruit from a vineyard Selectively graded by agility and vendure Loaded on an English carrack to live out in servility A vessel as dreadful as a war tank Branded and shackled to be kept in the belly of this beast Guarded to ensure escape is a fruitless feat And then we listened as the great tide washed us away Many trembled as the ship pierced through the storms The great foggy passage to merchants and lost swarms Suns and moons passed in this horrific trunk First our beliefs, then all our dreams sunk The white coloured people fed us crumbles and a mountain of despair Made us suffer like to nothi...

Colours are the realest expressions They are certain, definite intentions The only way earth expresses its emotions Change of season and other devotions Blue, for its beautiful signs and purity Red for its temper that dissolves the skyline Black is its horror, a shade of terror White is its cuddles that touch your heart in its smearing Colours are the truest of feelings Full of communications, yet devoid of words They speak passion, rage, love, elation with fluency All colours are noble born with no disparity For they guide our way out of the wilderness Colours are instruments of the divine

My blood pumps harder than it should Energy revels in my entire space Ever ready for impact like a bullet in a barrel My heart sing songs of praise Every moment I live to embrace I think I’m going to be a hero I will rise like the falcon’s wings Thrust through injustice like an inspired agonist Build refugees a home & put others’ needs before my own Become a bridge and not a fence Cast goodwill when shown offence Give everyone a hand with just two Raise the fallen and those afraid to I don’t need money or power Or anything everybody doesn’t have I only need see with my head and my heart The world is part of me, as I of it If I can transform even just one sadness around My sadness too will go beyond being found If you want your life to really matter Then live it for yourself as well as others.
