Write me an Ode, To The motherland That births black oil Tell her, that her children Have almost forgotten Her. As her traits are traded For the white mans knowledge And melanin is now bleached For a bright glowing skin. There is need for her, To call her children together Under the mango tree And reinstall the black attitude. For mother earth yearns for her To tell the story of our heroβs past And instill our negritude. Write me an ode to blackness. -Rejibudu
