Africans
|
A closed window looks down On a courtyard, and black people call across or scream across or walk across defying physics in the stream of their will
Our world is full of sound Our world is more lovely than anyone's thou we suffer, and kill each other and sometimes fail to walk the air
we are beautiful people with African imaginations full of masks and dances and swelling chants
with African eyes, and noses, and arms though we sprawl in Grey chains in a place full of winters, when what we want is the sun
we have been captured brothers, and we labour to make our getaway, into the ancient image, into a new correspondence with ourselves and our black family. We read magic now we need the spells, to rise up return, destroy and create What will be the sacred words
Immamu Barkat ( Leroi)

Re: Africans (Re: ragaa makkawi)

الحبيبه رجاء مكاوي سعيده بوجودك هنا.كنت دوما اتسأل يا رجاء انه غير مفهوم لدي تماما كيف بعد خروجنا باعداد كبيره للعالم ومعاناتنا من التفرقه العنصريه ان كان في الدول العربيه او الغربيه كيف لازال بعضنا يمارس العنصريه تجاه بعضهم البعض.
وكيف لا نحرص على نقل تجارب شعوب تطورت وقطعت شوطا كبير في مجال تحجيم العنصريه ومحاربتها لبلادنا ولو عبر الكتابه لشعبنا في مكانا مثل هذا؟؟ ولي عوده ..
كوني بخير. تراجي.

Dear ADIL
ofcourse i do and i am very proud of it
