decolonize


Paper Box
                  After Dr. DJ Kuttin Kandi

Decolonize your critical condition
Decolonize your doubt

Decolonize your declaration of independence
Decolonize your pledge of allegiance

Decolonize your heaven
Decolonize your religion

Decolonize your season for cyclical evolution
Decolonize your calendar

Decolonize your history
Decolonize your complicity with your exploitation
Decolonize your complacency to be condemned

Decolonize your conditional sovereignty
Decolonize your national capacity of empathy

Decolonize your poverty based on inherent inferiority
Decolonize your exterior posterity

Embrace your beauty African Diasporican
Searching for brighter mananas because
Today is bleak midnight

Decolonize your vision
Looking for tragic ending even when
There is a heroic arc to your twisted tale
Decolonize your expectations

You will never fail
Living up to collective struggle of oppressed people across planet

Decolonize your privilege

Recognize your blessings
Make room for sacrifice
Allow humility to shape your growth

Decolonize your hope based on assumption
Materials will deliver salvation

Decolonize your attitude

We are no longer on the plantation
