BLACK EARTH ON THE RADAR
Scientific proof:
There are as many
universes as the stars;
Implication:
There is an infinite count
of earth to outlast the human kind,
Approximately five to the
power of X-unknowns,
There's the earth of red
people;
White peoples, brown
people, yellow people, black people and other shades;
So, peradventure:
There was a cataclysmic
accident in the outta space since before time kicked off at all,
A big bang theory; a null
hypothesis,
Peradventure:; by sheer
stroke of luck,
You were shot like a
meteor into a planet filled with black lives:
That might be said to be a
geo- accident on a lottery slip,
Like a wish from a genie,
all you ever wanted was to
touch down in an island where,
Its cozy and holy,
And the peoples' garments
splotched with the crimson blood of perversion: greed, terrorism and
corruption,
Is washed away by good
governance and mutual respect for humanity,
Isles where
one-too-many-times, one is not living on an average everyday basis like an
mistake of evolution: serendipitous living,
Not knowing whether the
morning paper review will smolder the very breathe off of your body,
When the legendary
forerunners (running our messages) elected by the electorates to fix us,
transfix us as scare crows living at the caprice of the elements of our earth;
Of a secret society of
spin doctors that spin dissension in the isles,
while they laugh at
another masterful ploy of devious exploits against the plaintiff: the people,
And we, repeat unending
cycles of yesteryears of hand-downs presents from the colonial imperialists,
So like toddlers we take
off then crash land like failed engine - STATES'
National interest: a
carapace scattered like flotsam after a REGIME-ship wreckage,
The other earths view us
in the eye of their satellites, culture and technological breakthrough,
The parody of the black
lives in the face of the richest isles there ever was,
And its just like the
parable of the Great Comedy,
They say amongst
themselves 'its not rocket science!!!'
They see it, we see it,
When the forerunners take
off to outta space off this planet,
We watch our nation on the
radar regurgitating News feeds and,
Wonder why life on this
terrestrial ball appear like walking backwards in time,
Of the more you look the
lesser you see,
Of how its the hardest
possible puzzle as we approach our black earth and,
Of how its just a simple
card game from the outta space,
The hazy mystery,
violation and stripping off of our identity,
The incontinence: an
insatiable libido to be vile and fantastically corrupt,
Of why as a people, we are
sentenced to an imprisonment of traditional schizophrenia,
Repeating the same o'
mistake,
Stereotypic lunancy;
Trapped between a mid-life
crisis of a post independence juvenile delinquency and
A foolhardy centenarian
who wants to die foolish;
To this, it forever
confounds one as on a radar
Like being in a dark film
house full of strangers: a black earth,
A comedy that leaves one
wailing,
A tragedy that makes one
smile...
