We be Spirit People
Long before the
Ayitians fought back
the ancients
taught that
heroes were not
made
spirit could
never be slaved
that the
Afrikan would rise again
and bring the
end of days
To end the ways of the beast
amongst us
disarm those who harm the
very least amongst us
for as much as they do unto
these of us
they do also unto the Most
High in us
they trigger quakes where
most that die is us
tourists lounging laughing
while they who cry is us
missionaries come again and
again to spy on us
Long before the
Ayitians fought back
the ancients
taught that
fiction would
be as real as fact
matter of fact?
fact won’t
matter
fact won’t
matter
Fact would seem to matter on the
surface
but under the earth
quake machines would cause faults
on purpose
purpose being
to turn Supreme Beings into corpses
same beings
who broke France's back from the
backs of horses
With no standing army or marines
they showed France who the real
boss is
shook their shackles
dealt the west their first free
labor losses
now count the costs
thirty-plus coup d’états
spiteful embargoes
and France extorting
all designed to keep Ayiti from
rising
But long before the Ayitians
fought back
the ancients taught that
Afrikans could
never be poor people
they be my
people and your people
never those
people always close people
for we people
will always be free people
no matter where
we be people
The Ancients
taught that
Spirit could
never be slaved
and we be
Spirit people
long before the
Ayitians fought back
Move The
Village
Move The
Village
To Higher Ground
Comes The Storm
