NEW YEARS EVE 2020 – GIVING THANKS FOR…
GIVING THANKS FOR LOVE
Giving thanks for life
Giving thanks for air and water
Giving thanks for birds in the tree
Giving thanks for belching stomach as we are blessed with food to eat
Giving thanks for time to retreat, recoup and reset
Giving thanks for opportunities to realign
Giving thanks for art and music
Giving thanks for culture for spiritual practices and enlightenment
Giving thanks for eyes that cry, tears that soothe and cleanse all sorrow away
Giving thanks for survival and lessons learned
Giving thanks for strength to keep taking one step at aa time, moving forward always, tis yes, thy doth rest from time to time,
Alas, give thanks again, a new year, a new day, cometh.
We give thanks…

Afro futurism within Afropolitanism
Afro futurism

Afropolitan Melodies
Afropolitan
Afropolitan is a term constructed from the name Africa and the ancient Greek word πολίτης, meaning ‘citizen’. It is an attempt at redefining African phenomena by placing emphasis on ordinary citizens’ experiences in Africa. Afropolitanism is similar to the older Panafricanism ideology. Wikipedia
Melodies, plural of melody
Melody A melody, also tune, voice or line, is a linear succession of musical tones that the listener perceives as a single entity. In its most literal sense, a melody is a combination of pitch and rhythm, while more figuratively, the term can include successions of other musical elements such as tonal color. Wikipedia
I’m back
OMG!! What a time we are in!!
Words depart from me
I dare not speak out
words return to me
i must, i must speak out
silence me no more oh woes of distant pasts
silence me no more ye voices of the present blast
i will, i will speak out
i must i must speak out
