Freedom Cry From Prison

THE HERO OF MY COUNTRY

The heroes of my country, their or stores
are not untold.
they may be dead, but their spirits
are not cold.
Speaking of Quashi,
He was very bold.
In order to survive
He did what he was told.
He used repetitions of question he didn’t understand
in order to trick and confound the man.
You may think that he was an Uncle Tom
oh, never in your mine would you think
he was armed.
But he tricks them with obedience and remain very calm.
Brier Anancy and his son Tacoma re-established
the courage of the great Ashanti tribe among
the slaves.
Because of them they became very brave.
Toughing Paul Bogle:
A spiritual leader, but human exploitation he
could not stand.
He saw the social and economic condition of
his society and he knew that they were wrong.
So he risked being killed, beaten or harmed.
He was summoned to court to face his prey
He led a coalition to Morant Bay.
In order that slaves be paid and freed.
Credit Paul Bogle for this good deed.
His man attached and wasted the Baron away.
The Baron’s associate were roasted for fire
was on the way.
Oh, fateful was a day in Morant Bay.

Plantations were de-escalated by fire
Planters were killed
Uncle Tom was murdered.
could this action be plotted by one man?
They asked.
I said no; it was harmony of humanity and that’s
why Paul Bogle was hung.--
on a British ship called HMS Wolverine.
Sam Sharp was among the slaves in
Mo-Bay slave trade.
He rebelled against slave-trader and was
hung in Mo-Bay square.
and that’s why to this day it is called
Sam Sharp Square.
Nanny was a woman brave, powerful and strong.
Everything that the planters did - she knew they
were wrong so she stood up as a human
tall and strong because she knew that victory would be won.
She lived in a castle with secret passages so
she could access and deliver secret messages
countless times they pursued her with death on
their minds.
But in a twinkling of an eye, she was nowhere
to be found.
They shot her and killed her, but her memories
and courage’s are not left untold.
Chugghu, a slave of old
but his contribution to liberation
we could never with hold.
Marcus Garvey was a patriotic man because as
A young man, he acquired education. He saw
the system in action and to his interpretation.
It was immoral so in new-form, he published it
to everyone. He hipped the people to repatriation.
That didn’t suite the Caucasian because their

Workers were learning about their born land and
in reality they were true Africans.
He traveled the seventh seas and the Caribbean,
he spoke against human exploitation.
They created his sickness and demobilized the
movements but his prophesy of redemption was
carried on.

My love, to you I pledge my today,
for you are as bright as the sun
yesterday that gave birth to an
untold mystery, splendid, brilliant, and array.
If I attempt to say . . . my words won’t give
Way . . . words blockage, tongue lockage, Shyness birth,
False image displays. But in my heart, your
attractiveness it wants to obey when my emotion
takes the lead way . . . Suppression, Regression, and
Oppression . . . , is in the way,
and when I attempt to see today
my yesterday is constantly in my way.
Sharon my focus is on you to stay
because whole heatedly, on you my mine stays.
The visions of your eyes are as harmless as a dove’s eyes.
They are sparkling and they bring chills that activates
and cause a pulsation in my blood flows.
I am mesmerize by you presence, and your almond brown
Complexion is my desirable flavor.
Sharon, you are liken unto a peril from Ethiopia from
whence came the original Madonna, and like the river
Nile that flows from the heart of Mount Zion. You give
life to the lilies of the shores, and my heart is in
constant quest for more.
Baby, our today can bring into manifestation our
Visions of yesterday, for to you my heart is willing say--YEA
