Those of the Beautiful Race--- The Ethiopian with thy beauty--- Aristotle tried to relegate you To a slave for lack of Logos. There is nothing inherent in you That can steal this gift from you. However, if the Cracker steals it--- And they do---then men of all races Will be subject back under a yoke and bondage. For understanding is the foundation of our freedom And without it, there is only force. Without it, there is only war. And powerful men and women--- Black, white or brown--- Will steal from us, who are less fortunate--- Our voice. Understanding, wisdom It is anyone's gift who seeks it. Do not revive the sins of the past By burning with fire the very Word Which will set you free.
