Where are the Warriors? The battlefield has been stretched, the enemy has gained more strength and the people are still scattered in their unity… Where are the Warriors? Seeds of Shaka, seeds of Malcolm, Seeds of Denmark, of Hannibal, of Harriet and all the others who carry the warrior seed, Now Is The Time… Prepare yourself, align yourself, for the people are still under attack… The people are Still disenchanted, Still in search of Dignity and Respect. Where are the Warriors?
How come the drums stopped playing and no one noticed? How come we approach each other with caution instead of love? Warriors…Have you been too subdued, duped into thinking that our race is not sinking into the depth of despair? Warriors…Do you hear the call in your soul from the ancestors or see the pain in the lives of your people? See the pain in their face; see the destruction in some of their neighborhoods? Warriors …The blood is calling…Will you answer the cries of innocence, the cries of injustice, and the cries of those who have giving up an accepted their Conditioning as Normal? Warriors our Hope depends on the likes of You… How long will you remain dormant while Racism and its Crew flex themselves with arrogance and disdain for the Nations of Color? Where are the Warriors? Is One in your house, in your heart, in your family who is willing to stop the killings, stop the onslaughts and willing to not pretend that millennium slavery does exist? Warriors if you don’t stand up, speak up, represent us then everything that our ancestors fought for and died for will have been in vain… Warriors if you are here Stand for Me, make a sound for me, let me see it in your face or hear the flames of your words… Warriors I have been commissioned to write about our dreadful conditions and to remind you that Now Is The Time, Like The Sun You Must Rise… Prepare yourself Show yourself You are Divinely protected…. Where are the Warriors? |
