Ethnic Repose Poem by raymond letsitsa

Ethnic Repose



Nowadays the mind of the God of the holy
Bible
Battles with the thoughts
of the God in the holy Koran
What of the mind of the God in the Mormonist
Bible

'How Rastafari dem seh wi
Haffi name dem
Babylan'

Don't believe these bleeding pastors
They wanna lead us all to hell
Shutting your lips with God's Testament
So that their secrets you may not tell
Once saw Satan like lightning from heaven fall
To form illuminati here
You're the greatness of your own making
With words never believe in what you hear
Witches can sing songs that move you in a vision
Never let them close your ear
It's the force of your Spirit man that keeps demonic powers at bay
Police men pedophiles en masse surround
campuses to rape the gay
If anti-black like xenophobia
I kill you quicker than Marikana Miners
With words of truth like love poems,
I send visions like Zambian deviners
Feeling like the fruit Adam ate
Because satan snatched
eternity like a purse

'Ahn Jehova Witness ah wonder still
Why Jah nu waan
remove di curse! '

My brethren steal and blame
the hunger,
Not acknowledging defeat
Behind bars are those who raped, murdered
and stole, with scorching feet
My sisters wake up nightly
To sell their bodies in the street
To street kid timers who
Grew up swallowing vermin
under the African heat
It's because you grew up in a shack
and now live in a mansion they wanna kill you
They may throw stumps in your path
but ultimately you'll see your
break through
Don't blame my lameness
on my stiff inability to comprehend you
You're not the only one who's got problems,
So I understand what you
are going through.
