Remembering a Great Hero

The best historical constructive
efforts of Afrikan souls is firmly etched in the annals of their grand
continuum. Their most excellent examples of self-determined flourishing can naturally
be recalled and utilised as an empowering resource in the now and in time to
come. This is a people that thrived in being the best of themselves as highly
cultured and progressive souls. With the best of their cultivated abilities
expressed came the establishment of the greatest and most enduring civilisations
ever to exist. Brilliancy of upright construction was a mainstay wherever Afrikans
determined themselves to be.
According to a contemporary mainstream source, the word best is means:
“of the most excellent or desirable type or quality”.
With knowingness of themselves this primary people of creation, delivered life constructions of the most excellent, desirable type and quality to realise their optimal flourishing and ascension. It surely stands to reason that such features life are key to this people’s lives no matter the time in which they live or the geographical location in which they exist.
So what then of the best constructions of Afrikan souls in a state of interruption and disruption? If it were up to the others that mean the Afrikan ill, the ‘best’ of Afrikan building efforts would be shoehorned into servicing others and others only. If Afrikans were to succumb to such dire circumstance, ‘best’ would be relegated to a being figurative descriptor at best. For, Afrikans cannot truly be the be the best of themselves and build the best for themselves subject to – and in service of – the destructive imposition of others of that mean them ill.
Therefore, for Afrikan souls to be realise their constructive best naturally required self-determined cultivated effort steeped in self-knowingness on their part. The time, resources and energies haemorrhaged in service of vices of ill can be the cause of great depletion rather than empowerment – an oppositional state to being at ones best.
It is for Afrikan souls themselves to determine what is best possible for themselves whether here, there or elsewhere. It is for Afrikan souls themselves to determine the best constructions of themselves whether here, there or elsewhere. It is for Afrikan souls themselves to restore necessary levels of self-knowingness and cultured living in the best ways possible whether here, there or elsewhere. It is for Afrikan souls themselves to make progressive steps in regards to their betterment for their best from whatever station, level or station whether here, there or elsewhere.
The great hero Omowale Malcolm X with his metaphorical brilliancy of expression articulates with great insight the following:
“Before you and I came over here, we were so well balanced we could toss something on our head and run with it. You can’t even run with your hat now. You can’t even keep it on. Because you lost your balance. You’ve gotten away from yourself. But when you are in tune with yourself, your very nature has harmony, has rhythm, has mathematics. You can build”.
If then, Afrikan people reconnect with who and what they can realise the best of themselves and build for themselves in the best possible ways accordingly. Civilisation as a phenomenon necessarily requires construction to be established. Or, to put it another way, civilisation is not of happenstance.
