Build Where You Stand – Erect

The outward, amplified and obvious expression of grand civilisation can be seen in the built-up towns, cities and nations of splendour that the primary people of creation brought to be throughout their continuum. These structures of upright substance reflect the highly cultured norm of this soul people’s lives. Indeed, for their outward municipal and architectural excellence to have been realised, cultured life had to have been erect and true.  Their highly cultured core necessarily remained in tact wherever this people determined themselves to be and they erected the functional establishments to service their lives accordingly.

A contemporary mainstream source offers the following meaning to the word erect:

“Rigidly upright or straight”.

Unfortunately, in a state of interruption and disruption and subject to the destructive impositions of others that mean the Afrikan ill, soul people may be derailed from their constructive excellence of upright straightness in relation to themselves. Of course, others may well revel at that prospect that Afrikan souls could be shoehorned into haemorrhaging all their efforts to build for others and to the total neglect of their Afrikan selves.

Despite the challenges of destructive imposition, it is only Afrkan souls themselves that can restore their erect posture for self-determined building to be realised wherever located. Here, and by extension, the popularised sentiment of ‘keeping things on the straight and narrow’ holds some meaningful substance if applied to specifically to the necessary constructions for Afrikan life’s fullest flourishing. As one mainstream source puts it this phrase reflects:

“the way of propriety and rectitude”.

Can Afrikan souls erect for themselves all that is required for their highly civilised norm and fullest flourishing? Surely, the Afrikan must. From whatever station, level or status this soul people ought to recover the knowingness of who and what they are and constructively express themselves accordingly.

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X emphatically reminds Afrikan souls that fallacies persist in the modern world that are detrimental to the norm of Afrikan constructive life if they take hold:

"It's a crime, the lie that has been told to generations of black men". 

For this primary and pioneering people of culture and civilisation, rightful responsibility to build superlatively remains true. It would be a dire travesty to deny themselves of their natural magnificence in the now or in time to come. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
