Build Where You Stand – Rhetoric

There was no language and communication on the plain of humanity prior to the determination of the primary people of creation bringing it to be. From its innovative inception came profound depths of sophisticated articulation – scribed, verbal and otherwise – also developed by these primary souls. Yet, their communicative expressions existed not in an isolated vacuum of unnatural isolation for the sake of serving itself. Rather, their rhetoric held meaningful purpose. in general, as statement to serve their natural journey of pinnacle civilisation in whatever locale they had determined themselves to be.

In contemporary times the word rhetoric attracts the following meaning according to a mainstream source:

“the art of effective or persuasive speaking or writing, especially the exploitation of figures of speech and other compositional techniques”.

With this definition in mind, what then are the persuasive types of speaking or writing that prevail for Afrikan souls in a state of interruption and disruption? On the one hand, others that mean the Afrikan ill may concoct, push and peddle rhetoric with intent to render souls steeped in unknowingness of self, disempowered or even self-destructive – whether directly or by proxy. Susceptibly, some Afrikan souls may become consumed by the bogus notion that they exist only to exclusively serve the best interest of others to the total neglect or abandonment of any constructive living of their own people. On the other hand, Afrikan souls rightfully journeying to transform a less-than natural state of existence into their norm of fullest flourishing can generate rhetoric reflective of self-knowingness, upright construction and civilised living.

Self-determined upright articulation of Afrikan civilisation knows no bounds throughout the Afrikan world – in the Americas, in the Islands, on the great continent of Afrika itself and elsewhere. Agelessly, and in context of ascension, meaningful articulations surely ought to come from a place of pragmatic engagement. Here, the thrust of actual building can be inspired, described, empowered, usefully informed and furthered by upright articulation each Afrikan soul to the next.

In this, the alternative contemporary meaning to the word rhetoric can be avoided and safeguarded against if deemed a hampering vice of non-constructiveness or destructiveness. A mainstream source offers a definition to the word rhetoric in this regard:

“language designed to have a persuasive or impressive effect, but which is often regarded as lacking in sincerity or meaningful content”.

Afrikan souls surely must restore the language of highly civilised construction to their lives in whatever form possible and in whatever place they stand. This pragmatic people of creation need not succumb to a state of regression where empty meaningless, fallacious or destructive language is erroneously considered to be the ‘norm’.

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X with exceptional insight vividly highlights the importance of language:

“Once your language is gone, you are a dummy. You can’t communicate with people who are your relatives, you can never have access to information from your family – you just can’t communicate”.

Whether the Afrikan is here, there or elsewhere the language of civilisation and its construction must prevail. In so doing, Afrikan souls can again rightfully relate to each other as relatives as the imperative building effort is secured. This time into eternity.
