Remembering a Great Hero

Afrikan souls having established
the greatest and most enduring examples of civilisation ever to exist- imagine
if their ascendants in the now were to be in a dire state of existence abandoning
knowledge of themselves and the empowerment of their glorious achievements. Whether
the Afrikan souls are presently located here, there or elsewhere – these souls
are the natural inheritors of superlative civilisation. Yet, if the superlative
civilisations of themselves have been forgotten and souls are left to roam in
the wilderness of disconnectedness from self, then civilised construction in
the now can suffer to state the least. Any such acute lack in the lives of the
natural inheritors of grand civilisation and the conditions imposed upon
Afrikan souls during a time of interruption and disruption can be painful when recognised.
Yet still, this pioneering and primary people of creation can – and surely must – draw from the vital lessons of their natural norm of highly civilised construction as well as the necessary lessons that emerge from disrupted experience in order to lift themselves into fullest flourishing.
Whilst there are disturbing occurrences that may bring tears of sorrow in, and reflective of the time, they can also be replete with crucial lessons to enhance fortitude for continual self-determined progression.
According to a contemporary mainstream source the phrase, ‘tears of sorrow’ holds the following meaning:
“Tears of anguish, tears of pain”.
If it were up to others that mean the Afrikan ill, Afrikan souls would probably be locked in a perpetual state of anguish and pain in relation to the natural self-determined norm of building for Afrikan betterment. Meanwhile, a façade of ‘all is well’ may be ‘afforded’ if Afrikans toil exclusively in service of others and to the total neglect of themselves. Indeed, others of ill may orchestrate dire occurrence in the attempt to bring about perpetual pain and anguish amongst soul people as a means of deterring this Afrikan people away from themselves – directly or by proxy.
As one world famous musical artist insightfully recalls:
“Them leave sorrow tears and blood, them regular trademark”.
Surely, the primary people of creation and exceptional pioneers of culture and civilisation ought not continually succumb to the destructive dysfunction of others that mean them ill. Surely, this people cannot abandon themselves nor their norm of highly civilised construction and its perennial security.
The great hero Omowale Malcolm X with his superb analytic wisdom highlights the dastardly deeds of others that mean the Afrikan ill and the effect on Afrikan life thus:
“So they very skilfully make you and me hate our Afrikan identity, our Afrikan characteristics. You know yourself that we have been a people who hated our Afrikan characteristics. We hated our heads, we hated the shape of our nose, we wanted one of those long dog-like noses, you know; we hated the colour of our skin, hated the blood of Afrika that was in our veins. And in hating our features and our skin and our blood, why, we had to end up hating ourselves”.
In whatever location and whatever station, level or status Afrikan souls can restore self-knowledge, learn the lessons of their experiences, secure themselves from destructive imposition and build in service of their betterment accordingly. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
