A Meeting With Masta'
​
In this Juneteenth edition
of “The Notes Of A Sojourner,”
you are invited
to an extremely tense
“Family” reunion.
WE begin in a dimly lit room.
Using the magic
of Karmic law,
​
I‘ve summoned
Them to me.
Some of them,
I know by name;
they are the “slave-owning”
Founding Fathers
of the United States.
​​
And I:
​
their American
“daughter.”
-The Dark One.
Still,
in this dimly lit room
there are other faces.
Faces I don't know;
they are also “Fathers.”
The "Fore-Fathers:"
to humans
Colonized abroad.
And that,
is why
I have summoned
them here, today.
​​​​
80% of the world
was Colonized,
through their “Fathering."
​
So, "daddy,"
I wanna' talk
about the world
I've inherited.
​
I wanna talk about
the state of our Family:
the state of Humanity.
My dearest,
I won't lie,
"A Meeting With Masta'"
is tense.
​
Even dough,
masta' don't
know my name,
he know my sight.
​
I am Black.
I am woman.
And I am angrier
than the heat
of a million suns.
I’m the desendent daughter
of the those who survived
The Transatlantic Slave Trade:
400 years
of genocide,
rape,
human trafficking,
psychological warfare,
and all manner
of murder.
And these
Colonizing “daddies”
are about to find out,
​
that I’m in control.
