"Incantation
(Taught to me by Armah and Kambon)
Two thousand seasons of restless sleep
Beneath the destroyers of ourselves
To disconnect our consciousness
Lines drawn in denial of deeply textured souls
Okra/Ka/Se
Life/Force/Energy
Nyama
They knew even as we slept
That our spirit was more powerful
Than their white death
In our will-less sleep
We have allowed the Earth to be defiled
The wake of two thousand seasons
Of spiritless matter....
Destroyers' work.
Confusion in Maafa aftermath
Within our lost knowledge
Enemies have blurred the line
Between us and them.
Are we destroyers ourselves?
No - We are the Springwater
Compelled by Ancestral consciousness
Egun/Nsamanfo
Issuing from Ani's womb
We divine a victorious destinity
Ifa/Odu
We are awakening,
Announcing ourselves, self-determining
With Nubian will
Crystal vision
Shaping a new reality
Ancient genius rediscovered
So Dayi - They Clear Word
Balancing the scales
Restoring spirit to matter
The Whole completed
Made cosmic again.
Rhythm is the key to the Way
Alternating Death with Life
Joining us to each other.
We are the Healers.
The Victory is ours!
We call upon Onyame, Olodumare, and Amma
Invoking the Nommo-power of Blackness
Carried in the genes of Race Memory
Hesse!
Ancestors and Children to be born
Keys to the circles of connectedness
and clarity
Africa redeemed
The universe in harmony
Return and move forward
To the way
Of a natural order
Africa World Order
Resplendent refection of Ma'at
Ase!"
