“My brother's keeper”
 “Oh I think he has done it again!”
 said one elder,
 turning his nose towards the sky
. “Are you sure?”
 The other asked.
“Yes I have!
I shall never forget
the wailing of Evidence
before
he became Trust
This is not
about me
this is
about
my brethren
all of them
all colours
all creeds
all races
all ages
all
men
again
I witness
hate
in my land
my Africa
my home
our soil
stained
with blood
with burning
flesh
as
so many
 times
before
this
time
it is
Afro
not
Xeno
they
do
not
get it
the
No.1 Chief
His King
His subordinates
his
people
us
all
of us
do not
get it
as in
2008
they
don't
as
in
the dawn
of man
they don't
Cain
is
still asking.
Am I
my brother's
keeper
Yes you are
in your
veins
you are
in your
skin
you are
in your skull
you are
because
you are
man
you are
Hue Man
you are
the image
of
Hector
the
Spector
of
Hector
is taunting us
calling us
reminding us
what
we are
The Wall" by artist Clinton Fein. Referenced work:
The Wall by Pink Floyd. Video installation

Remember
1976
know
we shall
repeat
it
the
"Afro"
way
the
 "Xeno"
way
If
we
do not stop
an think
and talk
and
care
about
our
BROther
Amen
