“Stay Woke, Stay Human (Sonnet)

BLACK is Brave, black is Leaderly,
Adventurous, Conscientious and KINGly.
LATINO means Loud, Loving And Tenacious,
latino means Ingenious in Obscurity.

WOMAN is Wonder Obstinate, woman is
Miracle Awake, and Nature-incarnate.
PRIDE means Passionate and Resilient,
Indefatigably Daring in Endearment.

MUSLIM is Merciful, muslim is Unbending,
Sincere and Lively, Insightfully Magnetic.
ASIAN means Amiable, asian means Strong,
Inquisitive, Ambitious and Neighborly.

Hateless, Undivided, Mindful And
Neurodiverse - that's HUMAN.
Mind carries its own detergent,
stay woke and stay human!”
Abhijit Naskar, Azad Earth Army: When The World Cries Blood

Manning Marable
“Ghana was a thoroughly triumphal visit for Malcolm X, with exception of one sour event: As Malcolm was departing from his hotel on the way to the airport, he bumped into Muhammad Ali, who was touring West Africa, and Ali snubbed him. Later Ali eagerly expressed his unconditional loyalty to Elijah Muhammad, ridiculing Malcolm to a New York Times correspondent and laughing at the “funny white robe” his onetime friend wore and his newly grown beard. “Man, he’s gone. He’s gone so far out he’s out completely.” With words he would later regret, the boxer added, “Nobody listens to that Malcolm anymore.”
Manning Marable, Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention
