Negritude…

A conceptual ideology in the tenets of humanity

A construed solidarity in a common black identity

Abstruse in such arcane a concept?

Negritude…

The negritude of which cannot be discounted

The negritude of which is not disease but sustenance

Its wrath and beauty shared equally and impartially

 will not traverse in the ever changing face of the land’s flora

The gratuity of Black inadequacies and triumphs

its eccentricities, its failures, its felicities….

the foundation of negritude

forever obscured beneath the sand

But reincarnates itself

Into me
