Death he is afraid of us
my image is dust, of a mere mortal morphing,
the finishing touch
i am morpheus, standing on the pillars of kush
while the devil and the guru stand right here beside me
am i just becoming what my past lives remind me
stuck in this circle, trying to break free
i slayed my last demon, so where's my enemy?
i'm an analog computer
ascending something ancient from the future
scattered cross the lands of the namib sands
whose dunes weave together like naked bodies
from a dying bird's eyeview
the world looks like calamity
but only family matters, and mine is humanity
my goddess like the earth, giving birth, beautiful madness
dance rain fire sex magic
the death of being born is ever so tragic
portals to another world, i travel the forgotten road
fire flies we glow but some of us got extinguished
for flying to high
see her wings got clipped when she knocked on the sky
we band together world's apart, my word is like the fatal art
to set apart the oldest ark...
standing in the sunshine
i'm surfing the skies
and whoever said that death is real, obviously lied
i'm just suspended in time, in a delicate fine
infinite quantum design
and my mind digs mines, thru the mind traps in time
barefoot tap dancing on the sun
knowing when the end comes that we're all one
you wonder why 2011 feels so good,

cause the world graduated from being boyz N' the hood.

Fela Kuti

It used to be that musicians were the social commentators, they were the ones that spoke for the masses. For the poor and neglected, for the victims of society. Now we find ourselves perhaps with such an abundance of 'issues' in the world. But the silence from our artists and musicians is defeaning...

Fela was a Nigerian multi-instrumentalist musician and composer, pioneer of afrobeat music, human rights activist and political maverick.

He once famously stated that when Nigeria gains independence (from corrupt leadership) the rest of the continent would follow suite. Well some of their northern neighbours maybe slightly ahead of them currently, however one cannot over stress the importance of the most populous African nation. Particularly should it begin to show any signs of positive leadership.

Where are the Felas of today? Why the silence? Why is everybody so afraid of speaking out of line with the norm? Afraid of questioning our leaders, our governments.

"In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful, must also reflect decay. And unless it wants to break faith with its social function, art must show the world as changeable. And help to change it..."
