À propos de cet audio
"Before my version begins to fade,
Let me relieve what happened today.
Today was not a lifetime of discrimination and shame,
But of celebration as a Black man living in Ukraine."
— culled from the epigraph
A brave and explorative artisan
Calm exterior, but he was born a warrior
A Leon not bothered about territory
A Leon who hunted alone...
And a Leon who hurt alone...
With a free prefrontal cortex, he came prepared for learning..
And learn he did, as his memory campus would get soiled with complex realities.
In my first anatomy tour, all I saw were dry cadavers,
But by the end of my tenure, I saw my own fresh blood.
No tribal marks, but you can tell he started out with an afro
And in this foreign soil, explorations were his special dish...
To-and-fro he evolved...and no, he didn't hail from the safari
From a genial ark, but he always kept his wits about him
And when he stepped out, he was like a fresh aphrodisiac...
Through his eyes, you could hear all of his favorite tunes...
Black vanilla at his core as he had a thing for interfacing...
General with a stylus brush...
Hankie forever in the back pocket.
Like his paws, his heart appears four-chambered,
But on closer inspection, you see a fifth chamber a short distance away from the rest
A blind cub walking in the midst of hyenas
With lesions so deep, they suffocated him where it hurt most....
The pages are filled with art and expression...
As I relive this once-in-a-lifetime experience
Which shaped me into the man I am today.
