NOSTALGIC BLACK.

TIMOTHY NYAKUEYDZWA, FINE ARTIST, CENTRAL SAINT MARTINS, UAL.

See there is such a thing as Nostalgic In the presence of one mind The melanin of one skin Distanced From the empowerment of oneself The powerless political feel That flows through the melanin skin Of the shadow american flag That reflects political disguised messages

Black The word expressed as NIGGA Carrying so much weight Stigma Discreating the presence of one Self-being The word with such power, in the black culture Defining one-self With such pre-mature understanding
