Your Time Out of the ruins of ages, from under the wreckage of civilizations that never got a fair chance, you are the first generation of African youth in nearly 28 centuries to have a chance to determine your own destiny. You contain in your very genes the capsulized history of Black people from the beginning of humanity, the first humanity, the first human beings, the first civilizations, the first federation of states, the first nation, all along the source of the African Nile River.  This is your time. In a concentrated form, you are a walking universe, demanding rebirth, redemption, renewal.  You are the answer to questions posed in the hulls of death ships packed with millions of Black sons and daughters who asked:  Is staying alive worth it?  Will my suffering be in vain? Should I see this through? Does this life lived have any meaning?    Because you were born, this world is potentially a better place; but it will only be so if you make it.  For even the strongest of us, this is a heavy burden.  It won't be easy.  Being Black, you've lived long enough to know that people are used to taking advantage of us, beating us down, standing on our necks, running over us, cheating us, discriminating against us, holding us down, telling us we are nothing and treating us with no respect.  But who cares what they think?  There time of having there way with us is over.  In this new era, this new moment, this new time everything meaningful will be contested, nothing of value will come without a battle, the battle front will be everywhere, there will be no sheltered rears.

When you sort it all out, this is an extremely fertile moment---a moment pregnant with possibilities. You must seize it.  It can go either way.  As you look ahead, the future may appear far away; yet in time if you look back, you may wonder how time passed so quickly. But time asks no questions.  It unceremoniously moves on without you, leaving you behind if you cannot keep up the pace.  Value the time you have now and use it wisely, never wasting a moment. Or, surely you will regret it in the end. How long does a human being live: one year, 10 years, 50 years, 100 years? A mere grain of sand on a trillion beaches. Do not waste your life. This episode is unfolding with a quickness and you are being  asked by history to write a different ending.  Sure, you were dealt this hell-of-a hand in which every step you take you are paying somebody else's dues.  This is the weight of a slave history, a history not properly faced or buried by our foreparents.  You can't pray your way out of a hangman's noose; you must plan, prepare, and fight your way out of enslavement.  Over 600,000,000 of our people were mass murdered in the genocidal Holocaust of Black Enslavement, the Maafa---and no gods of the enslavers saved them.  They lived in misery, suffered daily, died in misery, and (as was the case in the mass burial plots discovered in New York City), they were just thrown in a hole with dirt thrown on top of them.  They came in like a lamb, but today we must live like lions.  Prepare well; this is your time.  Travel each and every highway.  Do what has to be done.  See things through.  Give your best.  Be bold. Be wiser.  Be tougher.  Be stronger.  Stick together.  For nothing will seem impossible if you believe.  In this moment you will be forced by the times to be strong again, to learn what it is to be home again, learn why our hearts are saying its time again.  Then, you can find out where your heart belongs again; your mind and body will follow.  You don't get a chance to do it again.  What is done is done. Do not waste time floating around when you have 7,000 years of documented cultural answers directly in front of you in ancient Kmt.  Our ancestors paid in blood to give you this opportunity to right this Great Wrong-the predatory invasions, the destruction of classic Black civilization, the dispersal of Black populations, the Holocaust of enslavement and its devastating aftermath in modern colonization, neocolonization, and parasitic globalism.   Our best ancestors devoted whole lives to meaningful work, study, and contemplation of things divine.  They lived in a disciplined manner, which is the secret to moral, mental, and martial longevity.  They did right for right sake; they confessed their own errors in life, they admitted their own mistakes, they were self correcting.  They did not wait on a Jehovah, God, or Allah to judge them; they lived life for Maat, for balance, for justice, for the right of it all.  They were not trying to purchase everlasting life; faith without works was as dead then as it is now.  The built for the ages.  They stood tall.  They practiced simplicity, calmness, ferocity, self control, perseverance, and in everything, justice. By their very lives they set living examples of pure, purposeful and worthy lives. We should model them today. Today we are remembering: For we once were first, now last they have made us. We once were alive; now, to death they have sentenced us. We once led; now, following them is all we do. We once lived free, now we rot away kidnapped in their strange stolen lands working as unappreciated pack mules for their ostentatious off-springs in Africa and the Diaspora. We once built Black civilizations, now we build civilizations for those who have historically harmed us in the worst of ways--from crib to grave. We run around with their names, clothing, hairstyles, diets, holidays, calendars, greek-letter fraternities, sororities, core curriculum for our miseducation, language, religions, values of right and wrong, ethics of good and bad---everything for them and nothing for ourselves.  Essentially, in a murderous epoch of invasion, enslavement, extermination, land seizure, colonization, imperialism, and neo-colonization they won, we lost. And so under globalism and the new world order, they now have everything that belonged to us, and we have nothing but our own selves.  And yet our greatest solution exists within our own selves, with you holding the keys to our collective future in your hands. Victory comes to those who are prepared, believe in what they know, and heedlessly do what must be done.  Once you understand what has happened, don't give up on your faith.  Change must first come from within.   Study something about yourself daily and work to change anything you know is wrong about you---everything. This is your time.

"Do not be arrogant because of your knowledge; confer then with the ignorant as with the learned. The limit of art has not been reached, and no artisan has mastered his craft.  Beautiful speech is more hidden than gold. It is found in the possession of the impoverished woman at the millstone." "If you become a leader, governing the masses, seek for yourself every beneficent act, so that your conduct is without blemish. Ma'at is great and its effectiveness endures.  It has not been moved since the time of our beginnings." "Do not repeat slander, nor should you listen to it, it is the sprouting of the hot-heads.  Report a thing observed, not heard.  If it is negligible, don't say anything.  The one before you recognizes worth, not empty words.  Defamation is like a dream against which one covers the face." Ptahhotep

"If you probe the character of a friend, don't inquire but approach.  Deal alone, so as not to suffer them embarrassment.  Dispute with them after a time, test their heart in conversation;  ...if annoyed by them, be yet friendly, don't attack;  be restrained, don't let fly, don't answer with hostility, neither part from them or attack.  Their time does not fail to come, one does not escape what is fated." "As for the fool who will not hear there is no one who can do anything for them. For they regard knowledge as ignorance and what is beneficial as something that is harmful."  Ptahhotep
