Self-Actualization - a poem of love

 






I am not the problem
I am the solution
I am not the question
I am the answer
I am not the sickness
I am the remedy.

I am the chip in the cookie of life
I am the rainbow after the storm
I am the diamond in the mountain of reality
I am the gold at the end of the rainbow
I am all the possibilities that be
I am self-actualization.

I am not the object of your fantasy
I am the subject of my destiny
I am not the drama you pretend
I am the main character in my own story
I am not the reason why you failed
I am the reason why I will succeed.

I am the petal in the bouquet of tranquility
I am the vision of what can be
I am the captain of my own ship of state
I am the the promise of tomorrows yet to come
I am the culmination of all the reasons why
I am self-actualization.

I am not the problem
I am the solution
I am not the question
I am the answer
I am not the sickness
I am the remedy.

I am the cool breeze in the heat of the night
I am the wonder in the middle of the dream
I am the dream that could not be deferred
I am the hero of my own story
I am the angel that walks in light
I am the fullness of all eternity
I am self-actualization.

Who are these peoples and what is their place in the Americas? How can they exist?  Even granting such an existence, we are left with the racialized frame of asking, as Du Bois did, "What is it like to be a problem?" Can we identify humanity, as Franz Fanon and Kwame Nkrumah in the ideas of W.E.B. Du Bois and Marcus Garvey.  Throughout the diaspora in places like the Caribbean, Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East, Africa does not constitute a meaningful political or cultural unity.  They are regions and continents but not cohesive entities.  How can there be an African, a Latin American, an Asian, and a Middle Easterner, much less diasporas?   These questions go to the
