Who is Azizag-Lockdiva? I am Azizag
the beginning and the end,
the end and the beginning,
with I in the middle.
I am Capricorn
my past becomes my future,
and my future becomes my past,
and my third eye is in the middle.
I am the equanox
equal parts of
day and night,
sun and rain,
rage and calm,
joy and pain.
I am eclectic
African slave, Europian master
Native American off the black river,
and third generation free.
Poet, griot, soothsayer
spewer of ebonic soliloquies of love,
and epiphanies of truth suppressed
by four hundred years of oppression.
Gatekeeper of the history
of our illustrious ancestry,
my voice is the echo
of a thousand years ago.
When we were
Kings and Queens,
Kings and Queens,
Kings and Queens,
Architect and Intellects,
Architect and Intellects,
Architect and Intellects,
while some still lived in caves.
I am earth, women child, and womb,
bearer of life,
and tomb
of the unknown warrior.
I am Africa, rich and fertile,
with natural resources,
and many precious jewels,
I am Azizag
