“On Watching Empires Rot” is a powerful spoken-word reflection on the illusion of progress, the decay of empire, and the enduring strength of those who have survived history’s deepest injustices. With unflinching truth and lyrical defiance, this piece dismantles the myth of Western moral superiority, reminding us that while empires crumble, the spirit of Africa—and its descendants—rises unbroken.
It is not merely a poem about America’s decline, but a call to recognize the cycles of greed and injustice that have shaped the modern world. Yet, within the ruins, there is renewal. Within the ashes, there is the seed of rebirth.
This is a tribute to resilience, to those who braided hope into their hair, who carried songs as maps, and who continue to plant, sing, and rise when empires fall.
Listen. Reflect. Remember. Rise.
