Kola Boof “Fraud” (A Poem)

                               By Kola Boof

The White Caucasoid has a religion

He legislates
who is
REAL
who is not

He's the motherfucker I came all this way to Kill
--mistaking my nilotic blood
for her cold Ivory snot

when I had my first baby

When I had my first baby . . .  this White woman expected
that I would put my baby down
and
march with her in the streets
the bloody Kotex in our hot, angry hands!
She says out of her mouth . . .
the same mouth she uses to eat with
That two-faced White Bitch says to my African face:
"Sister."
And she thought I should put my baby down.
So just imagine...how many ways she
calls me
racist

she calls me racist....because I don't
EVER
put my baby . . . down, who came out of the Nile between
my legs,
I don't ever watch my baby drown

Go get your newspapers . . . niggers!
Yes, you...niggers in Ghana, in Sudan, in America...in London
and don't let Mother Africa forget the niggerstock from Jamaica.
After all, you believe in
Tarzan
don't you?
You believe one drop makes you "White"
Ain't that right, niggers?
You believe the Arab and the Muslim is your brother . . .who looooves
you
don't you, niggers?
Nevermind what Mommysweet told your lost Black asses.
'Cause let us not forget . . . sometimes you feel like
a motherless child.

Cowardly MIXED up bastards!

My name is SUDAN. I am the goddess flower; I am the Nile. I love above
all the men's Gods...my children.

Kola Boof. What kind of name is that? What kind of spell is
this charlatan woman trying to sell us? Why is it that her Black flesh
only makes us think of...carnal things...why is it that her mouth spews
flies from it . . . lies
Why is it that she is ugly to us. Why is it that her
story is one we have NEVER believed?
Why is it that any Muslim would want to kill her?
And how is it that a Muslim Arab newspaper devoted an entire
article to her . . . a woman . . . a woman written about and denounced
in a place where women are rarely ever mentioned?


What is it about Africa . . . that everything from it . . . is a fraud? Or a
curse? Or unbelievable? Or dare Jesus Christ say it . . . "nappy"?
And who
does this uppity Fire Witch think she is?
Who told her she could come here and kick her shoes off?

I am SUDAN. I am a wife. tima . . . selah, selah.
Once...I had a God who loved me. His black serpent entered all
inside the fleshy corridors of my palace.
This was how I created the earth's first garden.
In our unreality...we took delight; we were high on the Sun.
And when the eyes of my Rapists fell upon me...they thought that I
preferred deceit...Deceit...
above true love.

I am Sudan. I am the mother of my father.

I am born under the Goddess
of Trees (March). Men are trees. I am baptized by Buk. I am

Naima, the one who is Victorious; the one
who is praying.
I am the maker of the holy coffee (tima usrah)
I am Kola Boof. I am not a fraud.
Not even death can Silence me.
I came to stay.

Sudan's acclaimed women's writer KOLA BOOF has written the poem "Kola Boof Fraud" as a response to the White established media's continuing portrayal of her as.."a conniving Black prostitute (and liar) seeking publicity to sell her books" (New York Times, Dec. 11th 2002).

Ms. Boof also laments the unforgivable betrayal of her activism by the Sudanese People's Liberation Army, who, because they're opposed to her unconventional womanist image, have identified themselves as her enemies in that article. Kola Boof no longer supports the SPLA..but shall always be a devoted activist for the South Sudanese--who have dubbed her "Queen Kola", because they...the poor and oppressed...are the ones who know her heart and its sincerity. Her vision of her career..has always been inclusive of their struggle.

Kola Boof was just named the #1 bestselling author for the entire year of 2002 by The African American Literary Book Club.Com (for online sales). She is a revolutionary and a womanist. Here is her new poem.."KOLA BOOF FRAUD".
