What is Anti-Indoctrination?
An excuse for all of you who want to say “Eii, this girl likes big brɔfo papa!”
Well, what it is, is a lexivist poem. As you know by now my life basically revolves around this thing – lexivism.
Why did I give it such a long name?
Well I’m supposed to be dispelling your previous indoctrination about how powerful words are, aren’t I? I’m not about to dumb it down for anyone’s convenience. When I wrote it in a burst of anger in a dark room in school sometime in January 2015, this is the first title that came to mind, and it’s what I stuck with. It does absolute justice to what I want the entire poem to mean.
Who’s Anti-Indoctrination for?
It’s “For the ones who accidentally started to believe that their words were not adequate means to achieve their dreams.” And what am I trying to say to them about their dreams? “I’ve got one piece of advice, and with two words, I’ll end: Chase them.”
What is Akotowaa telling them to do?
Speak, speak, speak (which you can do in the form of writing) and never stop! “They shut you down. Call you rude. Say you have a sharp tongue. But that just means you make cutting remarks and it tears the fabrics of their egos apart at the seams. So (Sew). Keep cutting, as I thread my message together.”
Let the fire burn on, guys, girls, lexivists.
