M-A-S-T-A-M-A-N-D-A uses its poetic  moral strength to pray the "citizens of colonialism and slavery" to start to dignify themselves, now that we are in the 21st century. Bearing a non-colonial or a non-slavish name is the beginning of my civilization, dream of a new beginning, enlightenment and freedom which we are yearning for. Thus M-A-S-T-A-M-A-N-D-A is an attempt to control one percent, just one percent of my identity and a percent of my human-head-destiny, as signified and sustained in the Book of Knowledge/Book of Enlightenment.
