FUCK YES So, bandage up me eye Bandage is a verb (this will important later) and shows how his own history is being hidden and suppressed. The society he lives in does not want him to know his history and culture (dem tell me wha dem want to tell me) while he actively through the poem is reciting a mixture of first eurocentric events, but then gradually afrocentric. At the end, he says "I carving out me identity" Carving is ALSO a verb, and shows how he is now digging his own culture, finding it out and resisting the restraints put on him. Carving also could be metaphorical for an archeologist, like how he is discovering his own history just like an archeologist would
