Rachel Corrie

“Vampire, you feed on the life of a pure heart
Vampire, you suck the life of goodness”
- Sinead O’Connor

Rachel Corrie
should have known
the lessons of the land
from which she had grown

in every oppressor-land
it is the same story
there is no mercy
in the hearts who crushed Rachel Corrie

the racist/fascist occupation
of this nation
and its nazi-ist judicial system
are all war criminals of this brutal world
Rachel Corrie died for their sins

it is our great sensitivity
interpreted
as vulnerability
that opens the cosmo-window
revealing
a new dimensionality
setting our love free
to explore new opportunities

this is the fire
that burns all vampires

many become
the minstrel scenarios
that slavemaster-oppressors
prepare as a human rodeo

and all the bulls
are in line
to fill the thirst of happy vampires
with dance and rhyme

i cannot live in this game
of being judgmental
and casting shame

i am no fan
of having to slam
and to damn

there is nothing holy
in the land that bulldozed Rachel Corrie
only a mockery
of higher morality

there is nothing holy
within the beings who bulldozed Rachel Corrie
only a disgraced world
and a disgraced humanity

voices of liberation

“the rose is not afraid to blossom
though it knows its petals must fall
and with its petals fall seeds into soil
why toll to contain it all?
why toll at all?”
- Laura Veirs
(Carbon Glacier)

the institutions of formality
have become wicked, corrupt machinery
racists/fascists/corporatists
wearing the faces of democratic capitalists
their commitment is only to making more profits
selling people from the street to the pulpit

with secret armies and dealers of guns
they have embraced Klaus Barbie, the Butcher of Lyon
they have protected Josef Mengele, the Angel of Death
they have given demons refuge in the “West”

setting up banana republics
selling-out our name with hit-men and puppets
from Guatemala to South Africa
from Iran to Vietnam

a sinister system that guarantees
the protection of a slaveholder autonomy
by burying the history of my family
to continually feed a psychotic economy

how long can a planet survive
under the mentality
of those who even view other humans
as nothing but throwaways?

we, the People, have a choice
we, the People, have a voice
to fight against an evil rule
to go beyond flags and idols

reestablish a righteous Creation
disregard ties to organizations and nations
a “Western” (de)-education
serves only as “Western” indoctrination

the greedy, the rich, and the yes-men are catapulted
as the intelligence of the working class is steadily insulted
we are used and abused as plutocratic tools
entertained and served the diet of fools

we are manipulated en mass
by brainwashing schools
books and media under the control
of an oligarchic rule

no freedom fighter is free from the terror
of fighting for or against oppressors and transgressors
as bastard sons and daughters have shamed Mother Afrika
perpetually hiding their genocidal errors

sliding and dividing with political flim-flam
as capitalism and communism are both ruling class scams
dead-end systems and sell-out nations
taking and taking and using taxation

those who
create a lower order
are
the lower order

bigots
bombs
barriers
borders

our voices will be heard as we struggle to be free
through insurrection, rebellion, and anarchy
our voices will be heard as we fight for liberation
our voices will be heard as we build a universal nation

a New World and a new age is emerging
an unquestionable harmonic conversion
and in the words of Melvin B. Tolson, who inspired my literary eyes:
“The harder you dash a rubber ball against the ground, the higher it will rise.”

Ephemera

“So perish
all compromises
with tyranny”
- William Loyd Garrison
(upon burning a copy of the U.S. constitution)

“Wars are the result
of a flawed and unjust peace”
- Arundhati Roy

“they want the oil but they
don’t want the people they want
the oil but they don’t want the
people they want the oil but they
don’t want the people”
- Jayne Cortez
(&The Firespitters)

amerrykkka
is an assault
upon the New World

watch
as its hypocrisy
obviously unfurls

exposing
all of
the posing -

poseurs of peace
poseurs of freedom
poseurs of diplomacy
and liberty
and democracy
poseurs of humanity -
racist/fascist machinery
parasites of power
politics and greed

keep your mouth shut
just go to work
pay your bills
go home and watch T.V. -

poseurs who have loaded the language
manipulated, mangled
mutilated, mashed
minds and bodies
yet fail to recognize
or realize
their history
and hideous deeds
with the same
cycles of war
and old world strategies
- Pro-Mammon
Anti-Christianity
UnGodly
False Morality

never
have amerrykkkins
been liberals or
liberators of humans -
a supremacist agenda
is mixed in the most clever
techno-industrial blender

poseurs of love
poseurs of progress
the world’s best
hypocrites
the world’s best
in stealing, killing, imprisoning, lying
and being self-blessed -
Nature’s artificial masters -
deadly and duplicitous

let the Earth see
your true words, works
and ways
as imperial idiots
of arms, arrogance,
and slaves

i will remind you
in brutal honesty

i will remind you, as in the line of my ancestry
of the endeavor on this progressive journey
suffering,
struggling,
fighting,
building
toward the Heavenly

unbelieve

“every surface is reflecting
every line is intersecting”
- Daniel Higgs (Lungfish)

humans
are not
natural enemies -
Evil
is our enemy -
to livE backward
is our enemy -
corruption
ignorance
dysfunctionality
is our enemy -
accepting the poisoning
of all the Earth
and all technology
submitting to the need
of police and militaries
goodness reversed
into serving a wicked reality
is our enemy

oh say can’t you see
what is truly destroying
our societies
through hatred
divisions, wars
religiousity
seeking to enslave and control
a universal mentality
undermining your destiny
through brainwashing
and deceptive policies -
oh say can’t you see
the real enemy?
