under the invisible hand
“fashist an di attack

fashist an di attack
wi wi’ fite dem back
fashist an di attack
den wi countah-attack
fashist an di attack
den wi drive dem back
we gonna smash their brains in
cause they ain’t got nofink in ‘em . . .”
-Linton Kwesi Johnson
“We, who have been blinded,
are not blind
and sense when not to
trust the mind.”
-James Baldwin
it is wickedness
and not the rise and fall of markets
that brings us to throw fists
that destroys our bliss
that devolves our human-ness
we must stop dying
working for a living
fascists grow fat and rich receiving
the sweat and blood we humbly give them
it is time for studying working systems
giving reverence to those of wisdom
putting oppressors and slavemasters in coffins
preparing minds and souls for a higher ascension
being under an invisible hand
renders not the visible
know and feel the right time to stand
push back against humiliation and trouble
smash the parasites upon the working class
smash the phony representatives of righteousness
the planet is telling us it is time to act
wealth and poverty are both carried on our backs
know the facts, do not allow Creation to be crashed
when someone can control your mind
and control what you say
you have surrendered your life
as they have numbered your days
you become nothing more than a lowly slave
some things are heaven-sent
learn how to blend our talents
some things are heaven-sent
learn how to blend our talents
all hands working together
create and make Heaven evident
build a heavenly reality that is apparent
establish an everlasting heavenly monument
