“Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we’ve shed before?
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying earth the weeping shores?”
-Michael Jackson (Earth Song)
he was a god
who married
a king’s daughter
danced
on water
he did
i learned of him
through one of
the local houses
of wax
we were
introduced
and i never
looked back
the only power
we need
is the power
to live and breathe
-JahHannibal
“Live clean
let your works be seen”
-Peter Tosh (Stand Firm)
“Love right
Live right
Everything is gonna be alright
If I and I love right”
-Midnite (Love Right)
humble to everyone
but yourSelves,
stop being
intellectually lazy
entrusting your
judgement in
the hands of others
who only seek
to smother
you
how much
lynching legislation,
even with the aid of
famed scientist Albert Einstein,
was ever passed in this country?
now, even the word
“lynching”
is used like
a preposterous joke
by the same folks
who would have a noose
around our throats
where in the cosmos
is the right place
for those who mock, ignore or destroy
what they cannot control, intimidate,
or dominate?
only a
primitive planet
would harbor
such a sinister sect
“Long long time say we go move in babylon
Raise up fi wi head and mek wi covenant strong”
-Dr. Israel (Survivor)
i no longer
waste my breath
on the hypocrites and phonies
who occupy the west
i am dreaded
my patience is shredded
they don’t know our history
they have no idea of our misery
they live their scenarios
make judgements of things they do not know
developing their favorites and fans
always failing to overstand
living the
amerrykkkan facade
without comprehending
New World mud
“O! ye that love mankind! Ye that dare oppose not only the tyranny but the tyrant, stand forth!”
-Thomas Paine
in the battle
to control minds
the rulers seek to control finances
and constrict our time
materials and products
pre-measured, dated, and stocked
treated like human slaves
advertised and placed on the auction block
true education is taken away
replaced with dysfunction and illusions
creating subjects, servants and sheep who are asleep
deliberately causing human confusion
i do not expect
the brainwashed to overstand
why the Garden of Eden
has become such a hellish land
all forms of
technological communication
bought and sold
by systems of disintegration
they cause the effect of chaos
to rule over Creation
by establishing powerful institutions
to make humans more ignorant than them
open your mind
to their game
before you have
no world to claim
“So your brother’s bound and gagged
And they’ve chained him to a chair
Won’t you please come to Chicago
Just to sing
In a land that’s known as Freedom
How can such a thing be fair?
Won’t you please come to Chicago
For the help that we can bring”
-Graham Nash (Songs for Beginners)
“America is revealing a visage stark with harshness. Nowhere is that face more contorted than in the dark netherworld of prison, where humans are transformed into nonpersons, numbered beings cribbed into boxes of unlife, where the very soul is under destructive onslaught.”
-Mumia Abu-Jamal (Live from Death Row)
where there
is a law
for everything,
there is a loophole
and a flaw
in everything
the Spirit of the Righteous
bargained away
beneath the
overturned tables
of moneychangers
has been
de-classified
re-classified
re-shaped
and mutated
by the
power-hungry forces
evolved into
the new Babylon
the savior country
and the
conscious clans
have been
compromised
by
carnivorous racists
fervent fascists
and the most
parasitic pirates
of the highest
mortal order
the planet
now spins
in a reverse
Spiritual aether
the truth
is in here,
not
out there
as even the best of us
have been forced
down
further
than the underground
in the midst
of zombie sellouts
and darlings of desire,
we live a real
and surreal
earth’s final fire
time and income
are firmly controlled
and circumvented
by devious capitalists
as many struggle and starve
in silence, on waiting lists
holding on to illusions, deceptions
and ill fate
handed down
by the church and state
to understand
who gets locked-up,
you must first understand
who gets locked out
there are no
simple choices
for those not connected
to the moneyed forces
