Chance/Dance of Discourse

Sunspot Cycle #24

“Rush Limbaugh, whose tastes run to cherubim-daubed ceilings and rococo furniture, cuts loose with hysterical denunciations of Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke as a “slut” and a “prostitute” after she testified about contraception before a Pelosi-led informal hearing.”
-Alexander Cockburn (CounterPunch 3/3/2012)

“night descends
as the Sun’s light ends
and black
comes back
to blend again”
-The Last Poets (“Wake Up, Niggers”)

“Military spending Huge Profits &
Death …”
-Jayne Cortez & The Firespitters (“Women in [E] Motion”) cd

if the pretty people
with all of their
things
glittering
would sing,
we would have
more joy,
less suffering –
life would not be as mean
carrying
the daily, beastly stings

our higher learning centers, public schools
have become murderous shooting galleries
because education has been overtaken by rotten fools
who care not for addressing mental miseries

heartless, and artless
their institutions only serve Mammon and money
the youth no longer connect
to the real truth of wisdom, knowledge, and history

their world no longer respects
the warmth of our godly Sun
people act out their disconnect
through the worship of barbarism and the gun

they cannot revise the world book quick enough
to relate to the dirt of our sacred foundation
they have executed all of their relevant prophets
and in turn have become a sphere of shallow, hollow nations

sensationalists, and charlatans
have replaced all prophets with parasites of profits
the idiocracy implodes under the weight of illusions and skin
separated from common sense and worthy scientists

they have become the world they deserve
beholden to their hypocrites and cheating leadership
becoming the hell they have beheld, in dis-service and nerve
ignorant of the people’s greater visions and gifts

there is something drastically misunderstood
about Ra, and the cycles of the Sun –
how it demands to be capitalized, and at times feels bad and good
sentient, and in tune with each and every one

there is no greater physical Being
in our Solar System

no, the words are

“. My own mind is my own church.”
-Thomas Paine (Age Of Reason)

no, the words
are not spelled incorrectly –
they follow cultural-cross-patterns
live and directly

i follow no convention
i follow no institution
i scrutinize every constitution (the constant to shun)
i follow my formal and informal intuition

my written words
are my children
learning to stand on their own
ever vulnerable to contradiction and correction

never forgetting my roots
of a proud regional and expansive culture
the foundation language is how i was nurtured in truths
i will never forget the tongues of my ancestors

“No justice,

“I swam upon the devil’s lake
but never, never, never, never
I’ll never make the same mistake
No, never, never, never”
-Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens)

beginning with
this breath
i am transforming
into a total newness

beginning with
this breath
i am trance-forming
into a total newness

beginning with
this breath
i beg forgiveness
of my madness

beginning with
this breath
i beg for forgiveness
if i soiled your gladness

beginning with
this breath
i will embrace
a most heavenly Oneness

beginning with
this breath
i shall erase
all hurt and destructiveness

beginning with
this breath
i shall shift
into a true uprightness

beginning with
this breath
i will only offer blessings
and righteousness

beginning with
this breath
i shall gladly hold hands
with the light in death

beginning with
this breath
life is too short
to not achieve ultimate happiness

dough-nations (donations)

it is important to have neutral voices on this planet:
poets, writers, artists
who observe, provoke, evoke, and invoke images and messages
beyond the repetitious bullshit of the mundane –
expanding, extending, and challenging beliefs and lies
and the same old stories fed to us by rulers and followers
of oppressive regimes and systems used to profit from the illusions
of a few while feeding on the deaths, murders, misfortune, and victimization of the many.

this racist/fascist country has never changed, even with a darker hued president. there was a time when the wheels of justice could not move fast enough for the racist majority, and men, wombmen, and children were pulled from beds, shacks, farms, jail cells, or wherever they unfortunately stood to be tortured, lynched, and killed by the whims of these racists. study the history of lynching in this country, and it should sicken you with these facts, just as a postcard of the lynching of Laura Nelson and her son, Lawrence in 1911, from a bridge in Oklahoma exists as cold evidence.

now racists have different faces. a racist can now be of any color, as racism has become more esoteric and subtle as a perceived attitude toward anyone of a darker hue in any given situation at any give time, including stereotypical scenarios of language, clothing, or lifestyles. whites hate blacks. yellows hate blacks. reds hate blacks. and blacks hate blacks. so, obviously, black is the target. but all of this falls under the guise of a hypocritical quest for the solidarity of a higher humanity! the racist/fascist systems of this world will always be broken until they are no longer racist/fascist systems.

the killing of Trayvon Martin is the latest event in this country’s sad history. not only did his killer, George Zimmerman, protected by the skin color of the ruling majority, walk. but those in support of Zimmerman, without any compassion for the murdered victim, overlooked and under-heard hard evidence of absolute truths – the 9-1-1 calls, and the videoed recording of George Zimmerman being arrested immediately after the murder. George Zimmerman was allowed to carry a gun with a criminal record, and Trayvon Martin unarmed and murdered, was without a criminal record. racist/fascists engage in the reverse psychology of a collective exercise known as lying until the truth is blurred to the point of unbelievability! this exercise has been effective since President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. we are now on the other side of justice from the days of Laura and Lawrence Nelson. i am black and proud, and i can say i have been in the same situation as Trayvon – judged and stereotyped because of racist brainwashing and indoctrination – the targeted boogeyman of a society. i am tired of being targeted as a global boogeyman because of the ignorance of my albinitstic brothers and sisters. it makes me cringe when i hear someone say: “well he doesn’t look like a murderer; a serial killer; a robber, or a rapist.” tell me, what in the hell does a murderer, a serial killer, a robber, or a rapist truly look like? maybe anyone, huh? maybe any fucking body, huh? all you racist/fascists fuckers need to wash your minds clean and begin anew. all need to be proud of our godly hues, the beautiful colors we are given. be who you are, not at the expense of others being who they are. colorblindness is just another defect. embrace the spectrum of our humanity.

the Trayvon Martin killing is just the reappearance of the judgmental racist killers and lynchers from yesteryear. what better case for the double-standard of this empire, and how many Trayvon’s are out there who were not lucky enough to be brought into the public eye? i, like many other black people, have a first hand experience of being in the hands of incompetent police – but at the same time, i also have a few stories to share about when police have also proven to be good Samaritans, and true public servants. nothing is always as black and white as some people would like to make it seem.

anyway, this new post is under the title of “dough-nations (donations)” because i am a neutral voice through all of this madness. and i feel if you read my blog, this will speak for itself, in it’s own unique and far out way. i have tried my best to remain steadfast, under the radar, and uncaring of the opinions of oppressors, and it hasn’t been easy. ArtPolitik has been smacked, whacked, and hacked! but ArtPolitik has never cracked or slacked in its commitment, informal technique, and straight-up creative imagination in its use of the word. i have been holding up for six years without any commercial crap or hi-tech bells and whistles, but now i need a little bread to keep holding on! ArtPolitik is going through hard times just like everyone else. just like Richard Pryor said, “… they didn’t even have a year for it, just called it ‘hard times.’ It was dark ALL the time. I think the sun came out on Wednesday….”! so if anyone is interested in helping one neutral voice continue, i would like to ask for anything you can spare, and maybe i’ll see you on Wednesday, when the Sun comes out, and we can rub some sunshine on our faces, together, because a change is gonna come.

ArtPolitik is now accepting donations from any dough-nations! can use some bread, y’all!

karma kills killers

everyone hated
everything violated
-JahHannibal (Holes in the Holy)

for Trayvon Martin –
a victim of victims
though no fault of your own
you are fallen from an ancient symptom

if they murder
the best of us
what should they expect
from the rest of us

leaving behind
a paper trail of lies –
lying lips
and lying eyes

the smartest people in the room
are who murder us and rob us blind
there is no confidence in a racist/fascist country
as they are running the best con game you can find

never have they known national unity
all that they have practiced is pure hypocrisy
backstabbers and sellouts of economics and industry
two-faced examples who betray national friendships and loyalty

cowards given a license
to murder our children
from Emmett Till to Fred Hampton to now
where is your national wisdom?

let the world see these racists and fascists
for all of the injustices and prejudices they can own
as they laugh and pose at being pretty
covered by bloody bullets and chicken bones

the racist pigs and fascist dogs
will never learn
so you must begin the purge
you must begin the cleansing burn

stop marching
start torching

stop marching
start torching

stop marching
start torching

purge this
demon’s house

purge
this
demon’s
house
