ruling factions
seek to control
classification
society loses its connection
with the truth of creativity
and Creation
time becomes a leash
people become shifts
and synthesized subjects
of a syndicated schedule
i am penalized
for lateness
i am pushed
kicked
and forced into a mold
that does not match my form
i am then called
“irresponsible”
for the insensitivity
of a non-feeling bureaucracy
who practice planet-murder
dictating a harmony
contrary to Nature
those who attach themselves
to the greater amount of material
are more susceptible
to greater sicknesses
whosoever inherits the thirst
for consumption and annihilation
inherits the strain
of the empire disease

“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.”

“Get ready for the new age
get ready for the new rage
get ready for America’s new day
get ready and get out of the way”
(The New Adventure)
-Jerry Harrison
from the lp “The Red and the Black”
navigating
Nature and reason
is the greatest challenge
to the human
and to any
higher mind
-the cosmic design-
the studying
of behavior systems
the quest
through wisdom
listen to the silence,
it is telling you
how the emptiness
should be heard -
how the void
wants
to be felt and seen -
this is the
other side
of a
timedream
unwritten censor-laws
and censored wars
at home and abroad
welcome the new fascists
and self-appointed gods
i write poetry
my characters
are not make-believe
my characters
are the real monsters
whom i live with every day
who force me
into their morbid, sick reality
this is a Hit-World
of killers
and the governments of this world
only train people
to become better killers -
a Hurt-World
where socialists for peace
and freedom
are shunned
and racists who worship the sword
and the gun
are welcomed -
do you know
what is to come?
do you know
what is to come?
over and ovah
the praxis, the pain
all solvents and solutions
transform us into the same
in God’s name
in Jesus’ blood stains
x-energy conversion
claim your sacred space
build your force-field
reclaim your freedom to feel
reclaim your mind
you are your first-hand link
to the Supreme and Divine
purify your self-grace
own your higher place
discover
your portal to the infinite
empower, enforce
your liberty, your choice
no mediators, no preachers
no parasites, no meat-marketeers
submit
to your own meditations
submit your organic mass
to the One Creation
pray, cry
to the One Earth
to the One Sky
purify
your place to live
your place to die
purify
pray, cry
do not allow
wickedness to enter
travel through the infinite Cosmos
as One Spiritual Center
format your Laser-Soul
from your Earth-Body
become Mothership/Fathership
nurture your absolute truth solidly
from the myriad realities
become
Soul-Being
Light-Being
Sol-Being
Love
your endless Black Space
Love
your eternal Black face
all of us
were born of Blackness
let not mortal misery and jealousy
misguide or confuse thee
revere the miraculous wonder
in the sacred blessing of color
consciousness
is spectrum/crystal
ever question
the superficial spectacle
bury the exploiter
step over the fallen angel
who has brandished evil
free the prism
destroy the prison
become Music -
medium of all elements
eternal chord
Ra-cord
connecting Suns
connecting Sols
connecting Souls
sound out
your place of dreams
your point of departure
you are
you, Ra

New social movements have emerged in Bolivia over the “price of fire” — access to basic elements of survival like water, gas, land, coca, employment, and other resources. Though these movements helped pave the way to the presidency for indigenous coca-grower Evo Morales in 2005, they have made it clear that their fight for self-determination doesn’t end at the ballot box. From the first moments of Spanish colonization to today’s headlines, *The Price of Fire* offers a gripping account of clashes in Bolivia between corporate and people’s power, contextualizing them regionally, culturally, and historically.
Join us @ Red Emmas for a discussion with author Benjamin Dangl on his new book The Price of Fire, due out from AK Press this month. More info…
