Chance/Dance of Discourse

transdirectional / trance-directional

those who
have nothing to fear
use fear
as an excuse
to confuse
to oppress
and
to murder -
a perpetual concept
and ruling gimmick
of fascists

do not become blind
in your evolution
to transform
to an higher kind

the evil visited
upon this Earth
by you, through you
for you in your innocence
is due
for it is true
that none of us
are innocent

to execute many
for the prize of one head
is the law of barbarians –
the wisdom of the dead

the surviving bodies
will swell against these deeds
will tell the hideous stories
will claim eventual victories

the Earth was not made this way
and respects no mortal law
the Earth bows to no army
and is not scathed by any eagle’s claw

karmic forces
are metaphysical voices
offer infinite insight
into life-preserving choices

the evil visited upon this Earth
will return
a thousand fold
to those who participate
in the gifts evil beholds

and all the silver
and all the gold
will not save you,
as you have been told –
for it is not the darkness
that you fear,
it is your own conscience

My immortal pure idea
My sound idea
My virgin version”
- Sun Ra

i don’t get paid
to write every day
but i worship thinking and writing
because these are the freedoms
my ancestors have made

i am not a slave
i am not a slave

and i will ever be in the forefront of thought
i will ever scrutinize any thing that can be bought
in the trenches of freedom and liberty
on the frontlines of the evolutionary

writing in your face
writing in your face
from planet to planet
through all time and space

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 masse
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.”
