while the soup/cream court
snorts
reports
and resorts
to the same
predictable game
-JahHannibal (“Saint Mumia”)
“Justice Thomas sat stone silent, reflecting his aloofness—not for him the trenches of debate and discourse.”
-Elaine Cassel (“Profiling the Supremes” from CounterPunch April 12, 2012)
Thurgood Marshall
is spinning
in
his grave –
can you
imagine
the darkest justice
with nothing
to say?
with
so much
to lose –
so much
to save –
a crucial voice
lost
day to day
slaves
are spinning
in
their graves
dirt
thrown
all over
the earth
tortured voices
longing for
a time
to speak
we see
this
expectation –
his position
chosen
by demons
of calculation
and
oppression
paid
in full
with
pieces
of silver
from decisions
of
historic
precision

“They are like nothing,
like the gravel under your shoes.”
-Nabila
don’t
come here …
first
let us learn
to clean
our
own streets
find
our own
dead and/or missing
bodies
cleanse
our own country
of murderers
war-makers
racists
fascists
self-hating heathens
thugs
muthafuckers
pickpockets
and parasites
don’t
come here …
first
let us learn
to look ourselves
into
our own eyes
of eulogies
and lies
learn
to love
ourSelves
ourSpirits
ourSouls
decipher
our own
games of thrones
in this land
of the fee,
nothing
is free
don’t come here …
unless
you are willing
to die
for nothing
live
for nothing
willing to
redefine
nothingness
and niggardness
and ruthlessness
and anything
with a sales pitch
as something
you would wish
to pledge
allegiance
to

“niggers are scared of revolution
but niggers shouldn’t be scared of revolution
because revolution is nothing but change
and all niggers do is change …”
-The Last Poets (“Niggers Are Scared of Revolution”)
“Descending Scale”
-Peter Green (instrumental from “The End of the Game”)
if you can never escape
from that which you own,
then own
what you have earned
and turn
it into
profit
among the first priestly kingdoms –
Queens and Kings of the Nile
crushed and slaughtered
by the Queens and Kings of denial
you have survived being considered
the lowest human thing
but still you manage
to have a higher voice that sings
