pledge

“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

“f”act

it is fact that requires explanation.”

lost secrets of Archimedes recycled

“The term Greek philosophy, to begin with is a misnomer, for there is no such philosophy in existence. The Ancient Egyptians [Kemetians] had developed a very complex religious system, called the Mysteries, which was also the first system of salvation . . . After nearly five thousand years of prohibition against the Greeks, they were permitted to enter Egypt [Kemet] for the purpose of their education [in four year installments!]. First through the Persian invasion and secondly through the invasion of Alexander the Great. From the sixth centrury B.C. therefore to the death of Aristotle (322 B.C.) the Greeks made the best of their chance to learn all they could about Egyptian [Kemetik] culture . . .”
-Prof. George G.M. James (from his book “Stolen Legacy”)

“Humankind born around East Africa’s Great Lakes region, almost on the Equator, is necessarily pigmented and Black; the Gloger Law calls for warm-blooded animals to be pigmented in a hot and humid climate. All the other races derive from the Black race by a more or less direct filiation, and the other continents were populated from Africa at the Homo erectus and Homo sapiens stages, 150,000 years ago. The old theories that used to state that Blacks came from somewhere else are now invalid.”
-Cheikh Anta Diop (“Civilization or Barbarism: An Authentic Anthropology”)

“Freedom Illusion”
-Sly&Robbie Meet The Mad Professor! featuring Dean Fraser (Dub Instrumental)

@ the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore
did anyone even care
how offensive it was to many of us
to have Elizabeth Taylor’s image used to depict CleopatRa?

does anyone care?

black spaces
in white history
are always places
of much despair

will anyone in the west
ever make it clear
what was between
the (white)Archimedes/(black)Eratosthenes’ letters?

and why would the genius of Archimedes
be allowed heartless, mindless slaughter
by a mere Roman soldier?

his palimpsests were not his documents being recycled –
they were his truths being erased by religious/racist ill-will
true progress, respect, and education
does not lead to secrecy and desecration

myth, mysteries, and lies
always used to pull wool over our eyes

it is
our current fate
that we are truly being ruled
by a planet of apes

paradox paralysis

“Africa’s the richest place
But it has the poorest race
And to me it’s just a disgrace
Just a disgrace”
-Peter Tosh (Not Gonna Give It Up)

black people
are the busiest folks
divided and misguided
unschooled and ruled by false hopes

they would rather
fight and kill each other
than to unify and stand
against a common oppressor

nigger this
and nigga that
oblivious to the greatness
of being black

they need to stop
taking for granted
being the first
humans created

no matter,
i would rather be financially poor
than to live as a stereotype
or become a fascist whore

some are so sick as to seek wealth
saying what oppressors want to hear –
porch monkeys for paymasters
a disgrace to our children and our ancestors

no one should rise
upon the backs of others
and no tribe would be in existence
if not for the womb of Earth Mother

before you are dead
get the black out of the red

the constant to shun

“Oh, have you ever seen the devil
Were you never lost in the night?
Well, i hope you have a lighthouse
I hope you have a guiding light”
-Velvert Turner Group (Madonna Of the Seven Moons)

“Cadillacs, blue jeans, dixieland playing on the ferry
Cadillacs, blue jeans, drop a glass full of antique sherry”
-King Crimson (Great Deceiver)

the constancy of evil
is the constant to shun
oppression after oppression
revolution after revolution

no matter what you are given
no matter what is written
challenge any obligation
to deny a greater self or nation

or you will die
for nothing
you will live
to be forgotten

after parasitic, bigoted systems
run you down into crime
they will blame you for the destruction of rebellion
each and every time

selfish morons
never respecting
never protecting
ever rejecting

in getting no respect –
who wants to protect
those who neglect
and ever reject

sick heathens
will never change
the cosmos will swallow them
and their shallow/complex games

always at odds
with natural laws
manipulators of intelligence
and fatal flaws

the everyday gods
guard the flow of money and jobs
haves over have-nots
sinners and snotty-snobs

you can know evil
when it’s looking at you
no matter the history of the world
no matter what you have personally been through

know the document of your heart
know the treatise of your Soul and Spirit
until there is no need for compromise or a mortal guide
or a calling for war, mayhem, march, or protest

nothing comes
granted to none
for freedom
to be won
to be One
under any Sun
you must know the true
constant to shun
