Chance/Dance of Discourse

bond

love,
no matter
how strong,
is never
the same
after a broken bond

RATLINE

the nazi
the ustashe
and the stasi
are all parts
of a global cia

loyal
to no one
except a western,
racist
capitalist union

why does this government
attempt to fatten Russia
and starve Cuba?

this government of the
USA (United Socialists of Apartheid)
does not promote the memory
of Joseph Beuys
or Petra Kelly,
who were advocates
of a true democracy

this government
does not promote honesty,
because righteousness, truth, and peace
are obstacles to making money
and expanding subtle systems of slavery

not enough has been said
about Mickey Leland
or Ron Brown
or which planes stay up
or which planes go down

or why we
do not protect citizens
such as Rachel Corrie
or Lori Berenson

amerrykkka has buried its common sense
with Thomas Paine
amerrykkka has buried it conscience
with Malcolm X and Martin Luther King
amerrykkka has buried its imagination
with John Lennon and Rod Serling

welcome to a new land
of the advanced, transplanted,
mindsucking heathen

but over righteousness
this demon shall never win

no matter how many planets
they manage to infect

DEBT (atavistic memory)

this government
owes me the history
in revealing the slaveowners
of my family

if we are to evolve
and grow honestly, and truthfully
we must cease the oppression of humanity
financially and economically
totally

the Ancestors will never rest
our minds will never be at peace
oppression must cease, cease, cease
and until this becomes so
all ghosts
will never be able to ascend/transcend
or find Heaven
to heal and reconnect their Souls
and again become whole

it is in my atavistic memory
to fight for the freedom of my ancestry
FREE HUE-manitY
FREE HUE-manitY
FREE HUE-manitY
FREE HUE-manitY

FREE HUE-manitY
FREE HUE-manitY
FREE HUE-manitY
FREE HUE . . . we

Babylon Fix

Lift thouselves up, oh, ye
I-dren, and be not consumed
by the fabrications of the wicked,
nor be ye fooled
by the false gods
of reality
- JahHannibal

they beat you down
when they think you are poor
until you cannot
give any more

they stand on your hands
hollow out your core
steal into your Spirit
pimp your body as a whore

their gods ascribe your labor
their demons amass your dollars
your Soul becomes shipwrecked
lies beached on an empty shore

follow what men believe
and your sky will become lonely
the Earth, angry,
cries and bleeds
from scars and wounds received
through perpetual war
serving the reality
of a master-slave mentality
diminishes flesh
undermines stability
corrupts reason
poisons the perception of security
converts all joy
into curses and commodities
the starless and bible black
collapses the festering sore
karma redeems the crucified
reveals the greater wisdom of funk lore

the container is contained
within an infinite enclosure
which has no beginning nor end
the cell within the cell within
cannot comprehend
the divine, omni-magnificent warden

who hears the voices from the void –
songs of the angelic choir?
who ever chooses uprightness over downpressedness,
attending the work of the universal chore?

Pyschotic Republic

On 19 January 2007, R.A.M. (Radical Artist Movement) along with Legion Lost participated in a benefit performance @ 2640 for Red Emmas in honor of Dr. King. This is one of the pieces I performed. Additional videos here.

Historical amnesia always favors oppressors
Ignorance is most powerful
when wearing the uniform
of intelligent organization
The truth of self-realization
is Spiritual Balance
for eternal generations
No brute can tear into you
And no tyranny can bury you
The discipline of the doer
is the knowledge of work
and the art of exertion and order
Slavery is blasphemy
to the human condition
And is the construct of evildoers
and the bullies of industry -
Earth desecrated by vampire empires

People are given no time
to know themselves,
regurgitating indoctrination -
clones of the perfected circuitry
and vulnerable prey to the horrific structures
and constrictions of the ever transient Mob Kingdoms
who magically mask their muck and slime
behind
mounds of manufactured illusions of cleanliness

Only your heart and your art
can offer true liberation and freedom
It is time for fire-music
It is time for the language of rebellion
and creative revolution
to lift the righteous forces
from the spell of the diabolical ruling classes

Refusing to mirror the madness of your rulers
is to first appear to be outside of your sanity
But this is the first real spiritual appeal
to the Creator’s gateway, establishing
a true, divine solidarity -
at one with your Soul’s ascendency, infinitely
in sanity

What may be good for barbarians
is not good for me
What may be good for Christ-killers
is not good for me,
therefore
i separate myself from the sickness of the planet
i separate myself from the sickness in the community
i separate myself from the sickness of many ideologies
i separate myself from the sickness of the nation-state
i separate myself from the sickness of production, wear,
rust, and distrust
i separate myself
i separate myself
i separate myself
i separate myself
from the Psychotic Republic
