Chance/Dance of Discourse

full-battery

“John Coltrane was a freedom fighter
Liberator of the spirit from the shackles of form . . .”
-Kamau Daaood (“Liberator of the Spirit” from the cd Leimert Park)

All is Coltrane.
The tyrants will topple.
Coltrane will remain.

“everywhere drums
peninsula of my berserkness drum
axle of my hydraulic cough drum
diatonic drums
crazybone of my hyenaic laughter drum
thrill of a triad of electrode drums
everywhere drums”
-Jayne Cortez & The Firespitters (Drums Everywhere Drums)

“This flower holds the key to me
Its secrets guarded jealously”

on a makeshift stage
where drums sit gleaming.”

the
me-thought
the
method
floating
body
is all in
rhythm-voice
the in-between
entity
of identity

a language
very real
communication
made through flesh
and earth-material
medium thru emptiness –
earth-feel
sound-void field
vibration eternalness

the rhythmik
intensity
converts levitation
into livity
the bodily cyclotron
in full activity
expresses
the surrounding reality
immediately
the Ark
charged
and ready

beat
or bust

genocide generator

“It looms before us
everyday
genocide does
grotesque & gory
while
some of us refuse to look / refuse to see . . . ”
-George Edward Tait (At War)

“Aristocrats on a mountain climb
Making money, losing time
Communism is just a word
But if the government turn over
It’ll be the only word that’s heard”
-Prince (America)

“As a society, it is time for Americans to stop condoning all this violence, particularly against children.”
-Dave Lindorff (“Killing Kids American-Style” from CounterPunch January 05, 2012)

“The lies you have found, you have woven together.
The rope you have crafted, you will find around your neck”
Simin Behbahani (“Stop Throwing My Country To The Wind”)

down in the bottom
where the stars converge
bone-bass chills emerge
with the lowest of words

beat so raw
make ya shake yo head
hair-trigger niggaz red to draw
make sho yo black ass dead

too many
monsters and demons
occupying this space
of wombmen, men, and children

the time has come
to end the cycles of babylon kingdoms
selling their Souls
captured by ringtones

marching clocks
of flesh and steam
sliced and diced
thrown into the machine

no matter where you go
the same language is heard –
bullets, bombs, barbarism, and bloodshed
understood much quicker than any word

it’s no longer enough
just to be happy to work
you may lose your home and forever roam
the master class determines your worth

let them lead us
where they lead us
to feed us and bleed us
until nothing is left

-John Cage ["John Cage (ex)plain(ed)," book by
Richard Kostelanetz]

“Ashes”

in the
dirtiest of times,
how can one
remain clean? –

only those
who commit
to flow opposite
of the filthy stream

is where i guide my hands
and clear my mind
allowing my Soul and Spirit to ever expand
never imprisoned by time

censors/hip?

“To hold a pen is to be at war.”
-Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire

as a conscious adult
i am respectful and unafraid
of using any word that comes out
of this mouth that the Creator has made

i would rather hear
a hustler of culture
than to adhere to a capitalist con-artist
or a parasitic venture vulture

i honor healings –
i never honor killings
i believe in ethnic transcending –
never do i speak of “ethnic cleansing”

fuck the evil terminology
of those who try to shame pride in mature humanity

metaphysical formulas

“Each age, it is found, must write its own books; or rather, each generation for the next succeeding. The books of an older period will not fit this.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson (August 31, 1837)

systematic exploiter-destroyer
of communities
calculating exterminator
of families
horrific manipulator
bastardizing humanity
-JahHannibal (“slavery”)

“Aun Au Khu Mes Tahamu
Khemu, Mesu Ntrrr Mut Tef
Mmtu, Apuat Khu Apuat,
Smet Apu Mtu Ntrr Anuk Kherrr.”
-Metu Neter

when there are no
solutions for ills
of the physical
and mental
you must seek resolve
through the Spiritual –

metaphysical
formulas
to be found amidst
the madness, sadness, and horrors
requires vision and enlightenment
discovered in the fearlessness
opening mysterious and unknown doors
ascending foolishness

i follow what is unknown
to normal reason
out of my mind, borderline
between transcendence and treason

mysteries undefined
are a refuge for Spirits
who seek the immortal Soul
and do not prioritize the flesh

the evil you do
will revisit you
the planet, spherical
the circular, beyond circle –

the norm, never truly normal
physical, metaphysical
linear, non-linear, spiral
the real and unreal of the infinite spatial –
the Oneness of the eternal
dual principle

the good you do
will revisit you
here, there
from any Doorway to Nowhere

“We the brightest light, born
from the deepest black,
children of the Divine Mother
Father, true right and exact,
opening the Way shining ones,
open the Way,
listen to these Divine words
I say.”
-Metu Neter
