BLACK MAN (A POEM)

Someone said

Black man does not

Describe us

That we are brown

That black means

Without color

But I wonder,

We are without

So much now

We have no brotherhood

Because of no homo

No love from our children

Because we are not there

No respect from our women

Because of disappointments

I think that black man

Describes us exactly

U. S. CITIZENS CHOOSE TYRANNY

The citizens of the United States choose tyranny every single day. They choose one of the worse kinds of fascist structures, the plantation. One reason the plantation is so bad is because it can lumber along for centuries before those who suffer from it realize they are even on a plantation. It could continue for centuries more before slaves rise up against it. The plantation is a system where a small number of rulers almost completely control everyone’s life. The people on the bottom of the plantation structure suffer horribly, but not consistently. The slave settles into a sense of comfort because the attacks on them are not on going. The master will even show genuine kindness from time to time in order to confuse the slave. Current masters are called the 1%. U. S. citizens live where the ruling 1% tells them to live. They also eat what the 1% tells them to eat and wear what the 1% tells them to wear. As a matter of fact U. S. citizens give themselves over to the 1% mind, body and soul. This is why we eat food that has been tampered with and breathe air that poisons us. You can march and rally all you want, but as long as you leave the heavy lifting of the functioning of your community to the 1%, you will always be a slave.
