Sojourner's Truth

They made Angela cry|

Placed Mumia behind bars|

Exiled Pete|

Huey die|

Murdered in cold blood|

Assata go underground and hide|

Kathleen seek foreign lands for the love of her man|

  1. The Black Panthers were an awesome revolutionary group. When I was in Elementary School, a teacher told me and the rest of the class that they were a really bad gang, LOL.

    I'm glad you have written a poem in memory of the persecution this group faced.

  2. That's what J. Edgar Hoover wanted people to think. They labeled them terrorist, when in fact he's one of the biggest terrorist to ever live!. This is why in don't watch the news. They seem to hate progress.

Excavating Thoughts

Excavating thoughts purge the deep swell in an abundant forest filled with catacombs| Think not of what to say| Rather| Think of formations and placement for your words| The expression expedite hidden phrases| A realm in multitude of scenic shades| Which fill stains and covers from edge to edge| Put in motion a rehearsed visual| Captured for later interpretation and judgement| A glory outdrew| A painting foreseen inside that thought| Once emerged from a projector working its way from picture to sound| From sound to dialects| From dialects to expression| From expression to memorized interpretations or unsightly inked writings| Exclusive to emotional reincarnations| Contemplation and relegation amount heavy loads| To collapse the foundation in which laid heavy groundwork| Obscure water waves regulate the sounds of prejudgments| Before seen in the obscurity of the themes| Awake from the thankfulness of your mind| And enter into the depths of the b...

Because i didn't want you all to be lost. My brain works in strange ways, and i get all these ideas that pop into my head all at ...

Where Will You Be?

You can and will take the the revolutionary out of the revolution| But the revolution will revolt against the illusion| Overtake the delusion| End the ill conclusion| And nullify destitution| Forsake those who enact the acts of the institution| But you can not and will not take the revolution from the heart of the evolution|
