Rhythm O (Marina Abramovic)
Rhythm O was a 6 hour work of performance art by Serbian artist Marina Abramovic in Studio Morra, Naples in 1974. The work involved Abramovic standing still while the audience was invited to do whatever they wished, using one of 72 objects she had placed on a table. These items included a rose, feather, perfume, honey, bread, grapes, wine, scissors, a scalpel, nails, a metal bar, and a gun loaded with one bullet.
I was challenged to do a poem about Marina Abramovic. To honor this amazing woman I am going to perform her Rhythm O here on DPU. The rules of this post are listed below,...

Amphibians
What is fear?
It is a systematization.
It is a proverbial boot
Holding our heads
Under water.
Keeping us submerged
Until we drown
Or become Aquatic.
We need to become
A Nation of Amphibians.
An Army of Frogmen
Birthed
From a discontented ocean.
To find conjoined footing,
Between the land and the sea.
To become a rigid band
Of noble insurrection.
Where fear is only manifested
As segue to constitutionality.
It is a systematization.
It is a proverbial boot
Holding our heads
Under water.
Keeping us submerged
Until we drown
Or become Aquatic.
We need to become
A Nation of Amphibians.
An Army of Frogmen
Birthed
From a discontented ocean.
To find conjoined footing,
Between the land and the sea.
To become a rigid band
Of noble insurrection.
Where fear is only manifested
As segue to constitutionality.

Trial By Jury
Two skeletons dueling tatted across his back
One is pierced through the sternum
The epee is tainted with rage
The feud has truly begun
You beast of many eyes all on me
Do you dare pricketh and awaken me
To stand judgement with all swords drawn
For refusing a coming, we know has gone
I refuse to stand or take the knee
Swear your oath or cop a plea
Your minions are drooling, showing their glee
The trial will be a farce, I'm already guilty
Though a peasant, I demanded the treatment of royalty
Although...

Zoning
Living in war zones that we see as normalcy
Cause what's on repeat seems normal to see
Desensitizing many to the site of blood shed
Traumatic stressors that remain in one's head
End zones painted red like that of the Chiefs
Opposition in this games no where near brief
Only temporary relief is granted occasionally
As we're catching second winds for our reality
The calamity of humanity that we see on a daily
Got us praying for love like The Spinners gave Sadie
Hoping that our babies have brighter futures
Instead of...

Land of The Dying Dream
You speak like courage
But you act your cowardice
Tell me what's for our good
As we find ourselves enslaved
Tyranny gains its foothold on the terms of safety
Coerced to the trust of fradulence
Illegitimate authority
Our hearts are auctioned
Sold in bondage to the path of least resistance
When the fear of death meets the cost of freedom
Will we pay the dues of legacy
Or sell out the nation for the breath of our captivity
Mandates to comply
What conditions will we live in if we're too afraid to die?
Delaying...

To win or to live
To fight to win
To fight to live
The difference is vast
Do we fight to win a war
Or do we fight to live
With every battle
One must figure out what they’re fighting for
Fighting to win
The ambition that goes towards victory
You’re progressing rather than
Fighting to live
Fear keeps you alive
Never moving forward
Afraid of death
To fight to live
The difference is vast
Do we fight to win a war
Or do we fight to live
With every battle
One must figure out what they’re fighting for
Fighting to win
The ambition that goes towards victory
You’re progressing rather than
Fighting to live
Fear keeps you alive
Never moving forward
Afraid of death

Longing for a Leader
A visionary must exist
Of some nationality
Genius enough to steer
Convincing a majority
Surely amongst the multitude
On this earthly sphere
Someone will look to the moon
Or another inspiration
And fix what's happening here
I don't care about gender, or age
A kid can be a wonder
Anyone can be a seer
We won't discriminate will we
Just as long as they have a solution
We'll gather apart, and cheer
So don't be shy, don't be modest
Avoid the crosshairs and....
This isn't plausible I fear ...

Underprivileged children suffer hunger;
Trillions of dollars spent on weapons.

Burn On [Mom]
You had 30 years
To show me love
30 years to be
My mother
Congratulations
You’re the only one
Who got it slightly right
The only one who could
Soothe your baby’s plight
You pushed back against
Society’s status quo
Raised hell eventually
And it sure does show
My
Only
Wish
For
You
Now
Is to be the mighty woman
Only you and I know
To show me love
30 years to be
My mother
Congratulations
You’re the only one
Who got it slightly right
The only one who could
Soothe your baby’s plight
You pushed back against
Society’s status quo
Raised hell eventually
And it sure does show
My
Only
Wish
For

Too much hurt
Too much hurt: too many black people taking dives and bribery from white people just to keep modern-day slavery going. Too many people getting away with murder especially the police. Hiding behind their badge and the Department giving them awards for their wrongdoings. The city council and the board are only lining up their pockets just to spit in the people's faces who put them in just to make other cities better. They are selfish and they are playing right into the government hands. Nobody is fighting for the people, political parties lie just to shut the people up, so they can get their...
