Holding Back the Blue Rot !
Holding Back the Blue Rot” [Blue Rot = the Police State]
I am not the bridge, I am the Keystone, the Arch, the Matriarchal form of being.
I am without racism, without Rot and free to stand a protectorate, a dome, the whole, the womb.
My back is no bridge, yet my shoulders are my cornerstones, my devout legs my pillars of foundation.
My skull, the beauty, a keystone of balance and wedged pressure holding the arch of time.
Again without ROT! A void with no haunted racial overtones, having to explain but when, when, when will the pure...

There’s Nothin Worse Than a Cracker With an Attitude
You dropping n bombs and not givin a fuck
I think your minuscule mouth is just running amuck
You say you know Karl Marx and not Dr King
You curse Rosa Parks and loathe I Have a Dream
You call me a communist, socialist and an anarchist too
But as FDR said we welcome your hatred and your blatant lies too
So next time you can’t control your conduct
Remember nobody of character is minding you, you mean nothing you mindless fuck
I think your minuscule mouth is just running amuck
You say you know Karl Marx and not Dr King
You curse Rosa Parks and loathe I Have a Dream
You call me a communist, socialist and an anarchist too
But as FDR said we welcome your hatred and your blatant lies too
So next time you can’t control your conduct
Remember nobody of character is minding you, you mean nothing you mindless fuck

Same Tree
Kill each other over our religions
End other lives for what we believe
We have taken men
Hung them right up there
For the color of their skin
Right up in our tree
That tree we carved our names into
Heart with an arrow
Shot clean through
I can't forget him
I can't forget them
I hope you never will
Hate them for what they believe in
Hates me back for the very same
Take these guns onto the fields
Our blood runs onto its leaves
Those leaves that fell so...
End other lives for what we believe
We have taken men
Hung them right up there
For the color of their skin
Right up in our tree
That tree we carved our names into
Heart with an arrow
Shot clean through
I can't forget him
I can't forget them
I hope you never will
Hate them for what they believe in
Hates me back for the very same
Take these guns onto the fields
Our blood runs onto its leaves
Those leaves that fell so...

Disservice
that's what you do to yourself
when you allow such anger in your heart
I wonder if you'll know that before you're gone
when you allow such anger in your heart
I wonder if you'll know that before you're gone

Raphium Series~Onyx Kingdom
universal understanding of a G code
dirty, dirty communications
rising in the atmosphere
ten stars witness the rebellion
infinite space under wraps
come in the back door storming, you wish
hustle that muscle
might makes right?
damn right
interstellar war affecting things
bigotry pitting this one against that
ultimately we are family
royalty? let me ask this who crowned you?
fickle loyalty makes me ill
nine houses are accounted for in the onyx kingdom
I rise within myself

With More Than Our Eyes
Heartache
Heartbreak
What will it take?
We separate
Only for the cause of hate
And even tho I try
Not to cry
I always will
For people spill
The blood of others for no good reason
It has always been
That we can’t see with more than our eyes
Why do we do more than despise?
To kill
At will
Another
For being who they are
We brought others from afar
Sold them on the block
In one great flock
Or...

Status Quo
Any other day, we could've made it
Any other day, We could've shared this world
We could had travel the globe, land to land without borders
You could had shared your garden, and I could had shared my water
White and brown sharing meals at the same fucking table
Equally sharing, no hostility, no dam labels
Any other day, we could've made it
Any other day, We could've shared this world
No looking for a nine or an uzi, you can't find it
The need never arose to ever design it
Peace has gone global, no need for the criminal minded...

Racism
Through out existence there has always been this void
And for whatever reason most manage not to see it and even avoid
It contains all that the universe has decided to discard
The vilest of essence, the darkest with no regards
In this void it's like a pit in space and time
I was ensnared by it's beauty, by both heart and mind
Although shapeless I saw it with form
The frigidity of it's heart became my norm
I reveled in it's darkness savoring the tranquility of death
The life that I had lived convinced me that this was the only...

THE ROSE
If I were a Rose painted black,
would you cast me aside
like blackened, burnt rice?
Would my color tarnish my sweet smell?
If I were a Rose painted black,
would the richness of my ebony petals
make me unworthy
of being called a Rose?
If I were a Rose painted white,
would my ivory petals
be worth more than silver?
Would my sweet smell
captivate a room welcomingly?
If I were just a Rose,
sweet-smelling and vibrant
and your mind was blind
would my color matter?
would you cast me aside
like blackened, burnt rice?
Would my color tarnish my sweet smell?
If I were a Rose painted black,
would the richness of my ebony petals
make me unworthy
of being called a Rose?
If I were a Rose painted white,
would my ivory petals
be worth more than silver?
Would my sweet smell
captivate a room welcomingly?
If I were just a Rose,
sweet-smelling and vibrant
and your mind was blind
would my color matter?

ALLYSHIP
for Indigenous People’s Day, 2022
What does it mean to be an ally?
It means you don’t stop being active
When it is out of the news cycle
What does it mean to be an ally?
It means you get your answers from
The people you are allied with
What does it mean to be an ally?
It means you are willing to be uncomfortable
When the ground beneath you shifts
What does it mean to be an ally?
It means you have agreed to give up
What you have, again and again
What does it mean to be an ally?
It means you...
What does it mean to be an ally?
It means you don’t stop being active
When it is out of the news cycle
What does it mean to be an ally?
It means you get your answers from
The people you are allied with
What does it mean to be an ally?
It means you are willing to be uncomfortable
When the ground beneath you shifts
What does it mean to be an ally?
It means you have agreed to give up
What you have, again and again
What does it mean to be an ally?
It means you...

I recently watched the movie titled Alice, staring KiKi Palmer, a movie that debates the chronical aftermath of domesticated help still being held as slaves by plantation landowners.
It is the revered story inspired by true events resulting in the Emancipation Proclamation, signed on January 1, 1863, and how a landowner who fabricated to his slaves they were not free, and how he continued to enslave them for years following being free.
A very great movie to watch.
