the Prophet Speaks
The Prophet Speaks
Save
the dolphins,
save
the trees,
save
me .
I’
m drowning in a sea of Negridtude,
smothered by niggardlynissism;
while the nation burns,
village by village,
clowns:
not worthy
to play
Nero,
buck dance
for sound bites,
...to what end...
insider deals
between house niggers,
that move
whose
agenda
where.
Is this
shit
reel to reel
bullshit,...everywhere?
I think
Bessie Smith
told
mo soul
than
Jessie Jackson
yeah
I ain't afraid to get messy,
some body
stand up with me.
Lets slang some truth,
uncover the root.
Elihu
is a silly self serving
fool.
Lionel
wasn't home when chocolate
city phoned.
Nobody stole the power
You niggers gave it away.
The naacp lives,
but we only got
panther memorabilia/
ghosts of warriors past,
how the hell did
that happen.
Niggers
fallin
for
urban lies
while a nation dies.
You make me sick,
you poverty pimps,
you hypocrites,
you fuckin cowards,
tools of pharaoh,
victims of in bred
hatred,
perpetrators
of systemic racsism,
bullshit artist,
jack leg preachers,
busters of the first order.
Send me a Malcolm,
send me a Nzinga,
a Lumumba.
Lord call down warriors,
free these
niggers from dey’
livin
tomb.
THE WORDSLANGER
...practicing no mo
fo real...spreading reason in a dead world.
here are shiny new coins
for the piper
the piper must be fed
more notes for the dirge.
on and on it does go
life rollin reel to reel.
no Memorex here.
better catch it.
can't get caught up
might miss it
it ambles at a fair pace.
better get in there
ain't no retakes.
hang in there
its your life
and its never quite
what you would make it
but you saying you anyway.
once i was in the army
marching to and fro,
trying to shape destiny
but it continued to go
the way it would.
so i took time out sat
on the sidelines
and the war raged on.
must pay the piper
for the piper would be
paid.
i could have should have
would have been a mage,
swift slight of hand,
on hand
at my demand,
maybe a devotee of ju
ju,
a student of khrisna,
a follower of the true
god,
had a third eye
i would have known
i knew. I am gifted.
road to travel on,
but took a wrong turn
or
the right turn at the
wrong time
or didn't take the time
to see the sand shift
on the beach
didn't find time to
attend bimbays
for new life grains
grown in grit to
grip the cosmos as
they grasp the notes
in the dirge
that does go on and on
moved as much by my tom
tom
as any other paint brush
in the song
I sing loudly again,
sometimes
off key but in all times
slammed by synchronicity
drawn by oneness and
knowing
drawn by the lite
blinded with vision
sic wit fire
living to find enough
justice
to love and live unafraid
in all dimensions at
the
same time
whole forever,
as the last coin falls
and the last note
signals the end of the
dirge
this time
again.

'THE WORDSLANGER'
The
wordslanger ...a poet evolved
Purveyor
of illumination, ...pure lite
…Somewhere deep inside me the seeds
of greatness lie.
Somebody water these mutha fuckas.
"wordslanger"
…She so trapped by
the dictates of survival
she never free to
stand on cliffs and shout the moons name
(yes, she knows the
moons name)
she never free to
run with wolves
and gather the rare
roots that grow in secret spaces
only wolves and sages
know.
(she could reshape
2 morrow with those roots)
no, she wasted on
misdirection,
spent like spare
change on misdirection
beyond busy
slapping Band-Aids
on cancer she can't cure.
she run over hill
and meadow
to stay in the same
place.
no time
to stride down the
Euphrates with exotic feathers in her hair
no time
to dance for the
elders for pieces of knowledge
so antiquated as
to be forgotten.
she daughter of forever
smoothed by
today.
Pen/Sword in hand
She battles dragons,
Bullies, bill collectors, the
system, the lack of a system,
Soul stealers, landlords, house
niggas, private demons, beauracrats,
demagogues,
Crapslingers shadows and ghost
Miseducaton, misderection &
the monster in the closet
Chauvinism, racism, & not
enoughism
In the course of a day
Ruling like Suleman
Absolute and solitary
Diva Queen
Of a thousand hands
Heart of Ghandi
Fierceness of Troussant
It's in the blood
Now and forever shall she reign.
Spurred on by the rattling
bones of warrior queens past
She shall not be moved
Sprit of Rosa Parks
She shall not be moved
Blood of Anne Nzinga
She shall not be moved
Hotentot Warrior Woman
She shall no be moved
Of whom shall she be afraid?
From her mouth
Truth flows like a river
There is life in the knowledge
Science in the truth
So like healing balm
Of whom shall she be afraid?
She will not be moved
She lite bringer
For those who would see
She truth singer
For those that would hear
Truth being sung
For those who can hear
She shall not be moved.

"I don't need my freedom,

I can't live on tomorrow bread..."
--Langston Hughes
How can
ignorance be bliss?
This the
climate that loaded slaves on ships
While
country men slept in ignorant bliss
Hitler
order up the baking of thousands
Of Jews
in Auschwitz
Ignorance
killed Medgar Martin and Malcolm
And 4
little girls in a church in Alabama
Ignorance
gave Redmen blankets full of small pox and measles
Ignorance
interred Americans on American soil
Because
their last names were Japanese
Ignorance
makes you believe
theres'
nerve gas in the baby food jars in Iraq
Did you
know Bush gave Norega
Guns for
coke?
Or like
Oliver were you ignorant of that fact
Ignorance
has a face
Make sure
its not yours
It has
an address
Is it
living in your house?
My enemies
children
Don't
have to be my children's enemies
But it
would be ignorant not to recognize
The serpent
at your feet
Crush
ignorance as you would darkness
Bring
light
To shine
in the crevices of convoluted minds
Chant
down lies and idiot song
Give direction
to the lost
Chant
down lies and idiot song
Say truth
Chant
down lies and idiot song
Lift em
up
Chant
down lies and idiot song
Spit lite
into the darkness
Chant
down lies and idiot song.
The Moral
"Ignorance ain’t rite so it must be wrong, chant down lies
and
idiot
song"
