get your body parts off of our necks
do u think al sharpton knew the etiology of
take your knee off our necks in his eulogy
for george floyd? i hope so because propaganda
even that of the politburo needs context
ms. sarah grimké was a white quaker from a family
of slave owners an abolitionist + mother of american
suffrage ruth bader ginsberg is a white jew who sits
on the u.s. supreme court
ruth popularized sarah’s phrase when she fought tooth+nail
for abortion rights + equal pay for women and did u know
that before the indo-european hordes descended with their
male sky gods god was a woman?
+ the rounder the hips of ancient women the greater their
fecundity the absurdity of my not knowing this until 36
speaks for itself context context context blasphemy
in my ghetto
for it has been in the name of our abrahamic religions that millions
have died at the hands of despots kings priests +madmen this is
not to say that matriarchies were peaceable oxymoron is context too
humans are animals food chain bottomfeeders power might hate
rape+pillage burn the village enslave the people replay the tape
so is the thin veneer of civilization crumbling? is the human conscience
a social construct or innate?
if the former now what? as family religion +community are replaced
by technology instagram anomie my own brand of anti-hate is more
generic because hate comes in every shape it is the nature of our beast
my child clients raped beaten burned +murdered from age 18 mths
maybe we should all take a knee in the coming days as we do battle
with corona + human hate the vaccine for which has been in progress
for 200,000 yrs
