9/11 day
Peace to you on 9/11
I mean what you say to each other,
Is it a holiday?
A national day of mourning
Of reflection.
I don't mean to be a smart ass or cruel.
But my anger on this day is real
I feel for the sacrificial lambs that died in the slaughter on 9/11
To those who died unjustly.
I mean the Muslims.
The sand niggers
Why can’t they just be thankful that they were saved from themselves?
And their heathen religion
And through the use of high tech bombs
And low tech bullshit
They are slowly being brought closer to the Christian God
They slowly are being brought
Not so quietly into the fold.
This country has been honing its skills on
Vietnamese,
Japanese
Mexicans
Jews
Colored folks
And
Abortion doctors for years.
Why cant those Muslims
Those Goat eaters.
Just be silent
Like Native Americans on the reservations
Or African slaves on the passage over here.
Jews on the way to internment camps.
Why do they have to bitch so loudly and blow up so much stuff?
Can’t we all just get along?
Don't they know we know what's best for them?
I was reading an article in the times yesterday.
Dealing with world wide perceptions of America.
And how the face
The voice of America has become the silly man we call our president.
And how ineffectual of a leader a spokesman he really is.
We all know it already
What is keeping us all so quiet?
But what does he care
Americans believe in him and if they don't fuck me....
"One well known mainstream Indonesian Muslim leader, Din Syamsuddin, an
American-educated vice president of an Islamic organization that claims
30 million members, calls the United States the "king of the terrorists"
And refers to President Bush as a "drunken horse."
The Drunken horse.
That will be the subject of my next work after the pumpkin pieces.
I mean I remember that after 9/11 many a privileged folk said that the
Attack was the great equalizer
It made us all, the same.
Spread the pain around regardless of color and such..........
No that's kind of like the lie that police departments tell.
Every cop knows that you don't get rid of crime you just displace it.
Pain spread around is not spread around equally
Their is no equality in this country.
This new pain just piles on top of the old pain.
I mean now when go to New York, I am haunted by the memories of 9/11
When I get off the train the cops still follow me home,
9/11 just sits some where new the top of the rest of the pain and
Bullshit and daily indignities.
Where was I
Do I sound bitter I am not?
Just an old Negro and old Negroes males become the most bigoted men on
The planet as Chris rock says.
Something about holding it all in I think
Where was I?
No it didn't
Even it out
It channels the pain, directed it them stole its energy, promised
Enlightenment
And or political activism
The pain got used
It put the last nail in the coffin of political correctness biased
Towards liberal ideals.
Made many a activist into a screaming ineffectual new age retired hippy
Burnout
Turned the Democratic Party into a party of whiners and deal makers and
Cowards
And formed a new version of political correctness
Right winged angels
Leaning strongly toward a harmed
Wrongfully injured America.
How what the hey
What did we do?
Which way do we go George
It fired up the Troll
Who sits in front of the red button?
That activates the not so long idled engine of imperialism
Colonialism
And that old favorite
Manifest destiny.
I first heard that word in sixth grade
After Mrs. Flannery told the class that freed slaves spent the rest of
The 1800's stealing chickens
I was once told that birth marks are a sign of injury in your past lives.
I have a birth mark that covers allot of my left shoulder.
I used to dream that I got it after being shot stealing chickens.
Anyway
Maybe that's why that word retains so much power with me
And is so insulting and dangerous.
Anyway
You goat eaters are in for it now
Yes it evened some of the pain out
Sort of
For a while.
But America has a habit of returning always to what it does best.
I mean the jails are still filling up with young black and brown males.
Its just being done a little more quietly and with out as much protest.
Bombs are still falling
Little kids are still dying.
Soldiers and they family are living in a hell beyond redemption.
Sent there by a bunch of men who couldn't survive a bitch slap to the face?
It’s just being done more quietly.
On both sides
We just are going
Quietly into the night.
I mean don't get me wrong
It was a horrible horrible day for America for the world.
I have to keep saying that
It’s a mantra
A protection spell
A salt circle
Its church mother speaking in tongues
Calling in God for protection
And understanding
Where was I?
And while many of us will spend the day remembering what happened
And how it changed our little portion of the world.
And it did in ways I couldn't even have imagined.
It’s interesting how much things change and still stay the same.
Last night I sang where have all the flowers gone
And it still makes sense to me
New shit slowly becomes
The same old shit
Different day
Different century
What ever
The real evil ones will use this as a weapon.
They will use it like a mother using guilt and reminders of past bad
Behavior.
Bush already is using it to push through some more human right violations
................through his retarded home land security ruse.
That organizations biggest function is to inspire fear
To deflect criticism and to perpetrate more bullshit....lies and quick fixes
And explorer patches
That the public can hold onto.
Safer skies,
Yea right.
My son who works at the airport goes into laughing fits when de
Describes airport security
But we want to believe
We need to believe
It’s all a big flesh colored bandage on coal black skin
For those of us still wiping the tears from our eyes.
The biggest danger that we face with George bush.
Is that I have seen something new in his eyes.
It is probably not only freaking me out,
But freaking out the real evil white men who are running the country.
I mean in the beginning he walked around as if in a dream. Asking how
Did I get here?
What am I going to do?
And the demons.
Rumsfield, Cheney,
Whispered all the answers in his ear that were needed.
But now I see something new in his eyes.
A power
Christian zeal
True believer shit
Salem witch hunt shit
Small pox on the blanket shit
Syphilis trials
Joe McCarthy shit
J Edgar Hoover
Spiteful queen shit
Yep
He believes
The rest of them don't take that Christian shit seriously
But he believes
And he is seeing through the haze of his alcoholic inspired tunnel vision.
I know been there seen it did it
Powerful
God has whispers many a thing to me while coming off of a binge
But I am only a mayor not a president.
Bush
Like jet lid
He Believes
That he
Is the one.
Believes his own press.
I mean Americas behind him, he can do no wrong.
So what he is doing must be just and true.
And that is very very dangerous.
The real power
The real evil ones haven't had this much fun in planning world
Domination in the history of this nation.
They are rubbing their hands together.
Stacking coins to put over the eyes of the dead
And into the pockets of their so called Christian god.
Big business
And thanking them
For deliverance........
Dueling banjo's are playing
I can almost see Burt Reynolds riding the rapids of colonialism
And the rest of the world squealing like Ned Betty’s
Rape inspired
Pig impression.
Yep
Anyway,
Ill cut on Cnn
Watch the ending processions of tears
And I too will sing America
I wish I could just have the discipline of reflection.
To just put things in box and deal with one section at a time.
I wish I could believe he press
Ignorance is bliss
Love the fat one
