the politics of she
requires that I
look within me
& spark
a dialogue
for CHANGE
all of history
she taints
so that
we don't really see
our mirror image
reflects
in each other...




we are taught
to hate
& be indifferent
to the plight
of by
and for the people
because
it ain't
in my backyard...

we are witness
to her events
via elements
of nature
truths revealed
in armored tanks
& gunz drawn
in the name of humanity
are we so easily deceived?

it makes
me question all
authorities
& powers that be
all forms of
oppressive
Sovereignty...

I never new
she was such
a radical thinker
Mother earth
that she would
strike with a force
& bring death
to the people...

they say
God is mysterious
and I know
this to be true
when spirits
reveal themselves
via the YouTube
past & present...

we can
see the connections
but we
are still livin wrong!

if we know
these things
to be
self evident
then
why do we turn a blind eye?
have we not seen enough of our mothers cry?
wept blood tears
for fallen
sons & daughters...

I DON'T
WANT TO BE
ANOTHER MARTYR
FOR MY ANCESTORS!...
or the hand
that striked the blow
but I do
want to get down
to the politics
of Mother earth
for all of
history's eye
be her witness
to the truth
so live up
wit livity
& SPEAK!
for
silence = death
