"TO THE CULTIST" We were not there when night made you. We did not know when evil prepared you. Your black school masters pounded you to a pulp to subdue, subject your souls; locked your souls in deepest darkness. By your choosing were you chained, shackled like the ancient black eunuchs of the rain forests. In knowledge kingdom you chose the jungles. your choice whacked you in the face and you wailed for water, you got your masters' waste for water. They hooded you. They shamed you. They played with your frail, weak, limp penis. Thrown thundering kicks at your scrotal sack until you died to pain. Until you saw the worthless you; saw the "awesome powers" of your black bosses. Dehumanized! Only gullible you could not see brainwashing. We did not know when darkness mixed your blood with owl's and cat's before wicked and heinous spirits knot dry gin and cola knots and knot your souls to hell's bars. While one million demons of darkness chirped, while owls hovered hooting, and hounds of the night roared and crept your tails were being cut and cooked and sauced and souped in your blood. Did somebody wail carnibalism? Elites left off brains you wail; "strongman" "ruggedman" "bravery" in your frightened flight your sister's face was fried, your mama's hut was fried. Braveman, bravery defends families, real estates. We did not know when darkness equiped you. Now you point your nuzzle on our face, now you seek to cloak our sun with night and darn smart uniforms. And turn our offices into domains of the night. But you own the pun. Because light and night do not merge, only light lights the night gently, only light fiercely lights the day wholly. Like the lion brute roars and rules the jungle. Never celebrates tender cubs in towns or barren and broken it returns to the jungle. Even so you, fiercely hold our scrotal sack. Aids crooked, voracious statesmen sack our choices and the law flirts with you! We shall sieve you out forcefully. And filter you through a hundred mesh until you lie bare panting and gasping Like pisces free of dear Adams ale; jumping, hopping for dear life. Till you learn the light rules the day, The light rules the night and that justice never stays in the dark. we were not there when darkness formed you but we shall be there when the sun scourge the night out of you! 8/23/2011 |
