America has become just another "B" movie, where people live in fantasy lands, where all you have to do is disconnect from reality,
and just feel good,
through positive thinking, where you don't need to read
to understand life and living,
where you just need nice pictures and imagery,
your life
doesn't need an
"understanding"
to gather a greater clarity.
Now all the people need is the fake warmth of American exceptional feel good.
For
persons never have achieved much of anything and thus they want you
to
believe
that they are exceptional people,
because of the loquaciousness of their
empty altruism.
Where accommodating selective amnesia is not selling out,
but getting in your deeper spiritual self.
For it's the most important thing that can change the world
and your conditions, by deeply meditating
in the deepness of your navel
and achieving as some would argue "wisdom"
Where life has become an old useless amusement park,
where only words have any importance
as we smile
at the old and peeling paint
as we celebrate the colors
and pretend that they are very
bright
and
inspiring
As a people without power,
we are encouraged against interracial sex
because we were forced here not to work
and make profits for white colonial capitalist,
but to give sex.
Thus we fall in love with a Black Concubine of Corporates Capital, thus
we
inspire
our children by them.
So they say.....
thus that they only understand our relation to history,
we have become the prudent adolescents, never to grow up.
Where people understand kingdoms a thousand years ago,
in reality before Black-was-Black,
and we don't know or understand yesterday,
where history is the celebration of non-existent memories
and not the harsh practice of history for real power.
Life has become a
colorful tea party of an African revolution
of the mind, and not much else.....
But, never the "state."
Where, time is spent hours with old woman with terrible false teeth
who smoke cheap cigarettes trying to convince them that they are
African queens
in another life, and pretend that we are educating
them about this
"life."
For it cannot be accepted that they just don't care, for they celebrated the
pragmatism of a slave as they pass out tracts like dogmatic Christian Nigerians,
whose pacifist moral grounding let them celebrate the brutal Black men in uniform,
in Buffalo soldier platoons.
Whose art and culture has declined to a point where they can
only produce
"Soap-operas" over-done and over-acted
in Black face.
Where we all become so proud of Black men elected to office, who just carry out
The role of a corporate harlot, for white people of money,
i.e., the children of former
slaves masters;
"But he be articulate...."
Where, Ebonee queens in colorful headdresses can only give you a Multi-level
marketing scam to upward mobility. To be Cliff and Mutha Fukin Clair Hunstable in
dashiki's with eight middle class kids.
Where they explain away the reality,
we all just need to be positive
and
accommodating,
because we are polished and articulate, thus an African King of yesteryear.
Thus, our crowd has only become culturally conscious entertainers,
hoping to sell the CD.
For the thing that we have come to achieve is our spiritual love
of the depth of our navel,
and we repeat the wisdom as if it's real, for the powers only give one
ticket to a "B" movie.
History is on our side, but not time.
