American Democracy
Democracy is a myth put in place to distract you from the reality that we live in a plutocracy disguised by a representative republic.

I am America [05.22.09]
Torture me with your weapons
Drop bombs on my people
Raid my country with your armies
Hold me captive in your prisons…
Try me in your courts
Leave me no rights
Convict me by your peers
Kill me in your chambers…
Let me rot on your streets
Give me no food nor shelter
Walk pass me on the roads
Bury me in a pine box…
I am war Iraq.
I am the death penalty Troy Davis.

The hand moves rhythmically
Oh, how time fades yet the hands still remember me
Once they trod lightly across my delicate figure
Those fingers tickled my sides
Those hands rubbed me down, gently and sweet
Now, they lay me down on blank canvas, gently and sweet
The hands move free as the mind wanders on
Then, the...

Until the Beat is Gone
What would happen to us if this thing stopped beating,
like the tappered animal skin drums
that black hands use to abuse
to make agonizing rhythm,
that cried beautiful tunes?
I think I would feel it if this thing stopped beating,
like that little thump from a fetus floating aimlessly
causing soft tugs on the cord sporadically
inside an awaiting mother’s womb.
They say I should...
