"I am not concerned that even some of my own people are afraid of the views I have. Some of my people do not realize that you cannot use the oppressor`s tools to build a house of freedom."
- A-L I'm officially on MiGente hiatus. You can view my stuff at rebelspeakloud.blogspot.com or www.myspace.com/originjay "It`s time... to stop playing the separating game of geography of where the slave ship put us down. We must concentrate on where the slave ship picked us up." - John Henrik Clarke: Historian For every poem, or anything else I write, there is always a story behind it. This poem, "I Am Africa," comes from the different experiences and conversations I have had with people. Now, a lot of times when a person like myself is very self-affirming, as far as culturally and consciously, there is a tendency to romanticize the African continent. I would hope that this poem does not do that, but does justice to our cultural roots. I Am Africa (I Am The Motherland)   Herman Goering was one of Adolf Hitler`s top SS men. What he says is very relevant to the recent actions and utterances of a certain American president. "Of course the people don`t want war. But after all, it`s the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it`s always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it`s a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." -- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials Words of Wisdom Killing us one by one In one way or another America will find a way to eliminate the problem One by one The problem is the troubles in the black youth of the ghettos And one by one we are being wiped off the face of this earth At an extremly alarming rate And even more alarming is the fact that we are not fighting back Brothers, sistas, ni**as When I say ni**as it is not the ni**a we are grown to fear It is not the ni**a we say as if it has no meaning But to me It means Never Ignorant Getting Goals Acomplishes, ni**a ni**as what are we going to do Walk blind into a line or fight Fight and die if we must like ni**as This is for the ma*ses the lower cla*ses The ones you left out, jobs were givin`, better livin` But we were kept out Made to feel inferior, but we`re the superior Break the chains in out brains that made us fear yah Pledge a legiance to a flag that neglects us Honour a man that who refuses to respect us Emmancipation, proclamation, Please! ni**a just said that to save the nation These are lies that we all accepted Say no to drugs but the governments` keep it Running through our community, killing the unity The war on drugs is a war on you and me And yet they say this is the Home of The Free But if you ask me its all about hyprocracy The constitution, Yo, it don`t apply to me Lady Liberty still the bi**h lied to me Steady strong nobody`s gonna like what I pumpin` But its wrong to keeping someone from learning something So get up, its time to start nation building I`m fed up, we gotta start teaching childern That they can be all that they wanna to be There`s much more to life than just poverty This is defaintly ahhh words of wisdom AMERIKA, AMERIKA, AMERIKKKA I charge you with the crime of rape, murder, and a*sault For suppressing and punishing my people I charge you with robery for robbing me of my history I charge you with false imprisonment for keeping me Trapped in the projects And the jury finds you guilty on all accounts And you are to serve the consequences of your evil schemes Prosecutor do you have any more evidience Words of Wisdom They shine upon the strength of an nation Conquer the enemy on with education Protect thy self, reach with what you wanna do Know thy self, teach what we been through On with the knowledge of the place, then No one will ever oppress this race again No Malcolm X in my history text Why is that? Cause he tried to educate and liberate all blacks Why is Martin Luther King in my book each week? He told blacks, if they get smacked, turn the other cheek I don`t get it, so many questions went through my mind I get sweated, They act as if asking questions is a crime But forget it, one day I`m gonna prove them wrong Now every brother had to smother on the welfare line The american dream, though it seems it attainable They`re pulling your sleave, don`t believe Cause it will strangle yah Pulling the life of your brain, I can`t explain Beg as you can obtain from which you came Swear that your mother is living in equality Forgeting your brother that`s living her apology Thought they had us beat when they took our kids But the battle ain`t over till the black man sings Words of Wisdom But the battle ain`t over till the black man sings Words of Wisdom NIGHTMARE thats what I am America`s nightmare I am what you made me The hate and evil that you gave me I shine of a reminder of what you have done to my people for Four hundred plus years You should be scared You should be running You should be trying to silence me ha ha But you can not escape fate Well it is my turn to come Just as you rose you shall fall By my hands Amerika, You reap what you sow 2pacalypse America`s Nightmare Ice Cube and Da Lench Mob America`s Nightmare Above the Law America`s Nightmare Paris America`s Nightmare Public Enemy America`s Nightmare Krs-One America`s Nightmare Mutulu Shakur America`s Nightmare Geronimo Pratt America`s Nightmare A*sata Shakur America`s Nightmare --Tupac Shakur  Assata Shakur And another one...

Said it`s the history of Inequity... When it all... All falls down... Telling you all... It all falls down Children... Eat your bread Little children... Eat your bread Cuz it all... All falls down... Telling you all... It all falls down [First and only verse] Yo! Ya`ll can`t handle the truth in a courtroom of lies Perjures the jurors Witness despised Crooked lawyers False Indictments publicized Its entertainment...the arraignments The subpoenas High profile gladiators in bloodthirsty arenas Enter the Dragon Black-robe crooked-balance Souls bought and sold and paroled for thirty talents Court reporter catch the surface on the paper File it in the system not acknowledged by the Maker Swearing by the bible blatantly blasphemous Publicly perpetrating that "In God We Trust" Cross-examined by a master manipulator The faster intimidator Receiving the judge`s favor Deceiving sabers doing injury to they neighbors For status, gratis, apparatus and legal waivers See the bailiff Representing security Holding the word of God soliciting perjury The prosecution Political prostitution The more money you pay.. the further away solution Legal actors Babylon`s benefactors Masquerading as the agency for the clients Hypocritical giants Morally non-compliant Orally armed to do bodily harm Polluted, recruited and suited judicial charm And the defense isn`t making any sense Faking the confidence of escaping the consequence That a defendant is depending on the system Totally void of judgment purposely made to twist em` Emotional victim blackmailed by the henchmen Framed by intentions Inventions whereby they lynch men Enter the false witness slandering the accused Planting the seed openly showing he`s being used To discredit, edit, headed for the alleged Smearing the individual fearing the unsuspected Expert witness (the paid authority) Made a priority to deceive the majority Of disinterested peers Dodging duty for years Hating the process waiting to be returning to their careers Do we expect the system made for the elect To possibly judge correct? Properly serve and protect? Materially corrupt Spiritually amuck Oblivious to the cause Prosperously bankrupt Blind leading the blind Guilty never defined Filthy as swine A generation purin it`s own mind Legal extortion Blown out of proportion In vein deceit The truth is obsolete Only two positions: Victimizer or Victim Both end up in destruction trusting this crooked system Mafia with diplomas keeping us in a coma trying to own a piece of the "American Corona" The Revolving Door Insanity every floor Skyscraping, paper chasing What are we working for? Empty traditions Reaching social positions Teaching ambition to support the family superstition? When the Son of Podition is Commander in Chief The standard is Thief Brethren can we candidly speak? Woe to the men Trusted in the chariots dem` Leaning on horses They run their intellectual sources Counterfeit wisdom creating the illusion of freedom Confusion consumes them Every word they speak it turns them out really white Internally they absent of light trapped in the night and bonded to the Cain of the night Under the curse Evil men waxing more worse Faxing the first Angelic being cast to the earth It`s time for rebirth Burnin up the branch and the root The empty pursuits of every tree bearing the wrong fruit Turning me ill Let him who stole, no longer steal Oh it`s real Surrender for Jehovah is real How long will you sleep Troubled by the thoughts that YOU keep The idols YOU heap Causing the destruction you reap Judgment has come Find it and return to the One Abandon the flesh Self-interest: Broadway to death Pride and the Greed Hide and subdividing the seed The knowledge of Good and Evil is what caused us to lie Caused us to die Let your emotions be crucified Renounce all your thoughts Repent and let your mind be re-taught You`ll find what you sought...was based on the deception you bought A perception of naught Where the majority remains caught Loving a lie Not realizing in Adam, all die Loving a lie Not realizing in Adam, all die Loving a lie Not realizing in Adam, all die Loving a lie Not realizing in Adam, all die [Chorus Outro] It`s the mystery of Inequity Say it`s the history of Inequity Say it`s the misery of Inequity When it all... All falls down I`m telling you all...

Love Rain - Jill Scott Love rain down on me On me down on me Met him on a Thursday / Sunny afternoon, cumulus clouds, 84 degrees He was brown, deep / Said he wanted to talk about my mission / Listen to my past lives (word?) / Took me on long walks to places where butterflies rest ez Talked about Moses and Mumia, reparations, blue colors, memories of shell top Adidas / He was fresh like summer peaches / Sweet on my mind like block parties and penny candy / Us was nice and warm / No jacket no umbrella just warm / At night we would watch the stars and he would physically give me each and every one / I felt like cayenne peppa / Red hot spicy / I felt Dizzy and Sonya, heaven and Miles between my thighs / Better than love We made delicious / He me had Had me he / He had me tongue tied I could hear his rhythm in my thoughts I was his "sharp, his horn section, his boom and his bip" / And he was my love / Love rain down on me On me down on me The rain was fallin` and and slowly and sweetly and stinging my eyes and I could not see that he became my voodoo priest / And I was his faithful concubine / Wide open wide loose like bowels after collard greens / The mistake was made / Love slipped from my lips, dripped down my chin and landed in his lap and us became new / Now me non clairvoyant and in love Made the coochie ez and the obvious invisible / The rain was fallin and I could not see the season changing and the vibe slipping off its axis / Our beautiful melody became wildly staccato / The /Rain / Was / Fall in` / And I / Could / Not / See / That / I / Was / To / Be / Plowed / And / Sewn / And / Fer ti lized / And / Left / To / Drown / in his sunny afternoon, cumulus clouds, 84 degree melody Love rain down on me On me down on me Wide open wide loose the mistake was made love slipped from my lips and dripped down my chin and landed in his lap and us became new me non clairvoyant and in love made me the fool / You were never true / If you didn`t want me aw you should have letme know / All you did was make a mockery of somethin` so incredible beautiful / I honestly did love you so Love rain down on me On me down on me ...The enemies of our people are strong They have the bombers They have machinegun fire Their striking power is awesome Why should I hide that from you? They have greater and more efficient Weapons of propaganda. The radio, newspapers, schools, Their universities where they give Our children An education to enfeeble minds, Make them slaves, apes , parrots Shadows of the men and women they could have been. But they are also weak, Very weak, the famed giant on mosquito legs Our love of freedom is our bullet Our successes are our newspaper But Stronger than any machinegun fire Stronger than the Lincoln and Harvard bombers Mightier than their best general Is our unity and discipline in struggle With unity, discipline Along correct lines People`s line With unity and discipline In our total commitment to The liberation of us who swat and labour We can move mountains We can yet cut off the giant`s legs and mammoth head Truth is our atomic bomb But Discipline is our hydrogen bomb. - Micere Githae Mugo and Ngugi Wa Thiong, "The Trial of Dedan Kimathi"  Afro-Latino doesn`t usually do shout-outs, but if A-L had to give a shout out, I have to give a big-big-big-up to: sparklin. sis, you make me feel good about droppin the knowledge.
