petrified ignorance
Ignorance means cowardly
not ignoring something you know
that is why ignorance is the best seller
petrified ignorance is not evolution

cozy little pox blanket
language is directed
at the brutal heartless racist
whiteness
do not care about measly sidelines of whiteness
not concerned about the stagnant
fabricated branches of whiteness
innocent by standers guilty be association
that some are so scared to call what it is
genocidal dissociation
the many angles of oppression
institutional impunity required for imperialism
violent art is directed at the very center of whiteness
its beginning
those that had those first genocidal conversations
agreements and funding
and ferocious toward the apathy
that wraps it so tight and cozy
whiteness
reclaim your ethnicities
and denounce whiteness

first and last mistake
drunken white attempt
to redesign freedom
better than nature
in this attempt
trying to resolidify
the constitution of freedom
causes nature to break down
this very imperfect attempt
at reorganization
nature
immediately
impeccably
breaks the process down
of course evolution
includes freedom
that allows with it
the possibility to
make it seem like something else
the chance to become aliens
to your own nature
your own space
your own earth
and the people that have supported
existence until now
now is gone
do not procreate
with any other conception
or terrible designs of freedom
stop procreating dangerous aliens
for more
dangerous attempts
suicidal
reorganizing
organic matters

The gang of whiteness needs to be disbanded legally
Whiteness should be illegal

Vagina Dialogue
I used to look at people that shake
I would tell myself I will never be like that
I didn’t know the trauma in store for me
at that time I thought I was more powerful
than trauma
I thought the police were genuinely going to protect my innocence
I did not know that they were watching
waiting for vulnerability
I thought I could be like my best friend
whose was white and his uncle was a police officer
I thought I had privilege too
well that was violently untrue
language is too violent
language needs to become vulnerable again
then we can listen
communicate gently
in order to understand race politics
one must be a domestic violence specialist

blood drips pretty from these wrists
as handcuffs cut through
I am safe from the abuse

when freedom looks like ****** handcuffs
they didn’t use the second tool
that stops them from squeezing tighter
and tighter
with steel like unforgivable
cold and ******
and the fullness of the moon
glows through its nearest clouds
red and full of overshadowed doom
like a solar powered night lite
fathomless thought
pervades understanding
dragged two hundred feet
by the chain’s disparity
in-between each handcuff
while stomping on my head and chest
I never used to shake like this

takes liberty
at first liberty
was ability and will
to leave the ethnicity English
oppression thereof
then liberty
became the constant justification
to **** women and children
for their land and ***
liberty became the realization
the natives they had killed
were the only ones who knew
how to cultivate the land
for food
so the settlers of whiteness
then took liberty
to dig up and eat the old native bodies
to eat them
the liberty to decay faster
then it became the desperation
to keep slaves
even though
the beginning of whiteness
its presidents
knew that blackness was more human
than themselves
took the liberty to keep humans enslaved
even though the rest of the world outlawed it
the liberty to keep slavery
as the domestication of whiteness
slavery built whiteness
liberty reinforcing
**** to breed
liberty became the uniform punishment
for free slaves
liberty to follow successful black men
making new laws to re-enslave blackness
stalkers of whiteness
like J Edgar Hoover
******* in parked vehicles
liberty of white authority
to fog up parked car windows
desperate to see black men in white women
liberty became micegeny laws
liberty was once longed for
by enslaved humans
then it was surpassed
by the order of slave women
“stop letting white men and women **** us!”
liberty faded in the quiet of freedom
humanity has a secret constitution
liberty will never understand
as a foundation of civil war
to justify the dissociative disorder of whiteness
and the trauma it causes

deep
The damage is deep from racism
How much depth can I show you?
Education needs to be like a nuclear bomb
set to detonate out of spite without telling anyone
Then telling everyone
you still really love them
while kissing their forehead and clammy cheeks
Whiteness disassociates from science
“We all come from Africa.” Science says to it
“Also you have been having *** and procreating with Africans forever.” Science adds with a stern clear and colorless face
And then Science says, “Im going to stop helping you travel to space. If you don’t listen to me…
You have one week.”

Forgetting you are indigenous is the first mental illness
The process of removing indigenous from oneself is the worst gateway drug
Worse than the liquor needed to obliterate minds into colonialism
Worse than distorting evolution with violence and corruption
worse than enforcing the corruption of whiteness

the issues have been pressing

patiently
threatening
to declare
martial vengeance
dissociate in vein
teach children
to leave the other behind
in vein
do not dare
to tell them the truth
that vengeance cannot
be left behind
it catches those
that were unaware
first
uncertainty
the loudness of fear
overwhelming clarity
of existence
the situation
is none other
than our experience
dissociation of whiteness
stop sleeping
drunk dreams
while killing darker skinned children
and mothers
in the name of peace
inaugurating terrorism
fanning flames of vengeance
hand me down
genocidal family structure
weapons of whiteness
the capitalist mediator
spewing apathy
and bleeding complacence
into post apocalypse

Mirrors of Narcissism
The mirrors of substance are not the reflection.
What you see is not what the mirror is made out of.
You are not the reflection either.
The infinitely thin layer that reflects the light creating the image is a shell. What is encased in the shell is the substance that makes up the mirror.
It is internal because it is beyond the reflection.
The reflection is also the perceived absence of the object

the strain is hard to to believe
never mind that it is me
I think Im being pulled apart
I thought my heart was my home
but really it is all alone

born into a custody battle
over who being human belongs to
I own blackness by birth
but they still think whiteness
has created its meaning
the worth
of origins
reclaiming ownership

antidote for caucasian
whiteness is an intellectual
psychological virus
that justifies slavery with every breath stolen
and words within it
ethnicity the antidote
when police say caucasian
it is a lie that white people
came from the Caucasus Mountains
scared into associating with whiteness
rather than genealogy coming from Africa
country built by Africans
music that is love
culture and society we love
is inherently blackness
so if black people
enslaved white people
for 250 years
then let them be ex-slaves
in the name of liberty
under a hand written
signed constitution
to stilll labor
for the excitement of killing
impunity
****** superiority
lives of infinite compromise
less than possible to survive
constantly *****
and killed for being white
legally
by black and white women in uniforms
with badges
insurance
familes
anger and impunity
******* in their minds
chains and slave ships
designed for their efficient torture
then racism would matter to them
and they would help us
but then we wouldn't need help
they would

Theology is dedicated atheism
Because in a multicultural world or event
existentialism is organic
to leave the focus of monotheism
atheism intervenes to allow polytheism
disloyal indulgence
and also
It is doubt that drives us to research and study
to remember experience on purpose
we do not always exist
all gods are so important
that if you just got one
you are terribly flawed
unevolved and tricked
if you had to pray to white jesus
to breathe the same air as being human
required atheism and then
the desperate search for the source of doubt
there is no need for doubt
we do know safely and casually
and there are so many gods
and who are we to create them and not know them all?

for the night
The government just called me
Actually the government told the police to call me
to be more specific
we all know how when referring to authorities
it is extremely important to be clear
detailed
and concise
because of how extremely uneducated they are
and also insecure
but anyways
as polite as the officer be
asked me,
encouraged me,
I guess threatened me,
If I really think it through
Officer says,
“Sir…Mr. Gregory.”
“Yes.” I say
“We…well the government of the United States of the America. Is willing to…wants to give you a certain amount of funding. Well, money. To stop being anti-racist.”
“Oh really?” I say
“Umm…yes. You see. We. Meaning the associates of the government…”
“The associates of white supremacy.”
I interjected
“Right. Yes. Well you know that. Well thats exactly it Mr. Gregory. We have been doing just fine without other people or too many of them know that. We the government and its associates…”
“Whiteness is a mental illness” I interrupted again.
“Yes. Yes. Okay. So yeah. We are offering you…roughly…25000 a month. To only do things…well…not anti-racist. Its part of the affirmative action project.”
I signed it right then and there
