the symptom is happiness
ritualistic ignorance
the family structure of apathy
the family structure of whiteness
that is the politics of slavery
the problem is that
it is barely possible to survive
for most who are satisfied with their lives
I know they are addicted
to the life style slavery makes possible
the whiteness that made slavery
the sugary crystals cotton indulging
inuendo ****
still even though many rotted into reincarnation
for those still claiming to be white
their scales have to be tipped
or they will never realize in time
that our fight is their fight
that we do not sleep at night
make the world just as hard to bare
not safe behind the glass shattered
razor sharp explosion in a living room
becomes the same dying rooms
of the procreation of free labor
and what is a union
whiteness would have never known
without the business of black revolution
the physical offensive of violence
that with lethal blows
says
your not better than me
you are all worse than blackness
worse than terrorists
worse than all the fears
that you needed to sustain your delusion
of being white
so you could watch on the outside
eat the sugar
wear the clothing
listen to the music
of a suffering superior human being
evolved past the decrepit imagination of the white American team
maybe if it became hard enough
you would have been with us
you wouldn’t have betrayed us
pretended to be hip
pretending to be sensitive
to the feelings of dying for being black
for being too compassionate
for being too forgiving
for being too intelligent
for working too hard
whiteness we will not go down with you
