Ebola
Ebola, coming from the Continent of our roots The WHO is exhausted by your contagion Nurses are leaving their posts, doctors are dying What can contain exponential growth? Not the money and debts of this bankrupt America We print more money and expect The world to stay the same, but it won’t Not after you Ebola, a profit mechanism Vaccines, for each strain and mutation? Ebola, your incubation period is too long Your death-conformity is too high How can you possibly be natural? Man-made, racially biased, targeting The weak, the poor, the masses Ebola, a colonial rampage in your DNA I call your bluff, genocide, Genocide! Obama doesn’t mind Ebola, flights stay open New epicenters for outbreaks arrive The pundits say it’s already too late Fluids or air-droplets, both, who is to say? The CDC seems strangely apathetic The UN is oddly apologetic Ebola, are you ready to decimate The white man, as you have the black?

Ebola, Puppet of Propaganda
I was is in second grade when Emily told me "if you where born a few years back you'd be a slave" As if I hadn't looked in the mirror latley. Oh how it felt to be the only brown girl in a white school Minority Misinterpretation. A maybe Is what I was An outcast 4th grade I visit my father and his family My grandmother and aunt whisper,"Gringa" laugh laugh "Sangrona" laugh laugh My mother hispanic and my father Mexican 6th grade My best friend is disgusted because I define as Mexican yet can't seem to speak perfect Spanish 9th grade I learned that bi racially I am a mut, As if I don't have enough labels already I must prove to my friends I am white, yet hispanic to my family My second aunts snicker at my broken Spanish No need to gain their validity They can't believe my mother raised me away from their culture Despair fills their eyes as labels blur mine Must I prove myself every time? What if I'm not either or? Nor a mix Nor white Nor hispanic Nor mexican Nor latina Nor bi racial Nor sangrona I don't seek your validation but your understanding I'm not a unique exhibit Only a 16 year old girl dealing with teenage drama and high school studies A dreamer at heart An artist who loves to show it I have a name I'm more than my skin color Or that of my mother's & father's. If I'm ever asked to prove myself I will answer with only "I am already proven

Proven
There’s a lot to be said for this place. A near-perfect pitch for diversity, Diversity: a neurolinguistic term; A quaint way to say: miscegenation. No, just kidding; I meant the melting *** A fine blend of Anglo, Hispanic & Indian blood— That’s Pueblo & Plains Indian blood-- Not that **** masala, chapati & dal Indian blood. My apologies to "Who's the White Guy?" Bobby Jindal. New Mexico: “The Land of Enchantment.” Where 310 sunny days per annum, Are like money in the bank, earning Double-plus compound interest for those Suffering with seasonal affective disorders. A land of sunshine without the orange juice, But substitute chili, red or green? An equitable offset to be sure. 310 days of sunshine: Even the white people are brown here. Which does a lot for my self-esteem. Back east—New York, Chicago & Philadelphia e.g.— People that look like me, i.e., People with dark brown hair, eyes and skin, Get stopped/ass-cheek spread/& frisked, routinely. Stop & Frisk: NYPD’s spectator sport for decades. Stop & Frisk: Mayor Bloomberg-defended Crime-stopping Godsend, Getting guns off the streets. Getting homicides down. Everything’s cool until some slick race baiter, Starts yelling: RACIAL PROFILING. Forget for a moment that people that look like me, People like me with dark hair, eyes & skin, Commit 78% of the crime in most cities. “It’s not racially driven profiling,” Said Newark’s police director recently Referring to stops carried out by his officers. “IT’S CRIME-DRIVEN PROFILING!” But, again, political-correctness trumps common sense: August 2013: Judge Rules NYPD Stop-and-Frisk Unconstitutional. Well I’ll be a monkey’s *** ****** I moved to New Mexico to blend in. My complexion a shoe-in for The Witness Protection Program or Any other public or private, Domestic or international rendition site. But I digress. New Mexico: no passport necessary, Babaloo! New Mexico: be you white or black, Hispanic or Indian, Or even Roswell extraterrestrial, The cops here will beat the **** out of you. Or shoot you dead, Kemosabe.

Contentment is the greatest evil in the human grab bag of emotions. It’s born out of the head of ignorance, it resides in the heart of the blind. It manifests its evil doctrine of passiveness throughout the body, until fully enslaved by inaction. It turns agents into sun tanners, activists into office workers, outlaws into accountants. It puts preservatives into culture, it laminates laws, it places crowns on faceless leaders. It slaps a smile across the ***** the beaten, the neglected, the racially profiled. It mutes news casts, veils the homeless man that lives behind office buildings, glorifies the paycheck. It makes the walls of homes seem bullet, terror, bomb, corruption, and death proof. It allows sleep at night, it kills the monsters under the bed and the ghosts in the closet. It causes hundreds of thousands of suffering people to simply, disappear. It insures, “birds like to be caged,” and “pain is just part of the human condition.” It whispers these misconceptions like a priest insuring his congregation of the power of Jesus. Contentment, you see, corrupts the very concept of progress. Progress is deemed by the million-pieces-of-paper-owners to be founded in terms of economy. Progress is deemed by the people-who-stop-us-from-returning-to-state-of-nature to be founded in terms of control. Progress has forgotten it’s maker, just as dying old men forget that they were once bounced on a loving knee. Contentment leaks from the Western world and infects all those around it. When you are no longer content you will begin to see the holes in the patchwork of life, and wonder how it was you hadn’t seen them before. When you are no longer content, you will at last demand change.

(For context, I went to...) British Kindergarten in England, French Elementary in Switzerland, International MS in England, French HS, then Int'l HS in Korea, (And then completed...) Undergraduate studies in NJ, USA, 9-month gap year in Hong Kong, Graduate studies in QC, Canada. ------------------------------------------------------------ I have shattered my identity. Frequently. Involuntarily. I have undergone assimilation. Socially. Psychologically. I have encountered discrimination. Directly. Racially. I have endured isolation. Grievingly. Impotently. I have ill-wished on others. Subconsciously. Unintentionally. HOWEVER – I have learned to be human. Individually. Collectively. I have discovered empathy. Emotionally. Compassionately. I have gained knowledge. Culturally. Geographically. I have acquired expertise. Intellectually. Linguistically. I have become a citizen. Locally. Globally. Perhaps we who are born and meant to move, Are intended to, and exist to locomote forever, Walking lands, sailing oceans, mastering the world.

The Pains And Gains Of A "Fifth" Culture Kid
If you want to make a profit (and the morality is grey) Dehumanize the victim and you'll be well on your way. In a country that's divided, and declining by the hour. Your sins will be forgiven by the Autocrats in power. As, once upon a time, in our then divided land Slavery was acceptable because a black was not a man. Then black people were possessions and very few were free. They knew the lash, they knew the rod, They knew not dignity. Now fetuses are parasites- not considered human beings Abortion is big business the cash cow of their dreams Fifty million have been murdered with no end on the horizon. ****** it appears, is acceptable as long as it's not you dying.) Someday you'll be old and gray- and have an awful cough Please don't be surprised or shocked if they opt to write you off. The weak and the disabled, those feeble minded or not spry can blame our liberality when it comes their turn to die. Eighty years its been since Adolf ****** rose to power Little children sang his praises too- and darkness had it's hour. Note:Nazi eugenics were **** Germany's racially based social policies that placed the improvement of the Aryan race through eugenics at the center of Nazis ideology. Those humans were targeted who were identified as "life unworthy of life" (German: Lebensunwertes Leben), including but not limited to the criminal, degenerate, dissident, feeble-minded, homosexual, idle, insane, and the weak, for elimination from the chain of heredity. More than 400,000 people were sterilized against their will, while 70,000 were killed under Action T4, a "euthanasia" program.[1][2] (They will call it choice until the choice is there's alone) Funny but many will call me a reactionary racist for my position against abortion but there have been millions of black Americans aborted, just as planned parenthood's founder intended.I would not make all abortions illegal as I believe that I shouldn't legislate morality. I think they should be rare, legal and safe.

Oh, you seed of mankind. You who reside in the same Coloured white ***** You carry the sex-determining chromosome. Before union with female egg, human colour was same. After fertilization, emerged different coloured humans. Oh melanin, you who determine our skin colour. You went as far as differentiating our hair colour. What have you done? Are you to blame for racial discrimination? Maybe blame theory of evolution. Oh no I blame you mankind. God gave men brains of a kind. The kind, that knows wrong from right. In the image of God, mankind was created. Colour was not restricted. I urge mankind across all racial groups. A plead to all *** groups. There’s more to what you see in the mirror. It was microscopically a seed within white ***** We might differ racially, men and women. We came from same coloured seed.

Disturbing Fleshy Text
Astonishingly! This poetry analogy is partially of a prodigy poet! It is of his endearment and endeavorment in our great Government that desecrated, medicated, sedated and segregated him. Doped! Desperately copping and hoping he made it! To add, no dad! An artistically rad-lad through the bad, the glad, the sad and mad. This destiny of a poet is also of apologies, felonies, formalities, legalities and theories. Furthermore it’s of mournful and scornful-laughter! Capture and rapture, dreamingly and seemingly, chapter after chapter... Pondering and wondering is there a happily ever after? This destiny of a poet is heavenly,  randomly and religiously, tellingly of lots of many thoughts! Some adventuresome, awesome, burdensome, fearsome and gruesome! Some loathsome, lonesome and wholesome! Some of dreams, schemes and many themes! Some deemed and seemed differently, discriminately, indecently or racially true, from some views. Some askew and blue! Some of clues, of Jews, of taboo, tattoos and voodoo! This destiny of a poet; stunningly who could’ve and would’ve thought once, twice or thrice of this price? Of the cheers and peers, the jeers, the leers, the tears and weary years... Therefore I say, some artist’s clever art may create, dictate, relate and translate similar-thriller craftsmanship with negative, positive or relative penmanship. However, typically some probably will publicly criticize as a travesty. Some will harmonize, some will publicize or socialize, some will disrespect as imperfect, some will neglect, some will respect as perfect! Hark! I remark; brethren, children and women keep and upkeep that creative spark! For in the dark or as you embark. Literally, morality and reality is in my poetry and story. Expect excellent, brilliant, decadent, resilient talent and testaments! Basically on final note! I positively devote, quote and wrote these eccentrically optimistic, rhetoric and theoretic poetically lyrical rhyming notes. Finally and bluntly, do not negatively amend, bend, pretend or transcend this end. Amen...

Sitting in the gutter Cause its the only place to see What guts are Wondering does anybody Fight for anything Anymore? Cause I don't see it I see people walking past Opportunity Walking away from things With ease Cold feet Treading cautiously Feeding doubts fire Going about Life so passively But Hold up let's join a cause! Direct our anger Politically, racially, at poverty and inequality Donate some money Rant constantly about Overturning regimes Then retreat back to apathy Woe is me! Bleeding hearts in their masses Floating past me In the gutter Cause its the only place to see what guts are... And hearts Cause no one has heart anymore Where is the love? Where is the passion? The courage and the loyalty? All Going about life so Half heartedly And what can you do with half a heart? Give it to Me Cause as I'm sat here Reading entrails like some gypsy Passing judgement on you A poor reflection on me It seems I lost mine So I embrace the pain that migrates from an empty chest to A swelling stomach Lift myself up from that gutter And feel what guts are Take half that heart And see how far it'll take me... To make it whole

sleepwalking for one more hour. sleepwalking for two decades with a protruding gut and eyes as buried deep as petrified wood, i’ve dug up a treasure- a realization, if you will. everyone will leave when they see the ice sheets on my bones. a feather without a breeze, a storm of acid rain, wind currents in hibernation, gasping, treading, begging for a direction to open eyelids, sinking, sinking, losing oxygen- marathons, pockets filled to the brim with stones, i am drowning as far inland as a swimmer can be, i am a cold, cosmic dot and one hour will not burn enough energy- my brothers and sisters in the cold, i am one hour further away from leaving this lonely, unforgiving, jagged, racially segregated and factory farming piece of terrain that has worn down my bones without ever using a blade. one hour closer to the next heartbreak, to feeling my heart as a vase dropped down the stairs of an apartment complex, friendly enough to feel its walls in my soul like fresh lipstick on my cheek, apathetic enough to leave the shards under the jungle jim for weeks. one hour further away from the dishonest dream of my grass-stained bare feet, no nails in tires, and mom singing to pop radio while making chicken- one hour more distant from broken pencils and dad’s empty beer bottles. drifting like a poor, lonely cloud given the horrific gift of conscious thought, i am one hour further away. sinking. one more hour of frozen tundra, i am waiting for daylight to come and pass as a sheep without wool, dying much too slowly, for one more wretched, godless hour.

My white privilege is being proud to be black I am white so I can be over the top and outspoken about being black I can say whatever I want about whiteness and or blackness It is self criticism nothing to do with anyone else's assumptions black lives matter more than white lives is the mantra I use to self medicate pick yourself up by the bootsraps making black children excited instead of scared from the trauma of a racially imbalanced world of whiteness in a world that legally denies its traumatic process upon its victims a society structured on the denial that whiteness is a mental illness

I guess I’d say I’m lucky, it all comes down to luck, Historically, I’m born to a time of not giving a **** Geographically I’m free, in a nation filled with greed But in the greater scheme of things, I’ve never known hunger or planted a seed Racially I’m privileged, or so that’s what they say, Though my gripe with my lack of exotic is a vain and ignorant betray I’ve never endured or felt insecure by the lack of melanin that came my way Despite the socialistic statistics, I see realistic logistic Surviving ballistics, Linguistically twisted, Academically average, emotionally insecure, certainly unsure What emotions are for Yes my parents loved me and sure they also ******* up However, I still had to make my choices Of getting high in a garage block, or getting up

I hate this world because of smartphone this might sound odd because it's our home. We have all become stoic and self-consumed men of power, mere comic nobody's amused! I hate this world but I love humanity. the lovechild of God, his purpose, its entirety. We came here to live and multiply and be happy. We came to have fun and feel alive, I hate that we've all become ****** I hate this **** world because of Donald Trump. He's void of a decent word I hate that he's so **** dumb! We have to be politically correct and most time racially sensitive. About many things, indirect About few things, proactive. I hate this crazy world but it still turns us all on Just like an outdated centerfold, That we can't afford to just burn. I hate this world because of politicians They lie to us and live off us. I love this world because of morticians In the end, they do a very good job for us. ©️IB-Poetry 2/26/2018

I Hate This World
Family is more than just blood, you say? Funny that you don’t live by your own words You call our son your grandson when you are just the woman grandpa married You say my husband is family to you But you shame yours for ever wanting to help his son That’s right Your husband isn’t able to ever help out any of his kids but the moment your kids need help? You don’t bat your eyes You’re a hypocrite Family is more than blood, you say? Then why is it that when your racist nephew racially profiled me, your step son’s wife You just sat back and laughed Don’t lie and say family is more than blood for you When you don’t take up for anyone but your own

Family is More Than Blood
The young man killed because he had no other options He killed out of no other recourse ! He will have to **** again if we refuse to understand- his plight or cast quick racially motivated separation .. Render quick judgements devoid of his painful circumstances It could happen at any time .. How can you look into the madness- of our cities and wonder why Can the man justifiably **** the murderer ?

Listen .. That's the Sound of America Flat-lining !
Studio UFA has faded away MosFilm has blended into something new Cinecitta filmed in Il Duce’s day But Kent State University adds their own “We, too!” For they’re now using race to cast a play Kent State obeys the old gauleiter’s cue: Sure, you can act, but what’s your DNA? They only hire Authentics as cast and crew You have to be correct to play a part – And we are expected to call it art
