We marched to the words of "We Shall Overcome" courting justice to walk at our side, seared into memory with the heat of sun brothers and sisters, arms linked one to one beneath that day star's unblinking eye, we marched to the words, "We Shall Overcome." We swore an oath to forego the gun, to carry only freedom's cry beneath the impassive afternoon sun, through bludgeon and cudgel one by one, each truncheon summoning others to rise, to join in the words "We Shall Overcome." As we embraced, the marching done, a crosshairs trained a sniper’s eye to wrench malice from the indifferent sun to hew a path in blood and bone, to rend flesh                      and a rasping                                               fatal sigh . . . in the fading caress of the afternoon sun. Beneath the eternal arc of the sun, again we will muster side by side, a sanctified chorus, whose song will be sung, let our marching echo...                                           "We Shall Overcome.” Copyright © 2018 Gary Brocks Conceived after visiting the LORRAINE HOTEL (Memphis, Tennessee), the site of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Thursday, 4 April 1968. In 1991 the NATIONAL CIVIL RIGHTS MUSEUM at the LORRAINE HOTEL was opened to the public. "We Shall Overcome”, an anthem, title and refrain, of the American Civil Rights Movement of the mid 20th century.

Lithium, light they write, Like it’s right, white delight Striking bright, better tight: Fine and dandy. Glamourised in our eyes The surprise as you rise ****** heroised, Bitter candy. Pump the *** dump the dot ******* it hot, spatter spot Sing a lot, dream but not Craving luncheon. Skagging sweet sweaty meat Blisters well under heat Take a seat, come compete, Beating truncheon. Vie d’artiste, or at least Rising yeast, bubbling beast Trickling triste down your cheeks, Ever daring. Rising up, sup the cup, Acid drop, fizzle pop, Shoobie-doo-doobie-wop, Death to caring.

A toast! A toast!
to laugh at defeat you must sing it a beat and evertime its feels the heat is depleat, blow trumpet at it it will hear it and quit, the sound to it grit naturally it's hit. and when sometimes you think you've had enought of it play it a piano strict each note you unhit will glide it a stitch truncheon sit and glit. music does it fit calm as a mozart huit. a soprano seis never felt so bate.

defeat
Eye of bat and bowels of mice Mixed into a cauldron cold as ice Claw of rabbit, tooth of goat Stir with a tale of a smelly stoat Add two pints of stale perfume Two rats whiskers and an ounce of misfortune Ignite the mixture with a match And burn it down to blackened ash Gather the ashes and grind to powder Add some Arsenic to make a chowder Invite your enemies round for luncheon No need to bludgeon with a truncheon Sit back and watch the final show Love your friends and **** all foe This witches brew should do the trick If they don't die they'll all be sick

Witches Brew
“From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.” –William Shakespeare (Prologue to Romeo and Juliet) I was hewn from the helpless limbs of a tree Which could have grown To become something magnificent Through sanding and carving Through varnishing and the work of human hands I was formed In a way, the tree which was mutilated to give me life Was a foreshadowing of my truncheon fate I swing through the air once again A weapon in the hands of a vehement oppressor Skin splits Blood sprays Bone shatters Bodies litter the dust Staining the earth with crimson testament To the cruelty I have wrought Some of the figures are marred Reminiscent of the tree from which I was hewn Which died to give me life The dark throng of protestors Are but mortals Faced by the immortal power Of those lighter beings Who wield me, mercilessly I wish to weep For the destruction, pain Anguish I leave in my wake I wish I was still a living bough Capable of shedding resin tears Capable of yielding to greater forces Not to force the vulnerable to break But I cannot weep I cannot yield I am a baton A weapon in the hands of those who swore to protect Yet scythe down those who rise to protect what is rightfully theirs Ancient grudge of black and white Break to new mutiny of segregation Where civil blood of those who seek protection Makes civil hands who swore to guard them Unclean.

Cato Manor – A police baton’s perspective of police brutality during protests against forced removals
Be careful of close auditoriums And thick stanchioned stadiums Watch out for iron gussetted doorframes And bar covered windows For your loneliness will trap you there Backed up against the steel barriers And probe your trembling thoughts With it's dark truncheon. Stay away from mirrors Which can reveal your state of solitude Automobiles which will show your inertia Rollercoasters which can skitter you into the past Without so much as a roll-bar And arms, perhaps most dangerous of all- Just before nightfall.

Be Careful
As for me, I chose the alternatives To do what is right without the superlatives, To love people without any threat A choice too many have not made yet. A loving but jealous and wrathful god? Even those words put together sound odd. If this omnipotence were on the level Why not smite the heck out of the devil? I never understood that stuff about Eden. Why have just one tree off limits even? To people who were basically children Why was part of paradise ever forbidden? Any parent will tell you about their kids They would do exactly as those two did. You couldn’t keep them away with a truncheon. Those kids would have a ****** luncheon. Oh, and what a self-righteous creep was He To do what what he did to Job endlessly. It has always sounded evil torture to me; The work of a cloud-bound twisted bully. Then for no reason anybody could ever tell He created a son and then cast him into hell. He let the Devil make a punching bag of Jesus. This God creature seems to do what he pleases. So what about this legend is so wonderful That we heap money on priests by the basketful? We create huge bejeweled palaces everywhere And insist they are houses of God and swear To visit them will make us all godly creatures. Yet we demand no solid proof of those teachers. If a car salesman delivered like that on a promise, We’d take him out to and pound him into pumice.

PROPAGANDIA
When one walks in the night As I do, There is nothing for it But to switch on your torch And pray that the batteries don’t quit on you. If anyone tells you they know this town, Well, that is a cocksure lie. If anyone tells you that the alleyways call to him Then he is simply running from the bridge Stretched over the river; It’s that long drop into black that’s inviting him. I had a friend once, Claimed nothing was alive Till that one clanging clock, But he saw the dawn too early And stepped out like it was daytime already but— Let’s not talk about him. No, I’m not saying No one has business on the night streets. That’s my own call out there, Business. I like thinking I protect the town, Like any other man on the force, But I know what the real danger is. No man should step outside his house at night Dressed up and looking out like the sun’s high in the sky. Fun, yeah, sure, But the potholes will rob you And the little rats will trip you up as well, So it’s really for the best that when I see you Rambling the dark And not skulking like any proper man would I shake my truncheon at you And point your drunk **** back home.

The Watchman
Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Alan Moore, V for Vendetta

The pen is mightier...than the truncheon
Sophia's parents' invitation to tea had been what I thought it might be an interrogation into my life and style and earnings and moral fitness minus the bright lights in the eyes and the torture tools and rubber truncheon (although I am sure Sophia would have found a use for that in foreplay) when I knocked her father answered the door stiff as a corpse eyes on me his hands at his sides his Polish English understandable but stiff witaj he said welcome I said thank you and looked at him then tried to look past him but he was wider than I thought and I saw his shoulder Sophia came beside her father and smiled nervously hello she said hello I replied jesteś tu her mother said behind her daughter English Mama her father said to his wife giving her the hard stare we went into the lounge and he said sit down so I sat down on the sofa and Sophia sat next to me her father sat in his armchair and his wife stood gazing at me as if I was a puppy who had walked in with wet paws you get tea now he said Sophia help your mama Sophia rose up and went with her mother leaving me to my fate he stared at me his eyes icy what are your intentions with regards to Sophia? he said his Polish English was heavy I unscrambled the words good intentions I said (pushing our *** in his bed with her that time out of my head) I'm Catholic and I work hard I added he looked past me as if another waited behind me for instructions horyzont? he said then added prospects? (to get her in bed again as soon as possible would not have applied so I said nothing) I just frowned how are your prospects? he said slower as if he were talking to an imbecile o I said well I can make the grade and become a full nurse I added his face remained still nurse? he said qualified nurse I said he moved his head as if his neck had become stiff and how are you in regards to ****** relations? he asked normal I said normal? he said I mean how to do you think about *** after marriage as the Church teaches? (I pushed any image of Sophia naked and on his bed from my mind) sure after marriage *** is good I said he smiled I smiled his wife and Sophia brought in plates of food and teapot and cups and saucers and sugar and milk and laid it all on the table all done the wife said in Polish (Sophia translated it in my ear) good good he said nodding his head his wife looked at me daring me to touch any food or drink cieszyć się his wife said (enjoy Sophia said) I got up and took a plate and filled my plate with food and Sophia poured me tea with milk and sugar I sat on the sofa beside her sensing her knee touch mine then her thigh (all hopefully far from her father's eye).

TEA WITH SOPHIA 1969.
Sophia's parents' invitation to tea had been what I thought it might be an interrogation into my life and style and earnings and moral fitness minus the bright lights in the eyes and the torture tools and rubber truncheon (although I am sure Sophia would have found a use for that in foreplay) when I knocked her father answered the door stiff as a corpse eyes on me his hands at his sides his Polish English understandable but stiff witaj he said welcome I said thank you and looked at him then tried to look past him but he was wider than I thought and I saw his shoulder Sophia came beside her father and smiled nervously hello she said hello I replied jesteś tu her mother said behind her daughter English Mama her father said to his wife giving her the hard stare we went into the lounge and he said sit down so I sat down on the sofa and Sophia sat next to me her father sat in his armchair and his wife stood gazing at me as if I was a puppy who had walked in with wet paws you get tea now he said Sophia help your mama Sophia rose up and went with her mother leaving me to my fate he stared at me his eyes icy what are your intentions with regards to Sophia? he said his Polish English was heavy I unscrambled the words good intentions I said (pushing our *** in his bed with her that time out of my head) I'm Catholic and I work hard I added he looked past me as if another waited behind me for instructions horyzont? he said then added prospects?

Don’t Defund the police and don’t say all capitalism has got to go Lets be honest, your research is little and there’s lots you don’t know Capitalism, ain’t here, its Neo-Liberalism’s the name of your fear BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS, THE SYSTEM IS YOUR PEER. Okay so the voting system is kind of whack But where’s your money gone to and who do you back? Whenever there’s a bandwagon you might jump on board When you hear “Anti-Racist”, you applaud But on Black Friday you open doors, You leap right into the Capital Maws Here’s the truth, here’s the fact You little post, it won’t do jack When every other step you take is on the beaten track Being, its more than a Scene, and that’s there’s crack WAIT THOUGH! DON’T JUST RUN! HAVE YOU NEVER HEARD OF DAEDALUS AND HIS SON? Jheeze, one Act an Actor makes not If you’re a quintessential ‘Alternative’, you’re still a robot You’ve an arrogance of rightness, that’s what you’ve got The saddest thing is, so does your Despot So maybe there’s a chance your desktop’s got more than social functions Maybe humility with clarity would yield a better unction Than screaming for the death of those with a truncheon Yes they do bad, but they also do good, Many aren’t here, when for their children, they should They’re at work and in stress, or the in grace of Grim’s hood When the **** hits the fan they run towards it, I ask if you would?

Amen to that, be gone you fool, back to your ivory, gold plated, tacky palace condo in the sky, with your iron curtain mail order bride, dumb and dumber sons and the allegedly quite embarrassed by their father, attractive daughters. The wrongly booted former head of the FBI, Sir James may hold the iron truncheon needed to batter down the House Of Trump. Sir James the hero deserving of our respect and lasting admiration, the man that may free our nation, from the fool that would be King, the imposter sitting on the throne of the Kingdom of America, a clown not fit to rule, more fittingly cast as the lowly Court Jester. The wheels of reason and justice will be slow to turn and no doubt Trump will do a good deal more tap dancing on his own male member, to shock and amuse us and of course continue to scare the living hell out of the entire world. While giving the press field days of never ending "Special Breaking News Reports" to frighten and blow our minds. Yes indeed, the Circus has truly come to town, and the petulant corpulent clown with the orange fright wig and baggy suits, he's the star attraction in the center ring. He lacks a funny repertoire of "Clown Stuff" but he sure can lie, and his slight of hand and patented brand and bull **** walk and talk is completely beyond historical compare. Hurry, hurry, hurry folks, step right up and get your ticket, the Circus is in town and sadly in full public view.

Throw out the Clown
Tyres and trash climbing to four long stories high burning the dynamo of governments made from variegated beliefs in sharing seats unspent people divided by calculated fear and farm implements from backyard fences to break the back of steel helmets and rubber truncheon policies. Piled high on the side-walks of history they gather in tight knots yet untangled before water canons and formations of advancing barricades of brutal regimes seated around, round glossy tables of disagreement. Nothing works right if a lone spanner finds its way into the giant machinery that rolls over people down a roadway of dissent. Freedom is not plugged into any powered source if unaccepted in the lone man's spark of will. Soon the doorways of flight will open and haste will chase the suited gentry of harsh cross-hair policies into pockets of safety within other brutal regimes. Fly now while you can the plugs will be pulled shortly and the day will descend into darkness Hellfire will close in around you if you wait to cling to power that is not yours. Run now. Run. Fly. Disappear. Kaput. Finito. Author Notes We go West now. Just coming from deep South. © Marshall Gass. All rights reserved.

Power Cut
bludgeon our minds addled by apathy. cudgel us into comatose. the sixth extinction we couldn't be bothered to prevent. blind submission to the tradition of the truncheon. throw our bodies in the trenches, the mass grave we dug with our own hands. dirt still clinging beneath the nails of fingers raking our psyches. buried beneath ennui. cover our corpses, naked and exposed, with ten tons of soot and ash. strike from the pages of history the utter depravity of the world's cruelest creature: humanity.

MOTECUHZOMA Now, Hungry Prince, let’s brace for weighty words. You know that since our founding fathers’ reign Our kingdoms have been linked like tilting twins, Sharing the fruits and frowns of war alike, Two striding shanks, each foot outreaching each, My Mexicans, the eagles of this island, Across the lake, your leopards of Texcoco, Dainty Tlacopan third and least of all. CUITLAHUAC But, since the death of wise Hungry Coyote- Your father- one alone has hitched the wind, One arm engirdling our fractious state, Which on one mighty truncheon hops her way. MOTECUHZOMA Our Triple Alliance therefore is dissolved. Now must this galled umbilical be clipped, Tlacopan liquidated for our bullion, And you to trudge your solitary trail, With gods’ best blessings for your bond and bail. HUNGRY PRINCE [aside] Oh, let my heart freeze up at this cold news, For if this tongue should blab the ****** thoughts These staunchless chambers seal inside my chest, The tyrant should extract this swollen fruit, And make my skull the drinking cup of God. Thus should I truly mirror this prodigy- A heartless sap, who’s plainly lost his head. TLACAELEL Hungry Prince, Take aim at only what is possible, For you and I alike both know the fancy Of human justice only enters where The pressure of necessity is equal, And that the stout and rivalrous exact All that they can, the weak grant what they must. Of gods we do believe, of men we know, That by a natural proclivity, Wherever they can wield the whip, they will. This primal rule was not drawn up by us, Nor were we first to heed its nascent call. The trail’s long blazed, and we do but inherit This trait, and shall bequeath it to all time, Content to know that you and all mankind, If once enfranchised vast as we are now, Would do as we now do. Exit all but Motecuhzoma and Hungry Prince. HUNGRY PRINCE Thus it must be, Since thus you have declared it for a rule. And though this outlook seems the sophistry Of inharmonious and immoderate minds, Who will say ‘no’ when you have said ‘it’s so?’ MOTECUHZOMA Do not return, when taxmen come to call, And whine that I require too much of you, Since now you nod assent to my decree. You know the fortune of capricious war: Today for you, tomorrow it’s for me. Exit. HUNGRY PRINCE Then revel it, old ruffian, while you may. Tomorrow’s but a fitful sleep away. Exit.

The truncated puzzle::: Her tongue’s truncheon sits solid at the ready (to respond) Her coarse heart, pumps deftly in defiance of a mind’s eye She is the gracile figurine **The bubblewrap warms her steady She is porcelain smoke in a midnight room In defiance of any fingerprint (cryout) ... oh that visage!!! ... oh obfuscated view!!! You must Feign surprise when i can see right through an image of you reflected in glass wide-eyed, unwatered and                ::unmoved:: **Her Limbal Ring, diamond stone display still she is unsatisfied** another inward, in-word retreat. for her braille heart       untouched **forever she fears punctuation Endings.**

Gracile Figurine
#1 A dark September of the rising sun, lay it Think on Nature’s belly, gaze to wide, and wide forget All about the open, a shutter and a swelling, As frost upon a filament, snapped and waving round This cord could pluck amorous sound Now it’s fat and dead vibration Swallowed by Nature, her acoustics. #2 He said I dreamt we made love on moss Quickly his nature for it longs Before and thence thereafter Battered his own skull, the truncheon of those blast desires All of their dreams, disillusioned by a rotting cream Before he ate so gluttonously And loath to think so freely. #3 In the throes of such blanket miseries He was a mountain climbing itself Taillights seeking headlights Middle of the line, seeking the end Though this absolution of Dark September Wretched and cold, has months as he miles Towards the snow of Darkest November.

Some wield their guns, all uniformed up some a stun gun, a pistol on the hip, a truncheon like a symbol of their machismo sticking up out their shiny belt a shiny peaked hat with shiny polished boots a multi coloured car with flashing lights and sirens this is the law all tooled up and some of them can be so far from lawful, and so far from intelligence, you never can tell what kind of lawman just pulled you over but beware, they may well be having a bad day, and your innocence is the last thing on their mind, and they will fume that you may well be going to get away.... from them and yes, some of them do take it as very personal indeed.

**My labido uncontrollable, wild eyed and sick I want to give you a third degree tear with my relentless truncheon **** I wanna **** you so hard I split you in two Leave you shaking and *** all over you Its not enough just to give you a taste I wanna ruin you And leave you a waste See I'm a monster Known as the creep And ******* of yours Are what I will reap Its not my concern If I leave you in pain Blood or *** I'm not fussed As long as I'm making it rain**

The hunger pt.2
Oh ****** detested fly, I do hate you so, From the gossamer that is your wings, To your greenish, blue-black glow. With your thousand-eyed empty stare Inflaming my disgust. Oh ****** detested fly Die you must! To say its nothing personal Would be an outright lie. I hate you with a hate so pure As you light upon my pie! The vermin oozing from your feet, Contaminate the lovely crust! Oh ****** detested fly Die you must! Perhaps a mighty truncheon I'll swing with my righteous hand. Perhaps I'll blast you off the wall With a well aimed rubber band. However I dispatch you hence, On this you may place your trust... Oh ****** detested fly, Die you must! How fine when your mangled torso Is delivered to the trash, And serenity descends once more Upon my corned beef hash, And all within my kitchen, Is safe from your probing lust. This is why, detested fly, Die you must!
