CONNECTIONS (PART 2)
CONNECTIONS (PART 2)
There is no “I”
lest it’s a Roman numeral—
uni vs.
individualism.
I’ve merged into the
international communal vision;
from the teary eyes of
Tanzanian children
to
the indigenous people of this capitalist nation.
Our resistance is more than
the Death Penalty’s abolition.
For our Third World brethren
will NEVER BE free unless
oppressed Americans
AWAKEN !
Dis-United States is
the impoverisher of Third World nations.
Our obligation:
To attack oppression
wherever it’s drinking.
This imperialist mosquito
has injected
Americans with anesthetic material possessions,
while guzzling
our blood, the lives of our brethren.
WE have to see the connections,
the Middle Passages
our oppressors are still traveling.
If you can’t, or don’t want to see them,
here’s my question:
If this government doesn’t make you a victim,
whether here, or in another nation,
does your silence or in-action make you
a perpetrator of international oppression?
Draw the connections.
