BLACK FRUIT - 199 So - before You pick the Apple Of Life You have to ... loosen the noose to pick from the Tree Of Life a Life taken a Life STOLEN from Us. The birds chirp they carry a pollen from here - to there they hover from tree - to tree carrying the Seed Of Life from one Life to birth Another -- Life BUT - for the Black Fruit Its Life flew away to waste It’s gone to Zion before - Its due - time oh Mi Brother … so~o~o pon de’guinape, ackee an’ cotton trees ... Black Flesh hangs there draped down in Death’s pose helpless - waiting to be plucked down waiting to be cut down swinging there a SYMBOL of subliminal fear subliminal ... apprehension oh My Sister … yeah pon de’sycamore, apple an’ mango trees ... The Tongue out - pointed out - DOWN as if trying to taste Its last gasp of air ‘ave You seen My Papa heard from Mama … woo ..? Man’s taste no longer PRODUCES ... saliva crud now forms to seal the VOICE of One who now stands - DEAD the noose … through its tension has taken the Life out of One’s muscles it now HOLDS ... the shell of a Body that once homed a Living Soul ‘ave Yuh seen Brother heard de’cryin’ of Sis’ta pon de’sycamore … apple an’ mango trees ..! The foam that clusters Lip’s corners is the Life-pulse that the BRAIN is yearning for as it FIGHTS to keep whole Body - ALIVE. Shoulders … slouched - DOWN gravity has taken over the Nose is tighten from LACK of resistance - and the Nostril is no longer moist from the Life that once lives through damn dem crackers havin’ a pic - nic an’dey picked … Sis’ta so~o~o …! Hands caught by the klan’s trap unable to HELP ease the weight - Body weight on Its ... neck It TALKS a symbol of defiance has It CLINGS for Its Life pon de’guinape, ackee an’ cotton trees ..! In defiance … Fingers - the Fingers jumps and jerks knowing - They can do nothing - NOW to feed and comfort the Body They have cared for … ALL - Its Life dance … Their final dance - They danced before releasing Life to the - atmosphere pon de’sycamore, apple an’ mango trees ..! Toes pointed D ~ O ~ W ~ N down to the earth down to ole’Akkompong It once trod pointing to where Its BO~DY will finally lay to fulfill - the Cycle of Life. The lynched - is castrated away from the collective swinging there invaded - mutilated disgraced - raped swinging in fear swinging IN ... apprehension so~o~o … before You pick do loosen the noose! The ‘apple’ tree - thought its vines sucks minerals and water from solid ground to nourish itself to bear its ‘apple’ fruit for next harvest but the isim of racism burdens its branch with the Fruit Of A Womb a Womb whose child o~Pickney~o is now lynched Pickannanie~o so that the racist can decrease Black Numbers yes, Womb-Fruit is lynched ..! two for the price of one dey lynched da’pregnant Black Woman lynching in Her latest trimester killin’ Mamma an’de Unborn ..! When the harvest has past the birds and the bees will carry on Nature’s Cycle and the ‘apples’ will next season be sweet - again but BITTER is the taste of MAN’S saliva when His last steps on mother earth pon de’Akkompong is hoisted up by (the tension - of a - noose)2x His Bowels pass as His Shoulders give - in to the TIGHTENING of colour-hate around - His Neck the SANCTITY of this - a Natural Ceremony is jeered on - mock~ingly by (the INSANITY of a - mob)2x pon de’guinape, ackee an’ cotton trees ..! The Innocence of shame and pride is ripped and torn from Body It soaks and colours the fabric the Soul once wore so It drips to fertilize ANGRY ground brewing to rise - one (thunderous - mourn - ing)2x ‘ave Yuh seen Papa heard de’cryin’ of Sis’ta feel de’mournin’ of Mamma seems they’ve captured Brother ..! His Eyes pulp - out … dazed-like taking Its final look - at the DEVIL and his klan as the whole Skin becomes moist It loses Its bright - radiating - life-luster the Blood is dying - as It flows … but to the noose’s tension It STARVES for oxygen so the Lips - just jesters flatters and jesters. The Tear is dried It flows to a STOP on deaden flesh-skin the wind carries Its moisture - away as it comes to claim the Life ... hanging. He shivers cold sweat the Body is fighting to CO~OL a dying Body but Life IS ... giving in to -- It’s out-numbered by hate so all that drips - NOW is time. An’ Breath goes suffocating back resurrecting BACK ... to where It ONCE began so the whole Body - co~o~o ... It collapses as Life goes - flying It poses DEATH’S stance waiting to be plucked down waiting to be cut down swinging there a SYMBOL of subliminal fear a SYMBOL of subliminal ... apprehension ‘ave Yuh seen My Brother de’crackers are havin’ a pic - nic an’ dey’ve trapped Sis’ta seems they’ve captured Mamma ‘ave You seen Mi Papa pon de’guinape, ackee an’ cotton trees de’sycamore, apple an’ mango trees ..? There is a still - stillness silence has TAKEN its place when One is hanging from the TENSION of a noose (- the staccato utterances -)2x so it is ‘They’ who sing the happy song down by the riverside down by - the River’s side de’crackers … dey killin’ Mamma and Pickaninny submiliminally kynching I an’I ..! The motion of Her Body swings from the fighting of a Warrior resisting the EVIL of babylon to the trumpet sound of Those past - gone before summoning Her Soul proclaiming BLACK to Zion down ... down from the sycamore tree down from de’sycamore, apple an’ mange trees … When it’s Your LAST breath it’s a fight - no orderness to it “aghastation” the body language of the lynching … is stapled on the crucifix where the gods, goddesses, lords and the maidens laid there in body AND sweat sacrifice for the devil’s mockery to them - the mob that bedevils it’s a feast in in ENVY of Black Flesh. From the atlantic to the pacific including mexico’s gulf Blacks’ Souls hang there subliminally for historical documentation though taken for granted as the Life fights to live in apprehension Black Life the victim of the Life - It lives from the canadian alps the american - united appalachies to argentina’s southernmost foothold coast to coast along its coasts there - Black Lives were and forever crucified so the invading - debased - a-plagued racists can enjoy an order of self-jollification onto celebrating their bloody-sacrificial religions. This they do attempting to ridicule Man(’s Jehovah) who has transcend this GIFT of sacrifice that this now humbled Black Token willed have - eternal Life so in envy of this “Man-God” relationship crackers whip at Its Flesh as Blacks go beyond - to perpetual utopia! An’ as We realize - that that this is NOT the method by which Melanin dominance should travel - the Human Cycle the Warriors BLOW Their trumpets calling the Assembly to plan a confrontation FINAL REVOLUTION FINAL REVOLUTION FINAL REVOLUTION for (there is but one - high Ia)2x - AND no matter how many times they try an’ crucify I at the picnics of their religious sacrifices Black Souls … armored in Melanin stoutness (will rise - reincarnated Souls triumphant - in battle.)2x Have You ever seen the Body swinging? - well! It strikes a toll a SYMBOL of subliminal fear subliminal ... apprehension. So - before You pick the Apple Of Life You have to loosen the noose to pick from the Tree Of Life a Life taken (a Life STOLEN from Us.)2x ---- just as how they have replaced their “illegal” supremacy organization - the ku klux klan, which sprang up after reconstruction, with their “legal” judicial forces of the central intelligence agency, the federal bureau of investigation and the special police forces; so have they replaced the noose by the more sophisticated and organized ‘tools’ of r. j. reynolds, the centers for disease control, the drug task forces, the abortion issue champagne and the “propagandize” media, etcetera.

DISTANCE - ANTICIPATION - 99 Distance anticipation thoughts sleep -- but restless as Dreams are nightmares questions: what’s happening … but why when will distance turn into sweat - passionate sweat will it? Who? looks behaviour attitude mentality ambition impression first impression - wait yes -- looks will it matter - should it matter - does it? Wants what to look for what to show what to expect what to give what to want and what to - say. Anticipation causes Me to worry when will thoughts become reality when will distance become closeness - that We share the same breath space of Life to go on - together when will My anticipation to -- turn into sweet sweat of joy. Questions are more than answers they say so - will I sleep will You sleep will We sleep away My restlessness sleep away Our what-ifs. Distance is it forever? anticipation should it be? thoughts are they being wasted? sleep ... Well … questions are: what the hell is happening? why? who? when? how? should I? will I ever? Time hurry-up an’ go by I can’t take the wait the distance the anticipation the thoughts the sleeplessness I can’t wait I don’t want THE WAIT. When will We be close … to We?

TRADESWOMAN - 108 She is an’ OLD EXPERIENCED TRADESWOMAN labouring at working so long - so hard - so alone with Her only ‘TOOLS’ these tools are between Her - seductively to physically satisfy - AND inside Her - compassionately to emotionally sooth and make less harmful. What has gone so BAD with society? the oldest of professions they say has gotten so saturated de’Pickney Dem innocence stolen especially - with the innocence of Children many of these Your virtuousness … violated poor - helpless young Women -- and yes ... facing the realities of - Boys too oh young Man why? They have no other choice - seems ... a choice has failed so They’re out ‘SELLING’ Their dignity for whatever the reason - an escape from a bad-minded daddy or a careless, slight-minded mommy - to feed a Baby de’Pickney Dem hungry Her Children crying for a bite to eat a choice has failed - to find shelter from the crime-filled streets or, so sad dis young Lady - She is caught hooked on one of society’s mind-killing chemicals: if you think for once it is the lure of money on esteem’s gravity that pushes so many sweet - tender Souls to choose this ‘road’ - THEN you have something wrong and that thing is definitely in your STUPID phobiatic head. O~o~oh - the bravest of all are THESE Women They possess an Inner Strength no-one can explain They know not where this body in lonesome an’ bashfulness took its ‘BODY’ from, or just how fucked~up the mind is - BUT strong - strong - STRONG sympathetically motherly and full of the attraction man pleases with all of Her OWN burdens She lay - DOWN ... on submission to willingly accept another’s -- WORRY the compassion that man seeks to solace his need is trivialized to the juices a physique feeds yet a society incarcerates instead of addressing why “Jesus” seeked for ... the sacrificial blood that drips the hands in his RESURRECTED state -- what time of the month must woman be ready for man to save himself beneath Mary’s skirt [OH …. SHE IS A BRAVEHEART ..!] What would the WORLD DO WITHOUT - THESE - WOMEN it’s liken unto They’re ‘placeth’ here symbolizing trees to shade us from despondency’s embrace to feed us the lust of desolation’s juices and in some miraculous way provides ‘clean air’ so we all can - LIVE now - the lone voice that fights to save a tree’s sacrificial is often forced ‘down’ by industrial military might as it profits whom if She is lower-classed. (A)(A very multi-talented - multi-gifted multi-available - multi-everything She will be a mamma ... compassionately a listener ... sympathetically a shoulder ... so strong lean on this Corner Stone you worried man - YES!) a teacher - a fortuneteller a psychologist and a friend to the most troubled of any - BODY what a burden society has placed on Her understandings what a position to be caught - trapped in what a disgrace for the human race so many MOTHERS have ‘lost’ Their dignity nobody gives Them any respect nobody cares to change things for the better - best while hypocrisy “alleluias” a condemnation with a nerving pinky They mascara a tear. They have an Inner Strength instead of the menace of begging - stealing or accepting public assistance They bite Their prides in pantomime silence suck Their stomachs in as a ballerina pivots hold Their heads - proudly up to post stamp’s sculpture and go-off as Dulcima hurries to work the streets of any city any town any village this inexperience puts laughter to the college bound a profession that is text written. YES! - A PROFESSIONAL TRADESWOMAN a pebble in the avalanche of rolling stones one can find Her brave-heartedly on the battlefield - anywhere as society has created the situations, so She WILL always be … in need She IS always in … need. Unaware of sexuality’s curse living an acceptance in … a trapped body selling Self the lie soothing a nerve of tomorrow’s catatonia this Woman wouldn’t be treated so if She was conceived as a boy-brother this Boy would not if He was a little girl - a sister but in Their controlled schizophrenic state the orifice is the septic that hypocrisy flushes as They so many times run away from the “devil” and find Themselves in “hell” the hell of a street corner selling Themselves to any - body bidding. Whose ‘BODY’ is this She has to … take in? where has ‘IT’ been - and why causing ‘IT’ to come seeking - Her bosom for some ‘shelter’? why does ‘IT’ have to come to Her to be released to be filled … with satisfaction? is the confession of family so hijacked by moralities She is labeled to be “derogatorized” by the class Her split personality patronized didn’t She smile at Her shadow in Cinderella’s glass chariot waving an’ throwing kisses.(A) Such a real Woman She deserves much mention of praises, for THE SERVICES - SHE PROVIDES - TO SOCIETY of which the religious mythology associates must be shattered by the pulpit’s book whose “vampireous” ideologies have led millions of unsuspecting women to the guillotine’s crook -- in order to address and begin to attain solutions to this addiction which is wrongly been criminalized the deficit of the have and the have-nots must be “despiritualized” despite the baptismal in apathy - as in the excitement of balancing the budget pussy mus’ ... get wet concealing pity in the stains of cheap make-ups. Crime stopper fights the villain or the victim is supplied the cause or demands the repercussion whilst He applies lip’s make-ups who will be whistling as asses cascades high-heel ‘steppings’ is He daddy’s failure or lacking too much of mommy’s cuddling for as penetrations heard of “oh shit man!” the vocabulary spatters society its realities for - at what period … is His orifice of concern to this satisfaction of the addicted note: it is NOT THE POOR who hardens up to jack-off the use of Her talented tricks but the HYPOCRITICAL middle an’ upper classers who can AFFORD the bills - yet SOCIETY LABELS HER “THE BAD ONE” cycling Her through the doors of recidivism a tax-break to the haves and a burden to assure She will continue to have not as the chameleon suits in its deception are you one of its enemies belittling ‘cause you stride in upright. Why is the road of Life so unfair many - too many were not given a chance to experience, CHILDHOOD They went right from the Womb to the streets, it seems because: a large percentage - running away from - the home running … to find Themselves - They were caught-up in situations that led to Their present condition - unfairly, so many are born right into the profession following mommy’s footsteps or worse yet - forced into this lifestyle by Their Own parents. What - an INNOCENT CHILD society owes Her if it is - at least a little respect give it to Her if it is - a simple thank you this for saving YOUR family’s grace She would appreciate that yuh know She got a ‘voice’ too! if you think the things She does are so wrong then - put yourself in Her place an’ envision Souls entrapped in this unexplained perception and you will see … yourself - in His space and something WORTHWHILE has to be done for these INNOCENT CHILDREN. An’ society make it YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. Tradeswoman - tradeswoman … Wi know sey yuh life well hard put yuh life pon de’line fe’a chare yet yuh kimbo de’smile jus’a gwaan
