while alive
those that lose lives
without ever having
been allowed
to have one
never mind
ownership
of many

A special play
with 2 casts
one is representing “liberty”
the other representing “freedom”
the director looks on in anticipation
the audience is freshly free slaves
not freed
because no one freed them
free as in they had to **** every one
with possible intent on enslaving them


Liberty: stop taxing us so much
so we can take over the world
with slave labor
Freedom: stop building an institution
out of transporting us
into your time machine of whiteness
**** and slavery
which is more inspiring
to human children?
no wonder greed breeds
more of itself
educating this
whiteness is taxing
beyond repair
too much pressure on humans
every where
even in itself
whiteness colonialism
dissatisfaction with life
dressed up as “Indians”
throwing tea over board
while freedom is being bled
to death
liberty
weeping
wailing
tantrum
in legal terms
institution
imperial

As the force of the jet
pushed my head back into the seat
I watched the racism of whiteness
become smaller
and smaller
and it disappeared
then all it was is clouds
awww...
this must be heaven

Being black
the trauma of America
The early childhood
how do you teach
whiteness
that it is also really black
that its fear of being black
what could happen to them
what has happened to them
is happening
a reason to dissociate
from a melting ***
from humanity
a gateway drug
hallucination
what have you
a split

****!
that **** was multicultural as ****!

Officer of whiteness to my father
“whose that?”
while pointing at me
“My son.”
Thats when they began
profiling
watching
Handcuffing
itching to use their guns
gossiping
slandering
putting me in danger
that thing whiteness dismisses
as paranoia
that is a new driving force
that was once
called sexuality

the strain is hard to to believe
never mind that it is me
I think Im being pulled apart
I thought my heart was my home
but really it is all alone
mourning in a shell of servitude
born into a custody battle
over who being human belongs to
I own blackness by birth
but they still think whiteness
has created its meaning
the worth
of origins
reclaiming ownership

owls are wondering
why the **** aren’t they seeing
turning their heads all around
heads spinning 360’s!
missing the destruction in their wake
owl says what the ****
how are those stiff necked *****
humans
not seeing this wake of destruction
is crashing down on them
they just look ahead
as if there is something there
still organic
surviving their destruction

The historical process is but only the transference of obscurity to normalcy...
amazed at the reserve
atleast
I hope thats what it is
because surely you are not
the corruption we were discussing heatedly
back in unbearable silence
far enough from those screaming for help

its factual that we are unsafe in America
how is it you look at me
and ask for the future

gender cannot save us
race cannot save us
money is being used against us
and we make it real

apathy doesn’t need us to know
how it has taken over those
that were proud to be white

I invited you to a rich human progression
that is also where the best of you has come
blackness
nativity
Africa
the pioneers of being so envied
because of our long earned intimacy
with nature
the jealousy
that made colonialism a thing
calmly
genocidally
referred to as whiteness

you were right to be angry
you were wrong to stop

im invested fully in the business
of deconstructing whiteness
and ******* on its confidence
misplaced in humanity
lost and trying to drag us into no where
