What muthafracker would
Bomb the Motherland and
Call it humanitarian? Mc Cain?
Amiri made me think…

I.
Errrrrrh… Errrrrrh… Errrrrrh… Errrrrrh…
Calling all Africans
All Africans
Africans
Africans
All humanity, anyone human, humane
Calling all Africans
All Africans
Africans
Africans
Continental and Diasporic—
Flaunt dense temporal
Lobes, clutch elephant
Memories in the
Age of…Austerity
Age of…Alzheimer’s
Political dementia!
Errrrrrh… Errrrrrh… Errrrrrh… Errrrrrh…
Calling all Africans
All Africans
Africans
Africans
Clutch memories of the
Pyramid scheme that
Kidnapped and brought us here
It rattles in its death
Throes and must be buried
Remember when we
Were light workers,
Sentinels of light,
Righteous star seeders
Helping bring it down?
Emit infrasounds if
You hear me when I
Say this muthafracker’s
A marathon—not a sprint—
An inevitable struggle
For socialism, no speed-
Bump, Iceberg Slim or
Supposed third road can stop,
Amiri made me think…
II.
Errrrrrh… Errrrrrh… Errrrrrh… Errrrrrh…
Calling all Negroz
Mentally ill— fidgety,
Flighty, dialed into dumb shit
Losing all ability
To analyze, THINK
Independently, carry
On conversations,
Respond to the environment
Yeah, there’s power in
The Now, but memory
Peels cataracts from
Third eyes, so we peer
Into futures free of fractured
Spirits, cupped hands, crimson
Streets and filthy rivers…
Amiri made me think
III.
Amiri made me think
What muthafracker would
Bomb the Motherland and
Call it humanitarian? Mc Cain?
Which one could turn the
Earthquake in Haiti
Into military operations,
The buzzards’ banquet for
Disaster capitalists? Buffett?
Which one would invite
Another brother for beer
With his arresting officer,
Clarence Thomas? Shaq?
Which muthafracker
Could march on Morehouse
Give a“Niggeraintshit!”
Commencement address &
Get a standing ovation?
Rush? O’Reilly? Hannity?
Which one would watch BP
Blow up the Macondo Well,
Kill eleven workers,
Millions of mussels, shrimp,
Crabs, sea turtles and birds &
Call it the Big Bank Theory/
Too Big To Jail? Bush? Palin?
Heard this PhD professor proclaim:
It’s the complexitiesandnuancesofthepracticalapplicationofthehistorical
ContinuationofpostracialimperialisttesticularprowessofpaxAmericana—
Anyway, an unlettered, low-life,
Like me wouldn’t understand,
So he “unpacked” it of bovine odor,
Broke it down into laymen’s language
Like The “Wink-wink, Nod-nod strategy—”
In other words, Iceberg Slim bombed Africa
Wink-wink, Nod-nod, to fool white folks
That way, it don’t look like he playin’ favorites,
But, soon as he free from them Repubicans and
Outta office and set up his foundation he be
Free to give Africa all the aid it need…
Errrrrrh… Errrrrrh… Errrrrrh… Errrrrrh…
Errrrrrh… Errrrrrh… Errrrrrh… Errrrrrh…
Amiri made me think—
Marx & Lenin let me look…
