Clean chicken coop

Remember Eldridge Cleaver

Ron Karenga

Emory

Amina and Amiri

Amina never forgets what you told woman at door of Black House when she said she was European and Native American.

Amina said you told her, "Native American can come in, the European got to go!"


Remember when I took Eldridge to meet Bobby Seale

to get him out of our hair

though he was paying Black House rent from

Soul on Ice advance royalties

then

Lil' Bobby Hutton came with message from Supreme Commander Huey

I told Lil' Bobby, "Fuck da Supreme Commander!"

Lil' Bobby said, "We go deal wit you dude!"

Panthers clicked automatic weapons outside our room all night long

remember

click click click

click click click

45 automatic

click click click

shotgun

click click click

click click click

we didn't give a fk

just like Panthers

we fearless crazy too

didn't give a fuck.

we survived

praise be to allah

Across from our room

Eldridge and BPP

plotted invasion of Sacramento

changed history

Negroes with Guns

Robert and Mabel Williams style

better ax somebody

 

In Gullahland

predators come for your fowl

Chickens ducks turkeys pigeons doves

Snakes wiggle coops

Coons fearless fight your dogs

your door open

coons march in

Devour dog food/chicken feed

door open

Rooster/ hen come inside

hen lay eggs on couch

Rooster guard door

pimp in da hood

you come to my room

Disturb me with love talk

attention

woman satisfaction

Seduce me

coy woman game

leave computer for your love

Eternal love

Not friend with perks

friend for life

When all lovers gone

Mine as well

may we call upon each other

for final kiss hug embrace.

Hapi b day

Queen of Black Arts and Liberation!
