What a wonderful world

What a wonderful world 

Virus filled

Wash hands

No more shaking

Bow bump

What a wonderful world 

Filthy water

No water

Toxic global food

Let locust eat

Eat locust dummy

What a wonderful world 

Femmicide by men who

Claim love of women

We love you to death

Slave for us

Give us babies

Then we kill you

Don't refuse our beatings rape

We love you

Oh men

We can love each other

Be gentle kind

Better than cave man love

Stalking us

Cause we might give up our pussy

In the night

And we might

It's our pussy to give

Sure ain't yours

Can't appreciate good pussy

When you get it

Give you babies

Can't appreciate this

All in our pussy business

Why you think I want to kill

Your baby

Why you want to kill me

What happened to your kiss

Sweet embrace

Tender hug

You devil now

Control dominate devil husband

You S and M husband

Not man I married

Just love me

Like when we met

You were kind gentle

I gave my all to you

Then you flipped

Cave man appeared

Not the man I met

That beautiful day

in the park

How did we come to this

What a wonderful world 

You disgrace me everywhere

Mexico Pakistan Saudi Arabia

India Nigeria America  France

Where don't you

Where do you treat us right

Name the place nation

Let us meet there

Learn again the art of love

On Socialists and Capitalists

Would you bet on a three legged horse or a man who can't recognize his daughter from his wife? Sadly the choice is between Twittledum and Twittledee, Biden or Trump. We say Biden because of the black firewall and Trump because of the white firewall. In a sane world, Bernie Sanders might be the more reasonable choice because of his progressive policies but in the current ideological quagmire, reason is not a consideration and sanity is an impossibility.

As per socialism/communism vs capitalism, the capitalist are the socialists and the poor wage slaves are forced sycophants of capitalism. Alas, we live in a so-called capitalist society with no capital. Most of us don't have one thousand dollars in the bank for emergency. And most wage slaves retire broke financially, physically and mentally.

But the real socialists (pseudo capitalists) rushed a multi billion dollar welfare check to the farmers in the tariff war that the farmers rejected in favor of trade.

The real socialists, fake capitalists, bailed out their brothers in crime, the bankers, telling us the banks were too big to fail, thus the wage slave home owners were scammed out of their basic wealth in the so-called capitalist system, i.e., home ownership. The sub-prime loan scammers suffered no prison time. Bernie Maduff went to prison for his pyramid schemes only because he robbed the rich rather than the poor.

Imagine, it costs more to be poor than to be rich. In the hood the poor pay more for everything, food, housing, medical, education, etc. The capitalist politicians have socialist medical care but offer the poor and wage slaves capitalist medical care. Why don't the people demand the same medical plan that politicians have, especially since the people pay for it? 

The poor pay more at the grocery store for food not even considered food. Ghetto food is essentially petrochemical, derived from oil, not earth, thus toxic and prepares the poor for the pharmaceutical and medical industry. My friend is a retired truck driver who used to deliver food to supermarkets in Los Angeles. He said the food he delivered to rich neighborhoods was not the garbage he delivered to ghetto stores.

The pseudo capitalist, aka, socialists, practice a form of communalism called interlocking directorates whereby they rule by switching hats except there are no good guys wearing white hats, they are all blood suckers of the poor. They had to kill Mr. Epstein before he revealed all the members in his Lolita Express club!

Elijah told you no politician of this world can save you, yet you persist driving into a cul de sac, a dead end street. Year after year you vote Democratic Party, then get fucked four more years. Your voting rights are perennially violated, including  renewal that indicates your rights are not permanent. Yet you are the most loyal citizen yet  not a citizen. You were the first to die in the American revolution, Crispus Attucks, but still seeking revolution in Babylon. How long, oh Lord, how long?

As per socialism and capitalism, a sister noted on the news tonight that she was no better off under Democrats than Republications. So we think socialism will save us? Hell, we thought Rev. Jim Jones would save us. Some years ago Minister Farrakhan went on world tour and came "home" with the revelation that no matter where he went in any country, whether Christian, Muslim, Socialist, Communist, or Capitalist, black people were on the bottom.

I have had and still have many friends who were and are socialists, communists and capitalists. I don't give a damn about ideologies, religions, izms, schisms, sects, cults, just get me the hell out of this motherfucking bullshit called Americanism, the biggest lie on the planet that is rapidly being revealed as the whore Babylon, the haven for every filthy unclean bird. FYI, I left Babylon but was brought back against my will and thrown into prison. I have been under house arrest ever since. Vote for me, I will set you free.

The Whispers - (Olivia) Lost And Turned Out [Official Music Video]

Coming soon from Black Bird Press: Tariq, Rock of Gibraltar, Moorish General, Conqueror of Spain, 711AD

Tarik Ibn Ziyad

Moorish General 

Conqueror of  Spain 
711AD

"The Rock of Gibraltar"

a film script

by

Michael Satchel

Introduction by Marvin X

Ṭāriq ibn Ziyād (Arabic: طارق بن زياد‎) also known simply as Tarik in English, was an African Berber Umayyad commander who initiated the Muslim conquest of Visigothic Hispania (Present day Spain and Portugal) in 711–718 A.D. He led a large army and crossed the Strait of Gibraltar from the North African coast, consolidating his troops at what is today known as the Rock of Gibraltar. The name "Gibraltar" is the Spanish derivation of the Arabic name Jabal Ṭāriq (جبل طارق), meaning "mountain of Ṭāriq",^[1] which is named after him. The Moors (Africans/Arabs) ruled Spain from 711AD until 1492. Most of what we know of Spanish culture is Moorish African and Arab. After the fall of Grenada, Seville and Toledo, Moorish cities of grandeur, we never hear of Spanish greatness again.

For McCoy Tyner, RIP

Oh, McCoy

Is the universe smaller
infinity larger
time a dimension after music
Coltrane said he flew from the bed you laid
musical flowers petals in the pond of life
you said
life is music music life
without music life a mistake
Nietzsche said
McCoy spirit man
were you the ghost of
A Love Supreme
You and John
Philly men
North Carolina men
church jazz
flying high above temples of the mind
searching deep life's conundrums
all is music
music is all
Thank you McCoy
magic fingers of Love Supreme

McCoy Tyner, Jazz Piano Powerhouse, Is Dead at 81

Mr. Tyner, who first attracted wide notice as a member of John Coltrane’s groundbreaking quartet, influenced virtually every pianist in jazz.

In Memoriam: My Main Main
A poem for James W. Sweeney
by
Marvin X

James Sweeney gave Amiri Baraka
a poetic introduction at AB's 75th b day
celebration in San Francisco



Death is swift
death is slow
death to friends
death to foe
death is sweet
death bitter
death taller than Mt. Tai
some deaths lighter than feather
death comes winter
death summertime
do not fear death
death is life
life is death
don't separate divide
death is life
life is death
there's no escape
enjoy the moment
love da one ya wit
it's cheaper ta keep her
why get another lover
same
different name
who won the game
player got played
woman said

I said in my poem Round Midnight
for Monk
"Death always round
tryin' ta steal life
death always round
tryin ta steal life
If it don't get husband
it get the wife...."
Round Midnight, Round Midnight....

Sweeney my main main
Sweeney did thangs
you ain't never seen nigga do
Sweeney did thangs
you ain't never seen nigga do
Sweeney came to my play
One Day in the Life
This nigga jumped from his seat to stage
like Superman/Blackman
Sweeney jumped on stage
in middle of my play
put himself in the script
ain't ask me shit
you don't believe what I say
domestic violence scene
rocked his world
he jumped on stage
Captain save a girl
had to do intervention he said
he didn't know she was gonna shoot dat nigga dead
tell me truthfully
have you ever seen a nigga put himself in a play?
Jump from audience an' make script go his way
This black arts movement theatre
revolutionary people's theatre
people make the play
BAM theatre ain't nothin like Broadway
silent death theatre
no call response black nigga African theatre
Sweeney couldn't jump on stage in New York broadway show
white folks do play dat nigga shit
negro broadway either
Sweeney played blackway
no shame in his game.

So glad he came for Dr. Cornel West and me
People told me he was happy to be there
I was happy he was there for me
like the many times he came 
Came to my Richmond house book party
wearing sandals with ashy feet
elder black woman whispered
dat nigga need to grease his feet!
I didn't care bout his feet
I was happy Sweeney was there.

Ran for Mayor of Berkeley
His uncle was Judge Sweeney
Sweeney had law degree
he was everything a black man could be
I was amazed the things he said of me
Said I was, "The freest black man in non-free America!"
Said,"I walked through the muck and mire of hell
but came out clean as white fish and black as coal!"

He was poet too
I gave him honor to introduce Amiri Baraka
at his 75th b day party in San Francisco
Sweeney gave Baraka poetic intro

We love you Sweeney for all the love you gave to the Bay
mental health projects
partner violence recovery meetings
homeless drop-in centers
Berkeley City Council member
Renaissance man
entrepreneur
lobbyist for the people

You praised me much my main main
All praise be to you
All praise be to you
May your family be at peace with your transition to the Upper Room in our Father's House
We'll see you there
I swear!
Well, maybe, maybe not.
My internet connection says the federal surveillance van is near.

Addendum

1. I must recall the book party Sweeney and his wonderful wife gave me at their home in Elk Grove, a suburb of Sacramento. Although I live a Spartan live (Mrs. Amina Baraka, 1967), I am amazed when visiting the homes of our "progressive bourgeoisie" because their homes are virtual art galleries. Sweeney's home had an abundant collection of paintings by our most revolutionary painter/sculpturist Elizabeth Cattlett Mora. Before my book party, Sweeney had me stop by the home of Judge Henry Ramsey and his wife Eleanor Mason: their home was a virtual art museum, including paintings and sculpture  by Elizebeth Cattlett Mora. She was my contact for my second exile in Mexico City. She and her husband were witnesses at my civil marriage ceremony with Barbara Hall, mother of my daughters Nefertiti and Amira.

2. After Duke Williams gave the libation, in came a procession of the Linda Johnson African dancers, including Linda, Raynetta Rayzetta and Rashidah, with drummer Val Serrant and another drummer. The dancers praised Amiri Baraka at his feet. Queen Rev. Mutima Imani facilitated a blessing ritual inviting everyone to send Baraka love by saying together, "We honor you and respect you."

The dance segment was too much for event organizer Marvin X who was so moved with emotion he broke into tears of joy and was unable to speak for a moment as he began moderating the panel discussion Black Studies and Community. He called up James W. Sweeney who introduced Baraka with a praise poem.

Baraka talked of his work in black studies, including the time he came to San FranciscoState University to help establish black studies, after an invitation from BSU leader Jimmy Garrent, who spoke on the panel. Rev. George Murray presented his views, stressing his spiritual work in the community after going to jail during the '68 strike. An English instructor, George became minister of education of the Black Panther party. Abdul Sabry, a BSU founder, also editor of Black Dialogue (a key publication of the Black Arts Movement), stressed the Islamic roots of black studies.

Ptah Allah el, a former Black Studies major, coined the time "Black Studies went to college and never came home." He read a poem on that theme, then introduced Dr. Dorothy Tsuruta of the Black Studies department. She tried to explain the good black studies has done the last forty years but encountered static from her fellow panelists who disagreed with her, citing the failure of black studies to create community projects. Bernard Stringer, a BSU and strike leader, had told Marvin X that black studies lasted one year in the community. After than, reaction sat in and has continued to this day. UC Berkeley professor Cecil Brown, author of Hey, Dude, What Happened to My Black Studies Department, spoke on the origin of the student movement in the south with the protests and sit-ins. He told how the student struggle was throughout the Bay Area, California and the nation. He cited the UC Berkeley student strike. Marvin X was himself the target of Gov. Ronald
Reagan’s attack on black intellectuals. The same time Reagan attempted to removed Angela Davis from UCLA, he moved on Marvin X at Fresno State University, 1969.

Marvin X said told the audience this event is just the beginning of dialogue on critical issues in our community. The Jazz Heritage Center director, Peter Fitzsimmons was so elated with the turnout that he told Marvin X he has the green light to plan future events at the Jazz Heritage Center and Lush Life Gallery. Marvin X thanks the following for their support: Paul Cobb, Gene Hazzard, Adam Turner, Walter Riley, Rev. George Murray, Terri Collins, Jimmy Garrett, Christine Harris, Norman Brown, Dr. J Vern Cromartie, Suzzette Celeste, HuNia, Thomas Simpson, Wade Woods, Aubrey Labrie, Duke Williams, Geoffrey Grier, James W. Sweeney, Mutima Imani, Davey D, Eugene Allen, Paradise, Charlie Walker, Khalid Waajib, Emory Douglas, Wanda Sabir, Michael Lange, Duane Deterville, Earl Davis, Ken Johnson, Renee, Leon and Carolyn Teasley.

Eight fundamental laws of Negrology

Eight fundamental laws of Negrology

1. Don't ask a nigga to do nothing you can do by yourself.
2 A half-white ( mentally and/or physically) nigga cannot be trusted.
He is likely to fuck up your shit if only by accident, more than likely on purpose due to jealousy and envy, whether conscious or subconscious.
3 If the nigga is not on time, do not wait for a slow ass slothful nigga, move on to the next agenda item.
4 A hard-headed stiff necked nigga will refuse to follow your order even when paid to do so. If he finally submits to do what you are paying him to do, and he sees the beauty of your idea, he will say, "Oh, that looks nice. That's nice!" To yourself you think, "You black motherfucka, why you take me down to hell to do what I am paying you to do, you low information vibration mentality motherfucka!"
5 Use tricknology or reverse psychology on a nigga at every turn.
You must trick the trick out of the trick!
6 Never allow a nigga to tell you what he believes. Belief ain't shit.
The sun is shining but you believe it is raining outside. Fuck your belief, what do you know? You believe up is down and down is up? You a sick mentally ill ass nigga. You got a dick but believe you got a pussy.
What are the facts. And you believe you bleed five days a month, right?

7 If you are God, do the work of God, if you are descended from King Tut, do the work of King Tut. Don't tell me you are the greatest yet ain't producing shit, creating shit, ain't thinking shit. Would God walk around heaven with his pants off his behind?
8 The nigga is in love with everyone except himself. He hates himself because he doesn't know himself. If he knew himself he would love himself. He loves the devil but knows nothing about the devil.
He thinks the devil is a little red man with a tail and pitchfork. The devil is the man in the mirror. You sleep with the devil, your partner who will turn States evidence on your ass quicker than you can say Jackie Robinson. And you thought that bitch (man/woman bitch, don't matter) loved you! Go to divorce court and/or probate court and you will find out how much that bitch loved you.

The Honorable Mayor Ras Baraka, NewArk NJ

Subject: Police violence and the Newark NJ Model

I am thinking how nice it would be for the citizens of the Bay Area, Oakland, Berkeley, San Francisco, Richmond, to say that they feel relieved of police pressure for the first time in their lives. This is what the citizens of NewArk NJ said to me on my recent east coast booktour.

When grown men and women told me this, it brought tears to my eyes. But imagine the possibilities coast to coast. We need to invite Mayor Ras Baraka to tell The Newark NJ Model.
He also brought down gang violence by employing youth, many of whom had never received a check before.

I have long called for the USA to do the three things in American citices they offer insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan: housing, education and employment.

Parable of the Smarter than God People

The smarter than God people wanted to be in everybody's business. They wanted to invade the space and disrupt the peace of people who wanted to be at peace. 

The smarter than God people were peace breakers and their sole purpose in life was to disturb the peace of everyone. They invented eternal wars so people would be unable to live in peace. 

The people lived by the laws of nature until the smarter than God people attempted to convince them

a rooster would be better off as a hen. They said we should call the rooster a hen just for fun, even though such misnaming confused children. The smarter than God people were pure evil in the persona of good, but their smart ideas were of evil intention, yes, of the devil. Only the devil will come into your house and cause chaos then pretend he is innocent.

The smarter than God people would allow every filthy unclean bird to fly into the land, no matter if they were infected with deadly diseases. The smarter than God people were known to manufacture diseases  and infect populations to control them and transform them into evil beings.

The smarter than God people must be checked at the door when they knock. They must be kept at a distance from the people who love peace. Their tricks and lies must be made known to the people of peace. Their ideas must be neutralized and not allowed to infect children. The smarter than God people are of the devil and are of no use to people who love peace.

Picked me apart

His pickings
Cotton picker hands
Fingers in the bowl
No pricks

Hunid pound picker
Missed nothing
