ramadhan: day after

been avoiding the news, the same news i glued to for information, as a child, on happenings in the world, whose fiction i spat with fan loyalty like wwf fans cheered on by the urgent vocals of the sports-casters.

babylon.

began to watch it to watch them, the rulers of our universe, the ones who dress themselves as sheep and stitch wolves clothing on those they anhillate, whose countries they rape, whose lands they steal with cold steel pressed on the backs of men with beards, women with covering. wolves who occupy the highest positions of power both in the financial capitals of the western world and in the print, visual, audio media that governs your tastes, excitement, incitement into saying- bomb those terrorists. into us in the privileged realm to dissect the victim, get into their pathologies, into how they could be tossing molotovs and homemade rockets at the poor nuclear apartheid holocaustic state, whose name was stolen from the bible and old-testament.

even the left who beef with each other on a word in a manifesto, who come to blows for less, nod their head in judgement on the desperate self- defenses of a people who live in a permanent refugee status, in what desmond tutu termed as worst than any apartheid he'd seen in south africa.

at best we might say free the occupied territory, but may not recall that this country with the star of david, was only fabricated 70 years ago by way of some of the most heinous acts of colonialism, which replicates to a T, its brother nation, in the manifest destiny that began here on the shores of north america 4 centuries ago. from a religiously persecuted people to jamestown, smallpox, genocide, slavery...and a steady media campaign to remind u of the savagery of the headhunting godless natives.

your average right wing historian will acknowledge that america is stolen land. not, the hopi or navajo or shoshone...reservation, as occupied. but somehow we can't make that connection about what was palestine. lets just talk about the gaza-rez that's being gassed with cyanide, hailed with bombs. hell, india, with all its issues with pakistan, refused to recognize israel as a legitimate country till the 90's, when it opened its shores to neo-liberalism and gave up on the movement it began against british colonialism 50 years prior.

is history repeating itself? not to liberal historians and academics who are stuck in romanticizing the defeated natives and how great they were. the defeated shifts, goes beyond color. we have more of an equal opportunity for cracking the whip so long as we bind to the ideology of the them, the new savage, which alleviates you from that title. whew!

the truth is most of us know/see that the wolf has no clothes, the babylon king never does ( i see you obama). but we're too scared to say anything. rightfully so. leonard jeffries a professor at city college back in the day, blasted white people, harangued the chinese merchants in africa, thrashed the arab slave trades, but the second he said something about zionism, he lost his job. deep.

you could talk about white people, about the crackerism of american history, but don't mention the zionist-persuasion of anything...you will lose your political position, academic position, your life. gotti had nothing on the mafia that controls america.

watch your neck kid!
