incident + indictment = incitement
for the rationalization
of racism
is threatening to destroy
the core of this nation
as skin color polarization
becomes the deadliest of fascinations
6 lives
a mere Microcosm
of Macro lies
haunting the children’s children
of the movement for civil rights
who become saddled between those
looking for something to believe in
and profiteers of melanin kin
wallowing in the contradiction
of conviction
as
inequality
bleeds into the economy
those without access to wealth
grasp at the match
to light the powderkeg
of change
for human rights violations
disguised
as
rule of law
have always been
the proverbially straw
that long ago
broke the camel’s back
a quadriplegic crippling
whose effects are rippling
far beyond
Louisiana’s
borders.© 2007 dasuntoucha |

You silence me Sun. We went to the protest yesterday. I saw not only black/white polarization. But peaceful African-Americans vs. Revolutionary African-Americans could not agree. This is definitely turning into a Martin vs. Malcolm mentality. Jesse Jackson and MLKIII held a peaceful protest, while the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense stood their ground in front of the courthouse. Every single store was closed in Jena. People had to light up grills, The Red Cross had to pass out water. I will never forget this, ever. This is true reflection of the predicament of our young black men in the deep south, and the battle is not over. We still have to get Michael Bell's release to stick, and the trials of the others haven't even happened yet. This is our time black people! Let your voices be heard! FREE THE JENA 6!
