Exposing the Game ... Imposing the Shame on the Establishment

About Me

Some may see and think of me as some kind of ex-military revolutionary. Or an anti-establishment victim who got caught up in the system. Or a quasi-political, left-winged radical but I merely advocate for politics that are practical. My contempt and my mistrust only makes me stand up for what is just. So, I’m not a radical extremist seeking a final solution although when I do talk of revolution, its not a revolution in terms of tearing down but a revolution in terms of turning around. Seeking not to revolt but to revolve. I seek solutions and resolve. And I ain’t been in the military but I am militant. Although I mean my fellow man no ill intent, I seem to be the one they wonder and worry about while I’m figuring out the way the game gets played. Because I don’t have to be an ex-convict released from a lengthy prison stint to know that the prison industry complex ain’t but so complex. Or that there is nothing but slave labor to see. A perfect match for our slave mentality. Free labor performed by a captive work force with work forced in shops, factories, mills, or on chain gangs but with no choice. Left with no voice except for screams of pain, frustration, and agony. The condition of my people remains sad to see and I speak out on these things because you have to see that corporate sponsorship plus government censorship equals the unsanctioned political debate that gets discussed amongst cellmates. Jailbait for the socially conscious. Exposing the game. Imposing the shame on their conscience in avoidance of a war on being terrorized. Like Apartheid but now somehow Americanized. A veritable ethnic cleansing and the mixed subliminal messages sending an unwelcoming helping hand to the illegal immigrant in a nation that was founded by immigrants. Some came unwillingly and others were willing. Contributing through the buying and selling and stealing of our incarceration … our revolution … our service … are all valued highly but also regarded as worthless. Calling forth Black liberation from an unjust system. An unjust decision based on circumstantial mitigation and subjected to litigation for JoAnne Chesimard, Mumia Abu Jamal, and countless others. Exiled or incarcerated sisters and brothers. ‘Cause the in same spirit of heroism was terrorism seen by the dawn’s early light but it was called an “eerie scene of a war zone” by some and by others “a destruction site”. By any name, it is a rage against the machine called industrialization with America held in contempt as an industrialized nation and death rained down from above as airplanes crashed into buildings, moving trucks filled with explosives killed children, and anonymous bombing attacks delivered via U.S. mail damned US all straight to Hell. Home-grown, foreign spawned, or sponsored abroad- who is the real terrorist? This Black man who ain’t got shit?!? Or that green eyed, star spangled beast? I say, “no justice- no peace” because that’s the way America wants it. She flosses and she flaunts it. Unwarranted? Undoubtedly, but just in case you are still wondering about me or what I am not.Profile Edited by MPS MySpace Editor 2.0 excerpts from As WE Proceed
