Desperate Land of Lawful Orders
Actionable non-compliance
was up in the economically excluded from it all sectors… increased militarization came accompanied with a shorter perpetrator margin of error… and those with big mouths who busted into fast moves when ordered by armed others to stay put…or quite still kept popping back up like a periscope scout on trench fire throwing punches………pop …………………………….
Defiance
defiance collides with use of force continuum
compliance collides with use of force continuum economic injustice over large area brings stress volcano economic injustice is rebranded into extreme racial divide extreme condition neighborhoods are ignored like witnesses extreme condition whistle blowers are ignored like dissidents white housing project privilege in not White House privilege black cases that will divide are front-lined others not so much blood choke a people too long and the world breathes fire air choke a person too long and the world wants a new hire
Concentric Circles of Reality
Countless Americans abuse the cops
in a variety of ways from sincere indifference to side swiping their interstate bodies to sniping them every now and then verbal abuse might as well be black sidewalk chalk and that abuse cycle is going to roost over the radio once again maybe on somebody who might have caught a king sized break maybe on somebody who didn’t really do much with their yo-yo maybe on your children’s adopted global children maybe the cop’s exemplary service record sees them through the way a funeral director helps you
Eye Charts and Extinction
Economic retinal atrophy, Americans can’t seem to see
Political retinal atrophy, elected officials can’t see past the businessman’s projected earnings joy Migratory issue glossoveritis runs for state then national office Migratory issue glossoveritis runs to future corporate jobs and offshore accounts Germ layer gentleman ride the illusion elevator ever up Germ layer gentlemen ride the private dollar to public harm to monetary heaven Greed has always had global aphasia and doesn’t understand stop Greed has always had local aphasia and doesn’t understand help Hangman’s fracture finance promises to investigate future public health problems at the hangnail level Hangman’s fracture finance promises Mother Nature’s heavy metal poisoning is just some talkative mental patients fleeting mirage Elevated ectoparasites whisper invisible orders reducing future centenarians by food, water, air Elevated ectoparasites order scientists into more chemical invisibility utopia eugenics
Downsizing Fairness, Upsizing Profits
Malcolm X, Wounded Knee II, the Black
Panther Party and more, all really scared the financial elite, then they began militarizing the police to be able to feel in control in the land where they own virtually all and still want everyone else’s share of more plus the super police and increasing corporate mercenaries would be extra protection against ordinary people wanting, democracy, a living wage, socially just pay, unfracked water for their kids, world peace, a reduction in global warming, and can’t you tell by now those same ruling elite will kill you to keep acquiring all and more until apocalyptic end |
