The abandonment of blackness

During the 70s and 80s I attended so many political marches rallies and demonstrations in regards to equality.
There was no distinction it was about sexual liberation inclusion of all abilities and the acceptance of all
creeds and colours.



Sexuality was the first to be integrated into the main stream partly due to the ever so public portal of the
homophobic brutality with which it was being attacked. The general public ever fearful of violence wholeheartedly
supported the integration of these individuals whom through no fault of their own had sexual different likings.



Next came disabilities. How could any progressive modern nation not consider those unable to gain access to work
leisure social venues drastic changes were made for their inclusion.



That left blacks. No longer supported by the sexual brigade abandoned by disabilities they were left to march alone.
There was no excuse for being black it was not a medical condition nor a genetic differences of a perceived norm.
Blacks were accountable for their own social political and economic standing. Those same disabled and sexually different
individuals that blacks had previously supported became the front line barriers to political inclusion. Incorporated into
local government infused with that new sense of power those once allies vigorously rebuffed any attempt at advancement.
One small concession was made allowing a small number of black females to enter the political arena unfortunately that
required almost losing their blackness. The stage finally set blackness was abandoned as a notion of inequality and pushed
into the realm of threatening deviance.

The harshness with which blacks and black males in particular are treated by the
legal systems in the western world reflect nothing more than the desire to never allow equality. As such blacks can be beaten
murdered and publicly humiliated without fear of repercussion from the wider society. If it were a dog or a child there would
be outrage condemnation and change but be it a black man woman or youth and the victim is seen as deserving such treatment.


It is time to take control of and defend our own communities. There are so many aspects of our communities that are not right
and require drastic action to ensure the safe nurturing of the young just as much as there is a need to defend ourselves and
our communities from the authorities that seem hell bent on its moral and social destruction. We are at war with both a system
of continual abuse and our fellow blacks that have lost all notions of self-worth and integrity. Until we accept this fact and
collectively act against it we will continue to be lost and continue to loose.......

I’m waiting for my friend

https://43spiders.wordpress.com/2016/06/16/im-waiting-for-my-friend/

It’s not the distance we travel that makes life hard

It’s the people we carry and those we discard

For the heart and mind are limited and sometimes

We see others along the way and we ask do you

Want to come with me but you have you room

They say 

Hold on a sec I’ll see what I can do but then the

Choices are given to you do you carry more than

Your really meant to or lose another along the way

Wait here my friend someday I will be back for you

And on that journey we stay

Left behind on the side of the road, hungry sad lonely

And cold we wait for that other who the story did told

That this way they’d come again

Passersby catch our eyes

Hay you come with me to stay is demise

But lost and alone with distant eyes we say

I’m waiting for my friend

Don’t be silly you lonely fool promises are broken

That’s the golden rule and here you’ll be all alone

In the distance you can hear the cries

Some are hello’s and others goodbyes

And ever so often it appears to the eyes that

There’s other along that road

Distant and still almost like road kill they litter

The way ahead and behind

Maybe I should walk and try to catch up those

That have left me behind

As I walk I meet others I’ve seen before

How long have you been here where have

You been

Do you want me to carry you

Hop on and we’ll start our journey

Once more

Get me out of here ;o

Of forgiveness and belonging

What would it take to hear

The whispers of your heart

In the dead of night when

The world has forgotten the

Damage of man and the dawn

Has yet to reveal the darkness

That sleeps within the children

Of the morning

And still there is the sunshine

And the rain falling upon the faces

Of those that would kill the knowledge

Of forgiveness and belonging

grow away from ourselves

There is beauty in those eyes and a presence

of love that emanates from the souls knowledge

and there hanging above is an awareness of freedom

and the birds of desire seeking new and distant lands

yet still we are balanced in indecisions and restrictions

imposed acceptably as we seek directions in which to

grow away from ourselves
