Limbs

Of one limb raised to smack,
the other to block,
when the blow lands,
with fury and recklessness,
angered because the debased,
is not complaining,
stretching the limits,
of the hitman's
intellectual,
and moral capacity,
in the process, 
bone and joint are struck,
the beatings,
one, two, three....,
 keep coming,
the souls are debating,
one is a diamond,
that without,
exposure to,
the black velvet,
loses all shine,
one loses its moral decorum,
the other is torn,
but not indignant,
and not blaming,
the striker for,
this controversy,
hopeless and defiled,
a preacher standing by,
absolves the cruelty,
a politician prescribes protection,
not of the torn,
but that of the tormentor,
a containment language,
is coined,
to get so much profit,
out of the defiled,
and reward success,
in the business of,
mistreatment.

The 28 steps into a Black Reality in White America

Image
The 28 steps into a Black Reality in White America Ubuntu/Obuntu philosophies are notorious for exacting community reviews on individual actions. The Lockean proviso is notorious for absolving those who objectify humans as property.  There is an economic, cultural, development, political, religious and colonization philosophy into which sanctity of life; preservation of dignity; promotion of health; ensuring quality life; uplifting those in need; leveraging agency, autonomy and self-determination so that individuals can experience the fullest benefits out of their existence are sacred and accessible.  The outcome would be a buttress upon which privilege is equated to universal access to opportunities to address needs. It is something to be proud of. Or is it? This is a vignette of 28 pictures drawn by a White person who found time to depict different versions of the words “Black Lives Matter.”  A rt can be deciphered from a figurative or abstract style. In a...
