When Reading “Second Coming”

10 Jun

What is the countercurrent?

It is not the Erineyes,

it is a revolution call.

Just an updated version

from what many preached before.

Malcolm and Fanon spoke of structure.

We must burn till it is built.

Self-empowerment.

 

Now is not the time to listen to Philip Glass’ “The Hours”

there is too much ringing in your ears

bloodshot eyes from the night before.

Early June and its not only green

its this epitome

the world is flooding away

Parts of the island are lost each year.

The ones who can walk away

Don’t care

Now its a question of who will stay.

 

The red-winged blackbirds song

A song for what is beyond the determinant.

As night time beckons

and she just wants to fly.

We are the felines

thinking prey

in a sugar-coated speech

We’re all in this together.

Lets embrace

the brown paper bag of hope.

 

Any spiritus mundi must believe

that the rivers can flow to all of us

The ghostly spirit of Lycaon.

Don’t bother with the meat

for the golfing fascists to eat.
