By the Sun and the Moon, what must we do with our anger and fear?
What must we do when we are on seeming sidelines, smelling the gas of violence cast just
down the street, but not upon us?
What must we do with the clutching anxiety galloping before a choice between action and
complicity?
Where do we go to be messy outside of prescripted lines and respectable bounds, to both have
something to stand for and much yet to learn?
How must we begin, if not from the same biotic soup of our own birth, but furious against the
gritty visored maw of an empire, that even now boots down upon the people?
What will we truly lose, but discover ourselves thrashing in the tangles of some wire rooting
through every room in every building, every street, found unjustly around the throats of the
murdered, the same wire running through the head, into the pocketbook, and the pleasures of
just staying out of it?
Who must we listen to, but those living under the salivating mouths of oppression and property:
grinning sourest contempt at its wanted prey.
There are no simple answers, until knowledge delivers us back to each other:
to know the country is not the land,
to know we only endure by organizing together,
to know Death can do well and is here.
Corrupt was the hope in the dream to be great
Corrupt was the thought to own
Corrupt what is yours
Corrupt what is mine
and the wire keeps winding in.
Corrupt was the tenderest colonial coo
Corrupt was the launch to space
Corrupt in the comfort
Corrupt on the land
and the American lie infesting
