Human beings - Poem

You share so much in common

yet you cannot get along

you live for your children

you want to see them grow up

you want to give them the best

it hurts you when they hurt

you love them so much

and you also love your family

even though you fight sometimes

you love to spend time with them

those are the best of times

this is how it is for most of us

then why do we let them divide us

we do we fight

we have so much in common

if we would only put the nonsense behind

you ever paid attention to children and how they will play with anyone

they do not discriminate

neither color, nor religion matter to them

they just play

they have fun with other children

and we call them immature

then what is it to be mature

is it bigotry,

no that is not it

we can learn a lot from kids

A Poem About the Future

It is sad how people used to dream about a future,

about future plans and dreams

and now it seems that everyone is scared

Our dreams are on hold

and we get lost in distractions

because reality is not very nice

the people that run this world are not very nice

biological warfare
false flag operations/ staged acts

the threat of a nuclear holocaust because of some evil men

why do we all have to go down with the ship

due to a few rotten men.

why can't we take back the reigns and stop this

and make tomorrow a possibility again?

I say we do it!

The 13th Amendment

"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." 

That is the 13th Amendment. It was passed  on January 31st and ratified on December 6, 1865 it was supposed to abolish slavery, but it seems like it did not and it sent it into the prison system. I have read that the demographics in prisons in the south were flipped and that they started incarcerating African-Americans and working them in prison chain gangs. At the same time after the Civil War the Sharecropping system was another form of slavery in itself, because many times people would work just to pay back debt on land and on tools borrowed.

In today's society prisoners are still being used as cheap labor by many corporations. They pay them from between 11-23 cents an hour which they quickly get back through the highly inflated commissary products. It is the old "Company Store System" all over again. These prisons cut anywhere and everywhere so that they can maximize profit.

This Private Prison System  is profiting off of the misery of others.  These people see us as commodities, they just want to lock us up and exploit us. Maybe that is why the U.S. has 2.2 million people behind bars, more than any other country in the world. Slavery has never ended, things have just changed.

Another thing to worry about is the school to Prison Pipeline which is pushing kids out of schools and into the arms of Resource Officers, or pushing out of schools because they score poorly on the standardized tests. It is not about helping them learn giving them a future anymore, it is all about money, everything is about "Paper". This is not human.

1961

I find 1961 to be a year that we should all take time to examine and see all the things that were going on around the world.

In January of that year Patrice Lumumba the 1^st democratically elected Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of Congo was assassinated,(If you ever want to see how White Supremacy really works, just study the history of Zaire and later the Democratic Republic of Congo).

Another big event that January was that the U.S.’s 34^th President Dwight  Eisenhower was leaving office, and he stunned the world with his chilling “Military Industrial Complex” Farewell Address. In the speech he warns about the military and the weapons industry and how we can never let them get in the way of democracy.

On January 20^th, John F. Kennedy became the 35^th (and youngest) president of the United States of America.

Later that that year in April Yuri Gagarin became the 1^st man in space, the Soviet Union had beat the U.S. to space, that was very big news, for the Soviets.

In April there was the Bay of Pigs, which was the failed invasion of Cuba, after which President Kennedy threatened to dismantle the C.I.A. into a thousand pieces and he said he would scatter it into the  winds.

In April of 1961 Adolph Eichmann was on trial in Jerusalem for his part in the Holocaust, and  he would be executed the following year.

On August 13^th,the Berlin wall was first erected. They could not build a wall overnight, so first barbed wire was laid out and it would be nailed down with wooden saw horses. Later with the year actual walls were build and before year's end there would be 4 different generations of types of Berlin Walls.

In the summer of 1961 there was a homerun chase in the U.S., Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris both teammates on the New York Yankees where having great years behind the plate and were giving it their all trying to break Babe Ruth’s 60 Homerun record which had stood since 1927.

I can't help but wonder, was the homerun chase of 1961 just a sideshow to get people’s mind off of all the problems around the world?  I first thought this when I looked at Roger Maris’s career stats. To me this did not add up. He had never hit over 39 homeruns and now he was trying to beat Babe Ruth’s 60 homerun record that had stood for several decades. Well in the end Maris did hit 61 homeruns in 1961, so could all of these things been a reason for a need to have a distraction to get people’s minds off of all this Cold War,  and a world on the  verge of Nuclear War.

So after the Yankees beat the Reds in the World Series of 1961, something else really big happened. in October the Berlin Crisis of 1961 happened. See it had been decided during the World War 2 conferences that American soldiers could drive to the Soviet checkpoint directly in front of Check Point Charlie, and just by looking at their vehicles license plates, the Soviet or G.D.R. soldiers would let the U.S. soldiers visit the G.D.R. for the day, to either shop, or visit theatrical productions. So after Walter Ulbricht who was in charge of  the East Germany made some changes outside of Nikita Krushchev’s knowledge. Walter Ulbricht asked his soldier to ask the U.S. soldiers for their I.D.’s, and no longer just license plates, so on the 22nd of October a U.S. Diplomat comes to the checkpoint and he is asked for his I.D. and he refuses to show it, and so he informs Gen. Lucius Clay who is the man in charge, and the U.S. sends militarized vehicles to push the diplomat on through, and this continues for the next three days until the U.S. sends ten tanks on the 25th of October. Two days later on the 27th the Soviets counter with ten tanks of their own, but they also had 23 tanks on Unten den Linden, which was just a few blocks away. For 16-17 hours you had tanks staring at each other ready to fire on the enemy given the first provocation.  tanks firmly parked in direct aim of each other, with Soviet MIG’s flying above just waiting for an order; In the end Kennedy and Krushchev settled this matter, like they did the following years Cuban Missle Crisis of October 1962.

One more important thing to  remember about this year is that In 1961 there were 800 military advisors in Vietnam, and Kennedy wanted to pull the troops out, but he was killed in Dallas on the  22^nd  of November  1963. The war in Indonesia ended up killing several million people, and is one horrible reminder of this cold war.

Racist Teachers

Why is Winston Churchill taught to colored kids, in a manner where we are supposed to admire that racist man? He is responsible for the Bengal Famine of 1943. It is funny how I did not find that peice of history in his autobiography. Why would they teach colored kids to look up to these racist men? Does that fall into somewhere in between they teach us how to hate ourselves and worship those who hate us?

I once had a teacher who would tell us how Barrack Obama was not the right choice for president. How he would vote for D.L. Hughley, but not Barrack. I could tell this guy did  not like  the African American candidate,  so he throws in some comedian, who was not on the ballot as a scapegoat to his racism. He also once said that Mexicans and Puerto Ricans were the same thing, like there was no real difference, boy did that anger me, but like any dumb kid, you figure  if you say something it might affect my grade. I  still got a C , when I feel I should have  gotten a better  grade.

I remember a time when I was 7 or 8 years old, I once was day dreaming and I did not salute the American flag, and the teacher made me do it by myself after everyone had finished, and I was shy so I did not do it, so she sent me to the principal's office, and that man asked me if I did not do the flag salute because I was a Communist, or he asked if I was a Jehova's Witness? I did not know what a Communist was¸ but it sounded like he was accusing me of being something bad, so I being a kid just started to cry.

I can remember another racist teacher I once had, who kicked an African American kid, because he was standing in a leaning position during the flag salute. His foot was sticking out too much for her liking and she kicked his foot back into place. I never forgot that. What has that flag done for his people, that he needs to honor that flag. He is a child of 11 or 12 years old, she could have explained it to him, that she thought it was irreverant, or maybe the kid was smart enough to know that he was being played, and he knew exactly that that flag had done nothing but enslave his people and kept them down like a colonized people in what supposedly was also there country.

Today there are standardized testing they are pushing kids who test poorly out of the system, they want to push these kids out of school so that the schools can receive more funding. These kids are entering something called the preschool to prison pipeline. Everything is about money now, and these racist teachers will have no problem complying to the demands of this greedy , racist, capitalist system.
