Mumia Abu-Jamal
and us
are incarcerated
in a country
that could be called
Palestine –
a sealed-in
cell-shaped
space
where children
are accused
of bringing it
upon themselves,
where we are confined
in human zoos
reduced to bare subsistence,
our very humanity
strip searched
to the bone
by white phosphorus
or the C4 bomb
burning MOVE children alive
on May 13th 1985 –
while armed guards
pet and feed
their slave patrolling dogs
during their lunchtime pauses
before resuming
the daily pleasure
of genocide

October Seventh – The Day That Shook Our World
fifty years ago
this year
Amilcar Cabral
was gunned down
by a NATO hired hand
fifty six years ago
this year
Che Guevara
was executed
by the Bolivian army
hand in hand
with the CIA
neither of these warriors
ever stood by –
they both left burning
within us
the ancestral embers
of the longlasting victories
they lit
in fifty years
in fifty six years
our children will say
October 7th
this year
sparked the days that
shook the world –
the streets
rekindled
with Che Guevara’s
and Amilcar Cabral’s
flame
are not standing by :
whether in
Amman
Nabatieh
Johannesburg
Cairo
Tunis
Algiers
Paris
London
Berlin
New York
Seattle
D.C. ,
the mercantile
divided and dividing
Apartheid driven
elites
will be ruled
by the rising resistance
of the world’s peoples for Palestine
everywhere
crossing the boundaries
of their caged
warehoused
mass incarcerated
streets
