BLACKLAND
A Black place in cyberspace
Spirit of Another Worlds
04.24.05 (12:37 am)   [edit]

Spirit of Another Worlds


We live in the chaos of an insane planet


Psychopathic white men rule every continent


And there is no place a Black Man can get away to


Nowhere we can protect Our Women and Children from hate.


Some have asked me why I write so angrily


But it’s the simple truth that enflames their heresy


We can no longer pay no mind to our senses and our histories


We must learn to speak our needs and breathe only for our victories.


We are holy human beings trapped in a sinfull world


We are the offspring of this planet’s most brilliant prodigy


Giving our children’s children’s fortunes to our masters for acceptance


Multi-dimensioned spiritual people held captive by the dead and the color-less.


We seek solutions where there are no easy answers


No clever retorts can take us through these bitchass winters


There is no perfect sermon to bring all the peoples to the same faith


And even the funniest mutherfukas on earth cant laugh us through all this bullshit.

9 STOPS FOR POWER
07.16.04 (2:28 am)   [edit]
The NINE STOPS FOR POWER is the result of a collective effort to put forth a series of ideas which can be used by anyone with an interest in bettering their own life and their community. It is NOT an attempt to be a total solution nor is it intended to be an absolute program. Rather it is meant to be a catalyst for individual thought and action. Take from it what you can and pass it on. It IS meant to be shared.
(Freedom: the state of being free of restraints; political independence; free will)
(Power: the capacity or ability to or accomplish something; strength, force or might)
We see a difference between freedom and power and we believe that Black People have been mis-directed to seek freedom, rather than power. We submit that individual freedom, freedom of choice, freedom of movement, freedom to consume, etc, has blinded us to the reality that we wield no power of consequence in america. We want to focus on building collective power; power to protect, feed, clothe and house ourselves and to produce for ourselves and to be respected in the world
Why NINE STOPS FOR POWER? We have looked at the many problems we have and it occurred to us that some of these problems are the result of a lack of self-control; things that we are DOING which aggravate our existing conditions and prevent us from working collectively to solve these problems. We are, in a collective sense, out of control. We believe that control is a matter of power and the more individual power we have, the more powerful we become as a whole. Therefore, the NINE STOPS FOR POWER are simply nine things that, if we just STOP DOING them for various lengths of time, will enable us to take more control of our lives and gain some POWER.
We have proposed that the NINE STOPS FOR POWER be tried for 30 days. At the end of this initial trial, we recommend an evaluation and sharing of the results with others. This is a voluntary action and it is up to each person whether they will try one, some or all of the NINE STOPS. We do believe, however, that if a significant number of Black People were to do the majority of these NINE STOPS for 30 days, it would generate tremendous change within and without our communities in a very short time. The NINE STOPS can be done without anyone's 'authority' or permission except our own; they cost no money; are not illegal and can be done individually or collectively. In fact, the more individuals who participate, the more collective it becomes.
There will be those who will dismiss the NINE STOPS out of hand because they seem so simple. This is not for them and we will not spend time here debating the various critics who will jump out to oppose. There will also be those who will see the NINE STOPS as an affront to their freedoms. That is why we propose the NINE STOPS as a voluntary effort by individuals and collectives by choice, because we desire action and results. We recognize that gaining power by STOPPING is a radical idea, and what those who control fear the most are ideas about self-control.
