The Amistad Mutiny

Slavery, a dirty word no matter how it’s pronounced:
Abducted and herded to the slave fortress of Lomboko1 for trade.

On the North Slope of the Brooks Range;
A west to east Northern Alaskan mountain chain.

Scream French revolutionists as they guillotine monarchists heads, 1
Then crown Napoleon Bonaparte Emperor of France, 2
Who commands the French forces in wars raged across Europe.

A capitalist nightmare glares like rotten fruit
The squate root of Beiruit

While a part of my soul longs,
To be carried away,
Far far,
From myself,
To another world,
To a mountain top,
To a lonely place,
To where the air is thin and light,
To where sensations stop,
To where feelings end,
To where noise...

Sudden instance...

He was a common man...
Common man's feat defeats
Nature's stubborn blockade
The mountain has taken
away his beloved -
Phaguniya - still haunts

He started cutting...
Rocks with his hammer
and chisel all alone
People ignored
his great desire

He made a road

the world watches Holmes
sit “dazed” in the courtroom,
with each mainstream media
monolith
churning out the sound bites
referencing his eyes & his

of course the one that can
be likened most to something

Those ruddy, Cherokee...

where the greatest miscarriage of justice people would know

Another place

There is another place, where all things are possible, 
All words may be said, all thoughts brought into the limelight.
A place where emotion is welcomed and judgment takes no sides.
