Long Radicalism Poems

A Fundamentalist Flaw assumes too great a divide
between HumanLiberating Left
and DivineConserving Right 
hemispheric cultures.

Left's deduction gestalt is all about separating human nature
(Ego's experiential nature)
from Earth's sacred nature of transcendent 
truth-passion/beauty-pleasure,
which is much more of a...

I know fundamentalists 
who confuse themselves with radical truth-tellers,
bedrock keepers of Allah/God/YHWH's Timeless Orthodox Tradition.

Fundamentalists are, however
prejudicially supremacist
in their idolatry of their own monoculturally True Tradition/Scripture/Wisdom/PathWay

Where radicals portentously include 
the entire multicultural-polypathic 
both/and spectrum of...

Hello, I come to speak of peace,
The kind which saves the mind from deviation.
To give life to dead instincts,
For the lost throne belonging to black men is found.
Let the whole world come to hear this...

It is funny! 
Very funny how
A masked preacher can preach honesty; 
And even points at the wrongs with his
Fingers of hypocritical righteousness…

We stare with grim satisfaction

One does not stamp out radicalism
any more than one outspends capitalism
or fights successfully against militarism
or overpowers totalitarianism.

Degeneration
is what can follow manic fast-growth regeneration,
if you're not well-seasoned.

War and terror
can come from tribal competitions,
peace and freedom fighting and squabbling
for...

cloaked in the pride of dogmas, their words bleeding on the edge of new chains,
shouting freedom while forging other shining shackles,
and the air smelled of paradox,...

She always wondered how it would be
If she, a black girl starred in a romantic comedy
Where she wouldn't just be used as comic relief 
And she would be desired by the male lead

Solid roots buried deep within the earth
Though a chimera
Far above the dense ground
High high above
Where there is no one else around
But down down below
To a place rarely talked about
Where everybody goes

The Youth, now lives amongst lies not in truth
Raised by propaganda and taught by the media’s ways
No one’s yearning to begin true learning
Such shameful ways of living, these are truly new days.
They’d rather listen to...

Yesterday morning, while waiting,
  	nursing a too-expensive latte,
	I read poems by Dylan Thomas
	from a worn paperback of English poetry 
	that my friend, a poet,

Too many listen and give in to domestic terrorism/
Home’s a wreck and terror’s risen for our children/
Most don’t inspect many carry on missing radicalism in their own colosseum/
No call to see ‘em no wall we’ll...
