queenie harlems queen of crime
ran the neighborhood
dressing to the nines
a civil rights activist
financial wizard
she taunted gangsters
to steal her territory
in newspaper ads
a gang war ensued
forty people were left dead
killer queen escaped

For his Venus you know why.
He's been claimed such a great artist!

Find the issues within
Pop outta your bubble

Never fear a fair fight
Blessed be this brave land
In truth we will all stand

"Don't look down on anyone unless you are helping them up"
Quote by civil rights activist Jesse Jackson.

Shine a light to show them the way.
Kindness is Free.
Showing that you care is the key.
Fill lonely hearts with joy today.
Spend time if they want you to stay.
Kindness is free.

P aper, though seemly precious, is often covered with pa P.
L and fills are flooded with an endless stream of unusual L
I rony covered tomes which if ever read, would define ennu I

Yes, you can!
You can be the change
the spark and the light
someone’s sun on dark days.
Sometimes, it doesn't take much
a smile
a nod
a simple thank you can lead the way.
So be that change.
Be the reason someone smiles
offer a hand when they stumble
a shoulder when they break.
Be the voice that speaks the truth
the first to rise
the one who dares
change begins when you do.
Jesse Duarte
Muslim South African
Dead just before age 68
Best known as antiracism fighter
Along with Mandela
That generation is dead, it's over
Self-serving "ANC activists & comrades" remain
To steal and blame (minorities)

Jesse was eloquent; loyal leader & 'spokesman'
"Diminutive woman;" Dedicated warrior
Never about herself
She died today
Will be buried today
Now, her religion shows
we
the defeated being
in the slogan of conqueror
we
the dependent lame child
in the independent constitution
we
the blind activist voter
in the eye witness breast of sun
we
the wounded survivor
on the cured smiling of mass-leader
we
the rumor of political price hike
in the barren womb of onion
we
the loyal kick dog
of republic royal govt.

Anyone who associates with,
this Animal Rights (semi retired) active Activist,
does so very dangerously at your own risk,
because I am on my government's Holocaust List,
so if you associate with me,
to however small or great degree,
you're in danger of being placed on that list also, right along side with me,
and right now my government knows that you are giving this a read.
You Have Been Warned Everybody.
I am planning to come this way again, I swear
Circumstances of my future stay yet unknown,
My status, caste, or the native clothes I’ll wear
I am planning to come this way again, I swear
Maybe next time with a less disarming flair,
A concerted effort to be more laissez faire
Less the activist, perhaps, more like a drone,
I am planning to come this way again, I swear
Circumstances of my future stay yet unknown.
