Rain of Terror
By Abiodun Oyewole
Excerpts from a poem by Abiodun Oyewole, of The Last Poets.
America is a terrorist killing the natives of the
land
Killing and stealing has always been America’s master
plan
To control the earth and everything on it
To divide
and conquer is all they wanted.
America is a terrorist killing the buffalo that roam the
plains
Killing and slaughtering animals was turned into a game
Giving
blankets contaminated with small pox
The natives were killed,
the beginning germ warfare
The beginning of white fear.
No
respect for the land, the trees, or the air we breathe
And
Christianity was an excuse to bring others to their knees.
America is a terrorist with a slave system in place
To take away the humanity of a darker race
Put people in
chains, then beat them with whips
Made them give up their
names
Those who survived the slave ship.
America is a terrorist with a Howdy Doody grin
Using the Bible to keep others in check
While America commits
all the sins
Thou shalt not kill, that’s not part of the
American dream
For to kill is a thrill they love to show on your
TV screen
Romance the gun just for fun.
Drop a bomb just
for charm.
This is the American Way.
And all of this talk
about equality, justice and peace
Spewing out of the mouths of
these governmental beasts.
But every time Blacks tried to find a
way to do for self
The American terrorist wasn’t having it
And
fear was all Black folks felt.
America is a terrorist feeding off racism and greed
Not caring or sharing, but enjoying watching people bleed.
For
over 400 years Blacks have lived in fear of the vicious cruelty of
the racists.
They tried to march for justice and civil rights to
be treated fair
Attacked by dogs and fire hoses, beaten by
police, forced to live a life in total despair.
They bombed the
church in Birmingham while the children were in Sunday school
Took
the lives of four little girls, yes this terrorist was just that
cruel.
American terrorism is like a virus that’s home grown
and spreads across the planet too.
Selling guns and chemical
weapons, gift-wrapped in red, white, and blue.
Soldier boys
selling guns for hard drugs in exchange
It should be obvious by
now that this country is deranged.
America is a terrorist and no one wants to admit And pointing the finger at others is the ironic
part of it.
Drop a bomb in Philadelphia to wipe out an
organization called MOVE.
Killed
unarmed women and children because the police had something to
prove.
And all the Black Panthers who were trying to help their
community
Wiped out by the FBI for trying to create Black
unity.
Put drugs in the hood, set folks up for no good.
Kept
unemployment high, education is laced with lies.
Turn the people
against each other.
Made money more sacred than your
mother.
Cause an avalanche of grief by trigger happy
police.
Locked the Black man up in jail, made him think he was
born to fail.
And no place are you safe if you have a darker
face.
Henry Dumas, Amadou Diallo, Yusef Hawkins, Michael
Griffith, Anthony Báez, Eleanor Bumpers, Emmett Till, James Byrd,
just to name a few
Died at the hands of American terrorists.
2015, what does it hold, how do you predict this in a world controlled by a ruthless financial Mafia? How will the festering Western imperialism shape up in a world of shifting powers? I have always believed that the collapse of American imperialism is much closer than most people think. Could this be the year, if so what next? Widespread mayhem and violence, continuous wars as the financial/corporate scum brutally fight for control of the ruins? Who will be calling the shots, will it be a new Caesar, a new Attila? Or will the people seize their moment and turn the wilderness into garden? We have the imagination and the ability, the opportunity will present itself, do we have the will power?
A fascinating and insightful article on the subject of the collapse of what he calls Anglo-Imperialism, from ClubOrlov:

• When the British got tossed out of their American Colonies, they did
all they could, using a combination of import preferences and British
“soft power,” to bolster the plantation economy of the American South,
helping set it up as a sort of anti-United States, and the eventual
result was the American Civil War.
• When the British got tossed out of Ireland, they set up Belfast as a sort of anti-Ireland, with much blood shed as a result.
• When the British got tossed out of the Middle East, they set up the
State of Israel, then the US made it into its own protectorate, and it
has been poisoning regional politics ever since. (Thanks to Kristina for
pointing this out in the comments.)
• When the British got tossed out of India, they set up Pakistan, as a
sort of anti-India, precipitating a nasty hot war, followed by a frozen
conflict over Kashmir.
• When the US lost China to the Communists, they evacuated the
Nationalists to Taiwan, and set it up as a sort of anti-China, and even
gave it China's seat at the United Nations.
The goal is always the same: if they can't have the run of the place,
they make sure that nobody else can either, by setting up a conflict
scenario that nobody there can ever hope to resolve. And so if you see
Anglo-imperialists going out of their way and spending lots of money to
poison the political well somewhere in the world, you can be sure that
they are on their way out. Simply put, they don't spend lots of money to
set up intractable problems for themselves to solve—it's always done
for the benefit of others.
