Black Art

Poems are bullshit unless they are Teeth or trees or lemons piled On a step. Or black ladies dying Of men leaving nickel hearts Beating them down. Fuck poems And they are useful, would they shoot Come at you, love what you are, Breathe like wrestlers, or shudder Strangely after peeing. We want live Words of the hip world live flesh & Coursing blood. Hearts Brains Souls splintering fire. We want poems Like fists beating niggers out of Jocks Or dagger poems in the slimy bellies Of the owner-jews. Black poems to Smear on girdlemamma mulatto bitches Whose brains are red jelly stuck Between 'lizabeth taylor's toes. Stinking Whores! we want "poems that kill." Assassin poems, Poems that shoot Guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys And take their weapons leaving them dead With tongues pulled out and sent to Ireland. Knockoff Poems for dope selling wops or slick halfwhite Politicians Airplane poems, rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr . . .tuhtuhtuhtuhtuhtuhtuhtuhtuhtuh . . .rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr . . . Setting fire and death to Whities ass. Look at the Liberal Spokesman for the jews clutch his throat & puke himself into eternity . . . rrrrrrrr There's a negroleader pinned to A bar stool in Sardi's eyeballs melting In hot flame Another negroleader On the steps of the white house one Kneeling between the sheriff's thighs Negotiating coolly for his people. Aggh . . . stumbles across the room . . . Put it on him, poem! Strip him naked To the world! Another bad poem cracking Steel knuckles in a jewlady's mouth Poem scream poison gas on beasts in green berets Clean out the world for virtue and love, Let there be no love poems written Until love can exist freely and Cleanly. Let Black people understand That they are the lovers and the sons Of warriors and sons Of warriors Are poems & poets & All the loveliness here in the world We want a black poem. And a Black World. Let the world be a Black Poem And Let All Black People Speak This Poem Silently Or LOUD
