Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - A Little Bird Named Cacaphony (Poem)

Correction.

Should read: " "You can't take the country out of the chimpanzee, and you can't take the chimpanzee out of the country !"

Chidi,


Shalom! 


The latest: Al-Jazeera  


And no more barbaric poetry or barbaric bombardment expected after Auschwitz


These days Eretz Yisrael = Jerusalem+Washington DC 


# Correction: "Tenths" should be changed to "tents" 


According to Judaiac sources, Abraham visits Ishmael and leaves the message. "You have to change the direction of your tent "


"He said to her, "When Ishmael comes [home] tell him these words, 'the son of a wise man is like half of a wise man,' and tell him that an old man from the Land of Canaan came to see you, and he said, 'Exchange the threshold of your house, for it is not good for you."


(People lived in tents, in those days. Multi-billionaire Muammar Gaddafi proudly continued to receive his visitors in his tent 


Excuse me :


Giddy with power and drunk with the thought of the $14.1 Billion aid package earmarked for his country's war on Gaza, he may be thinking this about the international community, the Arab League, The United Nations, The International Court of Justice, etc, 


"You can't take the country out of the chimpanzee, but you can't take the chimpanzee out of the country !"


However, he will soon have this other think coming, about the prospect of swinging from a tree, not like a monkey but like Eichmann, another supreme Aryan white man, except that luckily for him, since the death penalty has been abolished in his country, he won't hang like Eichmann, but he can be taken out of the country to the Hague, to face the music there. 


In the meantime, he only has to worry about How Israeli Leaders Could Face Arrest Warrants - w/. Triestino Mariniello


Chidi, I hope that you're following the discussion about REVOLUTION!


Sadly, no response yet in this forum about W.O. Maloba's proposal, but plenty of the usual profound, academic tittle-tattle splitting hairs about democracy by those who should be in the trenches….


As the Last Poets rapped, " Niggaz are scared of revolution ", and I hope that you will at least be agitating at the Owerri Motor Park on the day when the revolution comes, because they (The Last Poets) say that "Some of us will probably catch it on TV with chicken hanging from our mouths".The very least you can do, in the spirit of your poet-brutha Gil Scott-Heron: Work for peace 


When the irreligious strive to dehumanise and demonise their superiors they resort to sacrilegious vocabulary. So the holier-than-thou killers say about their prey: "They are like animals !" They like dehumanising others but they don't like being dehumanised - or crucified - like Jesus, because they strongly believe themselves to be above the law - as the sons and daughters of "The Most High", the rest of us mere rubble, humus, unlike the Am ha'aretz 


'More Animal Farm vocabulary, " Moses the tame raven" of course doesn't want a revolution, he'd much prefer to be perched on a professor's chair at Princeton... 


BTW, the last time I heard the poetic term  "Baboon" being used  - and with great effect, was in the run-up to that wonderful, soul-satisfying election, these chilling words, that if cheated again, then " the dog and the baboon will be soaked in blood"

War break,
Jungle quake,
Jungle dwellers
Divided,
Pitch tenths
And apportion blames.
Jungle
Continues to quake.

In the beginning,
The fox attacked
The nest of the dove.
With its claws,
Made mince meat 
Of dove children.
The dove fought back,
With its beak
Made fox's abode inhabitable.

A little bird named cacaphony 
In a shrill voice
Chirps,
Genocide! 
Genocide!! 
Genocide!!!

The fox burrowed hole 
Underneath a place named humanitarian,
With a sly smile
Hid inside the burrowed hole
Listening to the chirps,
Genocide!
Genocide!!
Genocide!!!
