(Dedicated to those who dare to speak the truth about Barack Obama)

Speak the Truth to the People

By Mari Evans

Speak the truth to the people

Talk sense to the people

Free them with honesty

Free the people with Love and Courage for their Being

Spare them the fantasy

Fantasy enslaves

A slave is enslaved

Can be enslaved by unwisdom

Can be re-enslaved while in flight from the enemy

Can be enslaved by his brother whom he loves

His brother whom he trusts whom he loves

His brother whom he trusts

His brother with the loud voice

And the unwisdom

Speak the truth to the people

It is not necessary to green the heart

Only to identify the enemy

It is not necessary to blow the mind

Only to free the mind

To identify the enemy is to free the mind

A free mind has no need to scream

A free mind is ready for other things

To BUILD black schools

To BUILD black children

To BUILD black minds

To BUILD black love

To BUILD black impregnability

To BUILD a strong black nation

To BUILD

Speak the truth to the people

Spare them the opium of devil-hate

They need no trips on honky-chants.

Move them instead to a BLACK ONENESS.

A black strength which will defend its own

Needing no cacophony of screams for activation

A black strength which will attack the laws

exposes the lies, disassembles the structure

and ravages the very foundation of evil.

Speak the truth to the people

To identify the enemy is to free the mind

Free the mind of the people

Speak to the mind of the people

Speak Truth

Wordmaster, AB, Gregory Hines once

Went on stage and kissed Sammy Davis’

Taps. If ever I get there, I’ll perform the

Poetic equivalent, because in my pantheon

Of Mingus, Miles, Max, Bird, Trane,

Wayne, Nina, Sass, Abbey, Jimmy

Baldwin, Richard Wright — You, AB,

Are the father, son and holy-ghost

Of us post-Langston, Sterling poets,

The syn-tactical surgeon who sutured

Our severed tongues, with precision

Pen and atomic tenor, real smart

Bombs we dropped in our war on

Black bourgeois, corporate-controlled,

Government-guided, attack-Negroes like

Uncle Roy, The Men of Steele, Shelby and

Michael, Long Dong Silver, AKA, Thom-Ass,

Clarence, Clarence Pendelton, Ward Connerly,

Colin Powell and them imperialist Rice wenches…

But, Poet, how’d you slip on Iceberg Slim?

How’d you start snarling, growling, guarding

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue like a junkyard dog,

Muzzling the “movement” and protecting the

Bagman transferring trillions to Wall Street,

War Profiteer, Pharma, Agribiz, Oil-igarch,

Insurance mobs, uh, Reagan redux on ‘roids?

Was it his cool “middle”-class mantra?

Or, ‘cause Slim didn’t come Superfly—

Gold-plated cane, fur coat, big hat, talkin’

Slick, like Tony and Goldie, ‘bout making his

Handlers so much money that their pockets

Would look like they have the mumps?

Poet, when didn’t you know it?

From the git, it smelled like a pack of

Senators wind-surfing on raw sewage,

With Candidate Slim huddling for bailout

Hanky-panky with Hank Paulson,

McCain and Osama Ben Bernanke…

Poet, when didn’t you know it?

No wait for a gate, when Slim kept

Warlord, Bomb Gates, on from W’s crew—

But, then there was Skippy-Gate,

Harvard Professor arrested in his

Home, then invited by Slim to the

Big House for beer with the arresting

Officer. We waited with bated breath,

Figurin’ as slick as Slim is, he jus’ might

Invite families of Sean Bell and Oscar

Grant for a Big House keg and concert:

Newt Gingrich Sings Gershwin, A cappella.

Poet, when didn’t you know it?

Iceberg made his bones first day on the job,

Whackin’ a couple Somalis—called them pirates.

Poet, when didn’t you know it?

Iceberg’s brass-balled triangulation, juggling

Three wars, picking up a peace prize, torpedoing

Copenhagen with “clean coal” and nukes: priceless.

Poet, when didn’t you know it?

Neon signs in Guantanamo’s windows flashing OPEN,

As Slim’s “surges,” and more drone strikes than eight

W years seem to scream, “Hey, Poet, judge me not by

The color of my skin, but by content of my character!”

Poet, when didn’t you know it?

Amerikkka’s a crime scene—

Yellow tape stretching Maine to Florida,

San Diego to Seattle, Great Lakes to Gulf,

Would a Warlock’s incantations one January

Morning, abracadabra, magically CHANGE it?

Poet, when didn’t you know it?

Reckon two decades of glorious struggle,

Mastering marches, mass meetings, sit-ins

Teach-ins, boycotts, picket lines, voter

Registration and armed self-defense, taught us

“If there is no struggle, there is no progress?”

Poet, you know it: criticism and self-criticism

From back in the day, when some of us toted

The Origin Of The Family, Private Property And The State

Like valuable vinyl, Sketches Of Spain, Kind Of Blue and

John Coltrane And Johnny Hartman, while waiting as you

Went through that kooky, Kawaida-Karengatang-thang,

Attacking Panthers and the revolutionary trend…

But, you came back!

Making Maoist mumbo-jumbo of the united front,

Confusing the revolutionary struggle for democracy,

But, you came back!

Yeah, Poet, I hoped, prayed and wished for a wet, cold

Wikileak, waking you from the Warlock’s spell, wrenching

You, snatching you from Iceberg Slim’s grip…

In his Prison Poems, Ho Chi Minh said, the

Poet must also know how to lead an attack—

Hurry, Poet, hurry, I’ve been waiting… for you!
