Black Lives On A Parallel Earth

obama cameron sarkozy
bombed libya into the stone age
consequently since then black african migrants who went to work there
now are sold openly as slaves
obama will you pay them reparations
if not why not
antifa what is your position on this..

america uk and france
ten-thousand sorties over libya
many many thousands died
and yet and yet pin-drop silence
no marches
no banners
no empathy
even with the help of google maps most protesters could not find libya or somalia
have we seen on our teevee so much as one libyan weeping widow or orphan
grazed with a teardrop
they breed them tough over there ~ black bones do not crack over there
and let us not even mention yemen..

our great gift of democracy ~
misdescribing north africans escaping it
drowning in the mediterranean ~ all are rapefugees ~ nice ..

right now america is bombing somalia
and has been since dubya
dubya obama trump ~ pepsi or coke ~ it is what it was
that fourth-world country still a huge threat to empire
so those very black lives must continue to expire
american bombs are still dropping on them right now ~ right now
although you would not know it watching cnn or fox or the bbc
social justice for libyans and somalians does not seem to exist
is this silence for you also deafening
both the left and the right are united on this ~ no..

thus that american cop who took his own version of the knee
is not so dissimilar in spirit to his in-action military
the american military is also very multi-cultural
those fighter pilots dropping bombs on people throwing rocks
attacking raytheon drones
are black brown and white
male and female
but they are just doing their job so that is alright..

perhaps on a parallel earth somalian and libyan bombed  black lives really do matter
but not on this one
not for anyone..
