It is essential that Summer be grafted to

bones marrow earth clouds blood the

eyes of our ancestors.

It is essential to smell the beginning

words where Washington, Madison, Hamilton,

Adams, Jefferson assembled amid cries of:

      "The people lack of information"

      "We grow more and more skeptical"

      "This Constitution is a triple-headed monster"

      "Blacks are property"

It is essential to remember how cold the sun

how warm the snow snapping

around the ragged feet of soldiers and slaves.

It is essential to string the sky

with the saliva of Slavs and  

Germans and Anglos and French

and Italians and Scandinavians,

and Spaniards and Mexicans and Poles

and Africans and Native Americans.

It is essential that we always repeat:

                          we the people,

                          we the people,

                          we the people.

2.

"Let us go into the fields" one

brother told the other brother. And

the sound of exact death

raising tombs across the centuries.

Across the oceans. Across the land.

It is essential that we finally understand:

this is the time for the creative

human being  

the human being who decides

to talk upright in a human

fashion in order to save this

earth from extinction.

This is the time for the creative

Man. Woman. Who must decide

that She. He. Can live in peace.

Racial and sexual justice on

this earth.

This is the time for you and me.

African American. Whites. Latinos.

Gays. Asians. Jews. Native

Americans. Lesbians. Muslims.

All of us must finally bury

the elitism of race superiority

the elitism of sexual superiority

the elitism of economic superiority

the elitism of religious superiority.  

So we welcome you on the celebration

of 218 years Philadelphia. America.

So we salute you and say:

Come, come, come, move out into this world

nourish your lives with a

spirituality that allows us to respect

each other's birth.

come, come, come, nourish the world where

every 3 days 120,000 children die

of starvation or the effects of starvation;

come, come, come, nourish the world

where we will no longer hear the

screams and cries of womens, girls,

and children in Bosnia, El Salvador,

Rwanda...AhAhAhAh AHAHA

      Ma-ma. Dada. Mamacita. Baba.

      Mama. Papa. Momma. Poppi.

      The soldiers are marching in the streets

      near the hospitals but the nurses say

      we are safe and the soldiers are

      laughing marching firing calling

      out to us i don't want to die i

      am only 9 yrs old, i am only 10 yrs old

      i am only 11 yrs old and i cannot

      get out of the bed because they have cut

      off one of my legs and i hear the soldiers

      coming toward our rooms and i hear

      the screams and the children are

      running out of the room i can't get out

      of the bed i don't want to die Don't

      let me die Rwanda. America. United

      Nations. Don't let me die

And if we nourish ourselves, our communities

our countries and say

      no more hiroshima

      no more auschwitz

      no more wounded knee

      no more middle passage

      no more slavery

      no more Bosnia

      no more Rwanda

No more intoxicating ideas of

racial superiority

as we walk toward abundance

we will never forget

      the earth

      the sea

      the children

      the people

For we the people will always be arriving

a ceremony of thunder

waking up the earth

opening our eyes to human

monuments.

   And it'll get better

   it'll get better

if we the people work, organize, resist,

come together for peace, racial, social

and sexual justice

 it'll get better

 it'll get better.
