Love eats away your death – a poem for Assata
Julia Wright
you are the Mother
of all ancestors
you let us know
our dead
as many as they are
have lost their shackles
and
though we weep
we can let them sleep
you reminded us
that the living
those still chained
throughout the darkened dungeons
need all our energy
because they are alive
and
can still be saved
from tortuous pain
but you –
you are alive
in our hearts
but you –
you walk at our side
but you –
you whisper to us
that just as Love
eats away
all bars,
Love
eats away
your death

Who are the blind ones ? – a poem by #JuliaWright
if we do not protest
Mumia will go physically blind
but who are those whose blindness
is beyond surgery ?
the corporate press
is paid to be blind
to Mumia’s upcoming blindness
the white terror-ists
are blind to the fact
that each time they attack us
they offer us a platform
to speak back
the corrupt police state
cannot see the house
they live in
is made of glass
Judge Lucretia Clemons
and the DA
threw away the spectacles
that would have enabled them
to read
the writing on Truth’s wall
so who are the blind ones ?
those whose dark spiritless vision
the diagnosis of History
has no further treatment for
