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
