Parable of the Poor Righteous Teacher
for Haki Madhubuti (Don L. Lee)
Sooner or later, they always come for the teacher. After all, the more popular, the more dangerous. The more
serious and sincere, the more a threat to the bourgeoisie whose
philosophy is do nothing, say nothing, know nothing. Thus, the serious
teacher has no seat at the table. Yes, he is tolerated for a time, maybe
a long time, but the plot was hatched the first day he arrived to
teach, when the contract was signed, his doom was sealed.
Nomatter what chairs he established, no matter how many institutions he
created in the name of God. The bourgeoisie care nothing for God, only
as a cover for their filthy behavior in the dark, their winking and
blinking at the water hole.
The teacher must know absolutely ifhe is on his job he won't have a job, for no matter how many years he
gives of his soul, his mental genius, he is not wanted. No matter how
many students he is able to raise from the box, his services are not
wanted.
The bourgeoisie do not want Jack out of the box, thismust be understood. They prefer Jack and Jackie stay confined and proscribed in the box of ignorance. They are mere pawns in the game of chance the bourgeoisie play until they are removed from power, after
they steal all they can, when the coffers are empty, the institution
bankrupt and they are under indictment.
They will never putdown their butcher knives, never turn into Buddha heads. This is why
one must practice eternal vigilance with them. They are planning and
plotting the demise of the poor righteous teachers at every turn.
Sothe teacher must teach his students about power, but when he does, his
exit papers are signed. He may not know this. He may believe he has
friends on the board of trustees, but he is only fooling himself. He is a
starry eyed idealist, a dreamer, who shall be awakened from his dream
one day for sure. And on that day he shall find his office door locked.
His classroom door secured by a guard. His students transferred to other
colleagues he thought were with him. But they will only say to him,
"Sorry, brother."
