Brother Marvin,

I'm reading your poem today at the Malcolm X & Islam Today event this afternoon at the Schomburg. I think it hits the spot on what we want to discuss at the forum.

We can rest assure that Brother Malcolm is proud of you today... carrying on his legacy of revolutionary spirituality for resistance and struggle.

Can you imagine Michael Jordan seeking advice on basketball from a ping pong player, or Tiger Woods seeking advice on his golf swing from a rugby player, or Bill Gates seeking advice on technology from a Buddhist monk?

Even Hollywood, with all its creative energy, could not have come up with such a script. Even if they did, no one would believe them. They would be run out of town. But, what would you say if I told you of a real life story that seems just as ridicul

stars at window

move beyond space to better place
sun and time a dance moving the world
enough
talk to me right
no control no boss
no whip no

Mythology of Dick

The Mythology of Dick

The Dick and the Gun

In contrast to the Mythology of Pussy and the power therein, here we speak of the dick as the ultimate symbol and instrument of power, yet difficult to describe in its vicissitudes. Perhaps if we equate the dick with the gun, we can imagine its awesome power, for together they share the power of life and death. From them come the life and death of the breathing world. For sure, pussy has the power of life as well, although only of late ha

We have a new “Acting President”, after almost eighty days of delayed tactics, confusion,misinformation and misinterpretation, political chicanery, outright lies and criminaldeception, forgery, self interests over national interests, all culminating ina grand farce, such as has never happened in the history of Nigerian politics,and which, based on the repercussions and what we went through, Nigerians wouldwish and pray never happens again.

Everybody, every Nigerian, seem to heave a sigh of relief

Republicans continue to play a dangerous game of politics that may give them short term victory, but will ultimately destroy their brand and viability. They are allowing fellow Republicans to enter territory that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago.

Republicans would argue that they can’t “control” what others say and that people have the right to “freedom of speech.” All this is true, but there is such a thing as enabling a person to engage in destru
