THATCH AND BLOOD:IN EARTH’S DEFENSE
Current mood: angry

WE WAS WOVE TOGETHER
SO LONG AGO
WHEN GREEN WAS A REALITY
WOVE TOGETHER
TOUGH TIED
WITH THE THATCH OF OUR BLOOD
TO SUSTAIN A LIBRARY
OF ANSWERS TO SHARE

AND FOR MUCH LATER ON

TO BE UP IN A STRANGE PLACE
AND LOOKED UPON WITH CRIMINAL INTENT
FOR CENTURIES AT A TIME
WE ARE LEFT WITH NOTHING TO LOSE

NO REP
NO ROYALTY

NO PURSUANCE
NO IRON

ONLY A SYSTEM OF ENVY
KNIFING THE HEART OF INDEPENDENT STUDY

CREATING SHAMELESS DIVERSIONS FOR
THE RECLAIMATION OF A SOUL

MAKING STRANGE THE NEW BLACK

WHILE OUR ELDERS ARE IN CHAINS

GETTING WORRIED BOUT THAT LIL' EXTRA
IS KILLING THE SOUL OF HUMANITY

I HAVE EXPENSIVE TASTE TOO

SITTING UP HERE CRAVING A REVOLUTION

I'M INTO REMEDY

INTO SELF DEFENSE



(EVEN IN A LAND WHERE THOSE WHO HAVE GONE FAR BEYOND THEMSELVES
TO SHARE A LIBRARY'S WORTH OF ANSWERS
ARE LOCKED UP ONE CENTURY AT A TIME)


WE ARE LOSING OUR PLANET

SHE FALLING OUT OF LOVE WITH WHAT'S HAPPENING TO US

USED TO PUT FRUIT WHEREVER OUR HEADS HAD LAID

PUT DOWN THERE SOME ORES MIRRORING GALAXIES FROM AFAR
WHEREVER GREAT INVENTORS DID DREAM

THE NEW STRANGE TURNED THIS WORLD TO A PLANTATION

TEACHING SEVEN GENERATIONS TO TAKE AND BE UNSATISTFIED

BABA KONKACHILA:

YOUR ARTWORK HAS BEEN ABUSED

MEND HER SO THAT SHE MAY PROSPER

IN MAGNIFYING YOUR WAY

FOR WE HAVE LOST OURS FOR SO LONG




JAH

SO LONG AGO

ON ACCOUNT OF THE SMUGGLED COLOMBIAN COKE CROPS

PROTECTED BY AMERICAN-BOUGHT

AUSTRIAN GLOCKS

IF THERE’S A HEART IN THE HOUSE TONIGHT: FREE THE MOVE 9
Current mood: confident
Category: Goals, Plans, Hopes

STAND UP!
THIS IS AN ACTION ALERT:

AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVEAL THE TRUE MEANING OF BEAUTY
IN THE FORM OF FREEDOM FIGHTING!

THE LETTERS THAT WE WRITE WILL BE THE SPIRITUAL MANIFESTATION
OF INI PRESENCE IN THAT COURTROOM ON FRONT STREET.

LIBATIONS WILL HELP TO SOOTHE THE ANXIETY IN THE BELLIES OF THESE ANGELS

WHO ADOPTED AFRICA AS THEIR SURNAMES
SO THAT THEY WOULD BE BORN AGAIN UNTO UNITY.

AND OUR PHONE CALLS
WILL BE THE WIND THAT IS NEEDED
TO PROPEL THE MIGHTY WINGS OF JUSTICE FOR THESE BEAUTIFUL SOULS

TERRORIZED BY BOMBS IN PHILLY
FOR BEING IN THE ACTIVE PURSUIT OF UPLIFTING OUR COMMUNITY HOLISTICALLY!

I BEG OF YOU! PLEASE WRITE, CALL ON THE PHONE AND UPON THE ANCESTORS FOR STRENGTH IN SOULS, AND ACT NOW!

UHURU!

(THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE HAS BEEN WRITTEN BY THE LOVING COURTESY OF MAMAZEN OF WWW.HANDS OFF ASSATA.ORG)

MOVE 9 Needs Letters & Calls Now!

Time Frame: 2 Months

Phil Africa says that the MOVE 9 can really use letters and calls to the PA
Parole Board this month and next [February & March]. Letters supporting their
release can make a big difference. The Board will be having a hearing in
April. After THIRTY years, our brothers and sisters are finally up for parole.
If not given probation this year, they may all be forced to serve another
SEVENTY. They have almost completed their minimum sentence [of the 30-100 year
sentence].

For supporters to brush up on the history of MOVE and the "MOVE 9," this
recent 45-minute talk by Ramona is great:

http://pittsburgh.indymedia.org/news/2007/08/27830.php

Purpose of Action;
This April parole hearing is SO important. Letters and calls to the Parole
Board now can really help. Phil is asking that folks send copies of their
letters to him. He wants to take a pile of copies of our letters to the hearing
as a show of public support.


What you should do now- Plan of Action

Letters and phone calls to the Board are needed NOW. Let's bring 'em HOME.
30 years is too much already, 70 more is unthinkable!!

It is probably a good idea for folks to send letters to each of the nine
Board members. The chairperson was appointed by Ed "1985 Bomber" Rendell so
don't count on her getting your message to the whole Board. Their individual
names are on this web page:

http://www.pbpp.state.pa.us/pbppinfo...4178&pbppNav=|

Letters can all be sent to this address:

[name of Board member]
Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole
1101 South Front Street, Suite 5100
Harrisburg, PA 17104-2517
tel: (717) 787-5699


Please send copies of the letters to Phil at:

William Phillips Africa AM-4984
SCI-Dallas
1000 Follies Rd.
Dallas, PA 18612



Goal:
Let's bring them home where they belong in August 2008!

ANUK SELASSIE: I NATURE
Current mood: AWAKENING

WE MUST REFUSE TO WILLFULLY RE-ADJUST TO SLAVERY

WE MUST REFUSE TO BE USED TO BEING NOOSED

AND IF IT TAKE AN A.K.

I WANNA REFUSE AS A WOMAN

WAR IS POST-BIRTH ABORTION

WOULDN'T LOAD A CLIP FOR A FORTUNE

BUT MY FREEDOM AINT FOR BORROWED

AND SO WITH THIS FEATHER JUSTICE SHALL BE SERVED

CONSUMING ALL MADNESS

NEVER TO START AGAIN

majira ya

majira ya baridi

water embraces plantlife

crystalizing in the winter

forging asagai

from humble blades of grass

as the creation of life sings

through metallic timbre

i realize that i do the same

shoot

mo majira for me

ya machipuko for the grief

is joy exploding through the earth

growing wild in the discovery of ourselves

so that together we may be the living remix

in spring's reality of clean

magira o

a bell for you

magira moving on

and though we were hard to satisfy

magira moving on

a planet for ya

we get what we ask for

freeing some

killing others

but kiangazi is free

i get to dream of home

sky - father searches me

with his water paint

drawing out our legacy in plain view

and it keeps me believing in You

magira

free all

magira o

metamorphose

it's good to change for the better

ya majani kupukukika

i was born right here

proud as a mug to believe in tomorrow's seedlings

they are also known as missiles of love

alive

and ready to hug the water once more

magira o

change is necessary

ya

magira yah

and somehow

i find a small path

one that leads me up stairs

with time to meditate

it was clear as day to me

and the kind guide was there to greet me

offering me walls smothered with saffron

to sit amongst

(faith keeps me alive)

(prayer keeps me from otherwise)

AND AS MY SOUL DID SUBMIT:

MY HEART SANG FREE AS A LAMB

BEATING FORMATIONS WITH THIS DRUM

MADE VIGILANT AND MIGHTY FOREVER

FOR LOVE SHALL CALL ON ALL HEARTS AT NATION TIME

CHANTING FIERCE AS THE ONSET OF ANKH I VISION PROGRAM

THIS WAS MADE CLEAR IN THE MOMENT I HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO CRAMP I STYLE

WITH BLESSING THE GROUNDS OF CREATION
FROM ONE KNEE TO ANOTHER IN GRATITUDE



FOR ALL THE SEASONS WE SHARE

IN JAH.

DOCTOR MAX ROACH: YOU FEARLESS PIONEER
Current mood: grateful
Category: Life

RAISED A HAND

IN THE WORLD CLASS

STRIKING METAL DISCS FOR US AFRICANS

IN A TIME OF INSTITUTIONALIZED ENVY

THE ANNOINTING COULD NOT BE REMOVED

CAUGHT OUR DREAMS IN HIS SNARE

CYMBALS SPILLING OUT ANDINKRA IN AUDIO

AND WHO COULD FORGET

THAT VIGILANT COWBELL IN HIS SET

TRIPPIN FOR EQUALITY

TO RING IN THE FEET OF THE WEARY

WHAT BETTER ELEMENT TO CARRY SOUND

THAN AIR

THAT WHICH CARRIES LIGHT UNTO ITSELF

LIVES FOR AN ETERNITY OF HEART BEATS TO COME

SO FLY ON, DOCTOR ROACH!

YOU MADE THE AIR SOUND GOOD.

JENA:I WANT FREEDOM FOR MY BABIES
Current mood: embarrassed
Category: News and Politics

FOR LOUISIANA

HAS ALREADY BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH

BLACK KIDS REMOVING THE ILLUSIONS OF A SEPARATE REALITY

BY SITTING EVER SO PEACEFULLY UNDER A TREE

SPRUNG FROM PURE EARTH FOR ALL OF US TO SHARE IN JENA TOWN

WHERE THEY TOO WERE BORN AND RAISED

AND SET FREE TO FLY ON AWAY FROM HOME

TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW TO BRING BACK HOME



THE SERPENT MAKES AN APPEARANCE

TO DETER ALL NATURAL ESTEEM

BY WAGGING IT'S TOUNGUE BOUT SUPREMACY

TO TRUSTING MINDS THAT FOLLOW ORDERS

HISSING IT'S WAY THROUGH INNOCENT HANDS TO KNOT ROPES INTO NOOSES

FOR THE ONES WHO SAT

UNDER A SUPPOSED "WHITE" TREE

IN 2007

AND LOVED AHEAD OF THIER TIME



AND JUST BECAUSE THEY WAS TAUGHT TO HIT BACK HARDER WHEN HIT

DON'T MEAN THEY BELONG IN JOO-VEE

AND IT DON'T MEAN THAT THEY WAS WRONG TO FIGHT NEITHER

MEANS THAT WE FORGOT WE WAS EVERYBODY

BLACK COUSINS IN A WORLD WHERE WE NEED EACH OTHER

AND FRIENDS WHO GOT THEY ARMS FOLDED IN A JURY

AS THE OVERGROWTH OF FEAR AND DESPAIR

CHOKES THE LITTLE LIGHTS SENT HERE TO MAKE IT RIGHT

I-N-I WANT A JUSTICE SO STRONG WITHIN

YET OUR HANDS BLEED WITH RAGE BEFORE WE BEGIN

SEND A HEALING RAY TO JENA-TOWN RIGHT NOW

SEND A HEALING RAY OF LOVE TO JENA RIGHT NOW

SEND A LETTER TO SOME CHILDREN FREEDOM FIGHTING RIGHT NOW

(JENA6DEFENSE@GMAIL.COM)

SO WE CAN WALK TOGETHER REUNITED LONG WAYS FROM NOW


THOUGH I RECOGNIZE THE MASTER PLAN

SOME THINGS JUST DON'T FEEL RIGHT

LIKE SIX CHILDREN DOING HEAVY JAIL TIME

FOR SITTING UP UNDER A TREE

BUT ALSO TO STRIVE
FOR CREATING A LIFE OF PEACE WITHIN

O 'BA: IF I HAD A JEDI ROBE
Current mood: AIR INDUCED EUPHORIA

I'D WEAR IT IN THE MORNING

AND FEEL THE SPRING IN MY BACK

BLOOM OUT OF OUR MOUTHS

I WOULD GIVE YOU THE WORLD YOU WISH TO LIVE IN

JUST FOR THE ASKING.

SHOOTING STARS WOULD BECOME MY COMRADES

IN PRAYER

AND THE UHURU THAT I LONG FOR

WOULD BE BUT A GLIMMER IN YOUR EYE

AN OBSOLETE REQUEST

OF A LOVING PEOPLE

I LISTENED HARDER THAN EVER BEFORE

SAID I SAT MY BLUNT DOWN
WHILE I BEEN GONE

LEFT IT THERE FOR GOOD

AS A DOWN PAYMENT FOR MY JEDI ROBE

AND IT IS NOT IN VAIN

I CLOSE MY EYES

AS ALL OF MY HEART'S QUESTIONS

ARE MADE INSTANTLY

AWARE

OF YOUR CLOTH

CINCO CHE MAYO: HANDS ARE FOR HELPING
Current mood: IN PRAYER
Category: IN PRAYER Goals, Plans, Hopes

ON THIS DAY OF POWER

I ASK MY FAMILY:

MUST WE WAIT FOR GEORGE BUSH TO
SIGN OUR LIVES BACK TO US

IN ORDER TO STOP FIGHTING EACH OTHER

OR MUST WE HAVE TO MATURE INTO KILLERS
TO DEFEND COLUMBUS

PAYING SO DEARLY
WITH THE DREAMS OF OUR CHILDREN


I ASK JUST AS AN ALARM IS MEANT TO NOTIFY

TO REMIND US OF THE WORLD
THAT A TRUE SOUL CAN EXCEED IN PROVIDING FOR A CHILD'S SOARING IMAGINATION

SAY IT AIN'T SO
AT YOUR OWN RISK

FOR THE GOOD OF ALL LIVING THINGS

MUST WE PAY SO DEARLY

MUST IT BE AN INVISIBLE SHAME

WHEN THESE ANGELS ARE STOLEN
FROM RIGHT UNDER OUR ARMS REACH

BLOWN AWAY IN WAR TODAY

MUST WE WAIT UNTIL WE'VE DIED
IN ORDER TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT OUR IGNORANCE.

OR MUST WE TILL OUR CHARACTER
WORK EACH DAY TO LOVE EACH OTHER
STAY GRINDING FOR THE GOOD
AND FIND THE SWEETEST TRUTH TO SMELL

BY VOWING TO WALK IN PEACE

ON THIS DAY OF POWER

MAY WE BE IT
