separation.desperation

separation is an illusion

an allusion to the past

of the colonies

of the takeover

of the perceived superiority

of the hetero

christian

rich

white

man

but there is no separation

no one is free

until we all are free

and so you continually enslave yourself

when you speak of your superiority

over any other

the coloured man that has tasted bitter oppression

uses that same tongue to call women bitches

keep enslaving yourself

the homosexual man who has won the fight with AIDS in his own country

looking down on Africans suffering

saying they deserve it

those fucking breeders

keep enslaving yourself

the poor man grown rich

extols the virtues of capitalism

that system that suffocated his family and lead to his suffering

keep enslaving yourself

the christian who in the same breath speaks of the love of God

and the fiery pits of hell reserved for those who do not believe

an intolerance of the grandest nature

keep enslaving yourself

the woman who fights everyday to make it in this world

and then turns around to her fellow sister

and calls her a slut

keep enslaving yourself

keep judging others

keep enslaving yourself…
