his flesh
not even to himself—
sees the kite,
my kite you made, flying up
above
and thinks for a moment an angel is there
bringing back love
If I must die
let it bring hope
let it be a tale.
If I must die,
you must live
to tell my story
to sell my things
to buy a piece of cloth
and some strings,
(make it white with a long tail)
so that a child, somewhere in Gaza
while looking heaven in the eye
awaiting his dad who left in a blaze—
and bid no one farewell
not even to

Black folks are not demanding reparations from white folks.
The demand is for the United States government, whose economy was built on labor of enslaved people, whose laws allowed Black codes, Jim Crow, and Redlining, to repay that debt.
Reparations aren’t divisive, they’re about repairing communities.
Reparations will be a step towards healing.
@jacksonhinkle Considering that you just turned into a crypto fascist, who supports Russia even though they are a right wing authoritarian capitalist dystopic oligarchy, and that you seem to not support any of the egalitarian, democratic, and freedom principles of Marx or the left... stfup.
@prageru The faces of those indigenous people raped and murdered by right wing colonialists and imperialists... you know, the same people you idolize for their ruthless white supremacy.
