 Poem here says, Comment No.1
 Uh, Comment No.2 is dynamite
 But Comment No.1 is the one we decided
 To use here this evening
 Because it makes a comment if you listen
 Closely on what is now being advertised
 In East Harlem as the "Rainbow Conspiracy" - a combination of
 The Students For A Democratic Society
 The Black Panthers, and the Young Lords
 And this is my particular comment about that conspiracy, "Comment No.1":
 The time is in the street you know
 Us living as we do upside down
 And the new word to have is revolution
 People don't even want to hear the preacher spill or spiel
 Because God's hole card has been thoroughly piqued
 And America is now blood and tears instead of milk and honey
 The youngsters who were programmed
 To continue ******* up woke up one night
 Digging Paul Revere and Nat Turner as the good guys. America stripped
 For bed and we had not all yet closed our eyes. The signs of Truth
 Were tattooed across our often-entered vagina
 We learned to our amazement untold tale of scandal
 Two long centuries buried in the musty vault
 Hosed down daily with a gagging perfume
 America was a bastard the illegitimate daughter
 Of the mother country whose legs
 Were then spread around the world
 And a rapist known as freedom: free doom
 Democracy, liberty, and justice were
 Revolutionary code names that preceded
 The bubbling bubbling bubbling bubbling bubbling in the mother country's ******
 And behold a baby girl was born
 Nurtured by slave holders and whitey racists
 It grew and grew and grew screwing
 Indiscri****tely like mother, like daughter
 Everything unplagued by her madame mother
 The present mocks us, good Black people
 With keen memories set fire to the bastards
 Who ask us in a whisper to melt and integrate
 Young, very young, teeny
 Bopping revolt on weekend young dig
 By proxy what a mental ass kicking
 They receive through institutionalized everything
 And vomit up slogans to stay out of Vietnam
 They seek to hide their relationship with the world's **********
 Alienating themselves from everything
 Except dirt and money with long hair, grime, and ****
 To camo-hide the things that cannot be hidden
 They become runaway children to walk the streets downtown with everyday
 Black people sitting on the curb
 Crying because we know that they will go back
 Home with a clear conscience and a college degree
 The irony of it all, of course
 Is when a pale face SDS ************ dares
 Look hurt when I tell him to go find his own revolution
 He wonders why I tell him that America's revolution
 Will not be the melting pot but the toilet bowl
 He is fighting for legalized smoke, or lower voting age
 Less lip from his generation gap and ******* in the street
 Where is my parallel to that?
 All I want is a good home and a wife and a children
 And some food to feed them every night
 Back goes pale face to basics
 Does Little Orphan Annie have a natural?
 Do Sluggo's kinks make him a refugee from Mandingo?
 What does Webster's say about soul?
 I say you silly chipe ************, your great grandfather
 Tied a ball and chain to my *****
 And bounced me through a cotton field
 While I lived in an unflushable toilet bowl
 And now you want me to help you overthrow what?
 The only Truth that can be delivered to a four year
 Revolutionary with a whole card  skin is this:
 **** up what you can in the name of
 Piggy Wallace, ****less Nixon, and Spiro Agnew
 Leave brother Cleaver and Brother Malcolm alone please
 After all is said and done build a new route to China if they'll have you
 Who will survive in America? Who will survive in America?
 Who will survive in America? Who will survive in America?编辑于2023/12/30更新
