Following is some of my poetry from the Militant Black Rhymes Collection. I will be posting more in the near future. As for my new material, I will not be posting any of that right now. My plan is to release Warrior On The Rooftop: A Tribute to Mark Essex in the middle of February. It's not going to be like the perfect bound books that you find in bookstores and libraries; oh Hell No! It's going to be straight grassroots and when I say grassroots, I mean put together as is.
My next publication is not going to have a glossy cover or carry the name of some big publishing company. That's grassroots! My next work is coming straight from the heart; untouched, uncorrupted and uncompromising. Warrior On The Rooftop will be on the offensive and guaranteed to piss off many people. Keep on the look out for this one, which will cost you $5.00 of course. As the release date gets closer, I will give more details about the Warrior On The Rooftop. 2006 will definately be a year to remember.

State of Dis-Union Address
The Democrats certainly upstaged Bush tonight. When he spoke of Congress' failure to pass the Social Security reform bill, the Democrats gave a standing ovation. It was clear that Bush was rattled; you could clearly see it in his face. I just love it. Bush spoke of imposing democracy on the world. He also spoke of spying in America. Overall, he spoke a bunch of bullshit and doublespeak. That's what we should expect from this president, who is a gangster, a murderer, a rapist, a drunk, a drug addict and a terrorist. He needs to take his medication and go back to Crawford, Texas.
Damn, he got the nerve to bring up New Orleans. The city he abandoned because he had better things to do, like tend to his vacation and play his guitar. What a bunch of balony!!!

Lazy/Why Are You Here Coworkers
I can't stand lazy coworkers. I can't stand fellow employees who just sit on their asses all day and get paid for doing nothing. Sure they send emails and bitch about what is wrong, but never offer to come down into the trenches and help out. They never volunteer to help out, but they always volunteer to criticize and "make changes" to the process.
I don't know about you, but what is the point of going to meetings to discuss the same problems that were discussed the last 2 years? Nothing is done to resolve the problems. Where I work, it's just an utter disgrace. The big wigs who are making all the money don't know how many contracts the company has nor do they know the performance guarantees of those contracts. What the hell kind of company is this. If the businesses really knew how incompetent the people are in the company I work for, then they would terminate their contracts immediately. Unless the people who awarded the contracts are morons themselves.
Sometimes, don't it just burn you up when you see people who do nothing get rewarded; get praised. They take the credit for work that they did not do. I just want to see them fall flat on their faces. I want the auditors to come in and then I want to see all the big wigs panic. I want them to suffer as they have caused the suffering of many. When they're afflicted, they got just what they deserved.

Impeach This Idiot
Wow! What does it take? Bush lied about 9/11. Bush lied to get America into a war with Iraq. Now Bush authorized NSA spying on the American people without getting a warrant from the courts. What next? The Bush Crime Family are gangsters and they run the government of the United States. It's that simple. Former President Bill Clinton lied about getting a blow job from a "whore" house intern and articles of impeachment were drawn up against him. Bush has done much much worse and it is simply blown up under the rug.
We really see how democracy works. If you have the money, you get the benefits of democracy. But democracy for the little guy is an illusion, a fantasy. Why don't they just be real with it and say, "We don't give a damn about you. It's about the rich getting what they want and that's the bottom line!" Hell, at least they're being honest with it and not a bunch of hypocrites.
But we all know that fuhrer Bush will continue to remain in power at the behest of his cronies and his bosses. Democracy is dead, or at least what the people thought was democracy. Stick to the illusion that Bush will bring prosperity and peace to the world. Bush will go down in history as the man who hepled to lead America to her downfall.

'ALL THE NEWS....?'
==================
[Col. Writ. 12/1/05] Copyright '05 Mumia Abu-Jamal
In the wake of this wretched war, we have more than enough reason to look, with jaundiced eye, at the American major media.
The adjectives that have been used to describe their performance, in the face of fake 'evidence', scare tactics, and global state terrorism against the poor and the weak; and their abject servitude to the centers of political and economic power, have been terms like supine, servile, and genuflective.
The corporate media became an instrument through which the White House worked its way upon the public, threatening dissidents, locking up innocents, threatening other countries, all in pursuance of madness. The media, afraid of alienating its audiences, and more importantly, of upsetting government officials, opened its pages, its airwaves, and its microphones, serving only as amplifiers for the State.
Few mainstream papers have the heft and influence of the *New York Times*, yet, even there, their star reporter became little more than a stenographer for the neocons at the highest levels of power. They served, not the interest of their readers, nor their children, but of power.
Remember the spectacle of a vampirish Vice President Dick Cheney, citing the *Times*, of all sources, in support of his claims of WMDs? Now, trapped by the very real threat of Civil War, US politicians find themselves pinned to the wall, like monarch butterflies, forced to support the unsupportable. Now, comes word of secret prisons, in the lands of the former Soviet Union, run by the CIA, where God knows what is being done to people, in the name of a nebulous 'war on terror.'
Does anybody really believe that American forces aren't engaged in torture? The new US-appointed regime in Iraq has learned well the lessons of its American paymasters. In the shadow of Abu Ghraib, dozens of Sunnis are tortured, and caged in secret prisons! What, pray tell, are the Americans to say? "Don't do as we do?"
We've virtually forgotten the case of Chinese-American Muslim chaplain, James Yee. New Jersey-born, a West Point graduate, it was during his former tour in Saudi Arabia that he learned about Islam, where he was intrigued by the cultural diversity. For complaining about the treatment that he saw and heard at Guantanamo Bay naval station, he found himself labeled, and soon treated, as an "enemy combatant", charged with espionage, and called a "known terrorist sympathizer."
He was put in the 'three-piece suit': shackled hands, feet, and belly. He was thrown into solitary confinement (See his book: *For God and Country: Faith and Patriotism Under Fire*, by James Yee (with Aimee Molloy) (publ., Political Affairs).) He was in solitary for 76 days, before charges were dropped.
All of this comes back to the role of the press. It either serves the interests of freedom, or it serves the interests of Empire. It can't serve both. It is doing the reporting now, that should've been done before the outbreak of war. Most reporters knew that there was absolutely no link between 9/11 and Iraq. Most reporters knew, if they'd done their research, that there was absolutely no connection between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden. Yet, through fear or the ingrained instinct to serve power, they allowed the Bush Regime to 'let slip the dogs of war.'
Unless I miss my guess, it will be plenty of years before we really see the end of this adventure. That's because it will be many years before things will even begin to quiet down in Iraq. Perhaps 100,000 Iraqis have been killed, many by the US Army and Air Forces. Over 2,000 Americans have died. Billions of dollars have been wasted, or ripped off by corrupt Iraqi politicians, or American corporations. And Americans have done little more than stoked the fires of anti-American hatred throughout the region. Recently, the Muslim Brotherhood, a staunch opponent of the Mubarak Regime in Egypt, won over five times their previous seats in Parliament. Islamicist parties are stronger than ever in the Muslim world, largely as a direct reaction to the US invasion of Iraq.
The media could've prevented much of this, if it only had done its job.

Mumia Abu-Jamal
He is a man that I really admire; he's a genius! He's brilliant. His incarceration and sitting on death row has nothing to do with killing a cop. He didn't do it!!! Brother Mumia is a true Black Revolutionary. I will post some of his witings because they are critical in this day and age. What Mumia writes speaks for itself. So get ready for the ride. In Free Speech Blazing, I post the stuff that the majority don't like.
New Year's Expectations
We have finally reached the year 2006 and I see this as a great year for socially conscious and revolutionary hip hop. All that other garbage that we hear on the radio will continue, but there will be more yearning for music that has substance, creativity and originality. That sexist and materialistic gangsta garbage has got to go. The days of ignorance being rewarded must cease. It's time for the Old School to bring back discipline and order.
Outside of that, there will be more Bush administration scandals being exposed. How many crimes do a president have to be caught up in before his ass gets impeached? From lying to take a this country to war against Iraq to spying on American citizens without even getting a warrant from the courts, what the hell does it take? I believe 2006 will also be a year where the U.S. will work to be more totalitarian like the Nazi's Third Reich. Fascism is alive and well in America.
In addition, Bush should be impeached for the way he let all those people die in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. That was systematic genocide which took place down in New Orleans. I do believe that FEMA breached the levee which flooded the 9th ward.
On a more positive note, doing for self will be rewarded for those of our people who are going to sever the ties with the devil. For whitey, 2006 will be a horribly tragic year for them. The devil is going to suffer great loss and pain.

I Got A Question
Do Black people live in states like Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota? I am not talking about the athletes who attends the Universities in those states. Do Black folks live in Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine or Utah? I am just curious because I never hear about Black people living their daily lives and going about their business. You don't necessarily hear our people "representin" one of the cardinal sides of those states, i.e. the Eastside or Westside.
I can see it now, Boo Boo grew up in the mean wilderness of Montana. He had beefs with the Caribou Gansgsters who was slangin dung on his side of the woods. I'll stop here because now I am really getting carried away with this.

Dumb Ass Bosses
Why do the dumb assed ones get the promotions and raises? Why is it those people who don't have a f^cking clue as to what's going on getting advancement? We get a new manager or director for our department and she comes through the door just f*cking sh!t up and making the situation worse. How does a company hire people who do not know the basics? Much less have any freakin' commonsense at all? Lets put it this way, if it were not for employees like ourselves, who knows how run the sh!t right, but they would rather pay some asshole(s) hundreds of thousands of dollars per year to sit on their trifelin', slack, lazy asses and do nothing, but send emails all day long. These are the same people who review and make decisions on cases that they don't know how to investigate, much less find in the system. What the hell is wrong with these people?
When it's who you know and not what you know, it's easy to see how f*cked up the situation really is. These are the same people who bitch about you doing overtime or give you all kinds of excuses justifying why they cannot give you a raise. However, they can hire four new managers and a director and pay them all this money, but at the same time, give you hell when you ask for a $2 or $3 per hour raise for doing all of their work. That sh!t ain't right!!!
In my experience(s) in the job market, I've never worked at a place that has so many managers who is managing no one at all. Why the f^ck would you hire one manager to manage 2 mangers? Who in turn manages no one? What kind of since does that make? Too many chiefs and not enough Indians. There is just too many cooks in the kitchen, but yet there's no one to serve the food. A lot of matters in the workplace can be fixed with a little commonsense, but when the solution is too simple, these dumb muthaf^ckas have to make a mountain out of a mowhill. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy what I do; however, it's dumb ass bosses like the one that I have, which turns a simple matter into complex bullshit. In other words, they turn simple addition and subtraction into the quadratic equation. Now my immediate supervisor is really cool. We're on the exact same page
Another question I have: How many of you out there have a boss that's a drunk? A drug addict? Or a boss who's in therapy and popping pills like candy? Now this is a whole new can of worms. Oneday, I'll take a look at that crazy and deranged coworker who is most likely to shoot up the job. I see a few in the office I work in and I'm sure you do too. This is one issue I will definately touch upon because you never know what that fool in the next cubicle over is thinking.

Dumb Ass Co-Workers
This is an issue that needs further discussion. I work for a company that has some of the dumbest assed people I've ever encountered. It's one thing if they were found in the low level positions throughout the company, however, that is not the case in today's corporate world. The managers, the directors and the VP's don't have a clue themselves.
Have you ever worked for a company that will hire any old dumb ass that's available? Pay them a high assed salary? And gives them praise for a job well done? What??? I have an up close and personal view of the bullshit that's being passed off as great work.
It's bad enough that people don't even read the notes in the system, much less the correspondence sent in by both members and providers. Yes, I work in the area of mental health. It's the insurance side of this wall and I have never seen so many stupid people with degrees in one place. Almost damn everybody at work is a freakin' manager for one. If the VP of Quality Improvement gives an assignment to the Director to complete, it is them passed off to Manager, who passes the work to one of us subordinates on the bottom. You see what I mean? Work is delegated right down to the bottom, where we are overworked, overlooked, underpaid and under appreciated. If it wasn't for people like us who do the grunt work, all these people on the top would shit on themselves. And I love to see them sweat, especially when the auditors show up and they cannot find the files.
I would put the company on blast that I work for, however, I cannot do that at the moment. Nowadays, you never know who's reading what you post. Anyway, I will have more on this subject and I promise to let it all hang out. Another issue we need to bring up is the hiring of friends and family members in the workplace. Nepetism/Favoritism in the job market has been a total disaster. I understand hiring a friend or family member if they come into the job willing to learn and work. On the otherhand, if they come in to lolligag and put their hands up their asses all day everyday, it makes you wonder why there is so much incompetence on the job. And just imagine how bullshit like this is widespread throughout state/federal government, in health care, insurance and the private sector for that matter.
Don't worry, I'll be talking about more of this in the future. If your feelings were hurt in the process of reading this, then you're the type of employee that I am talking about.
