Dig deep be strong
Departure from the methodical
After the laughter there'll be tears
The battle isn't done yet
It's not just all detritus
Perhaps we need to be asking a different question
Feeling numbness
Haven't found the right treatment yet
Haven't recognised the cause yet
They're not your people
no
it's not because we're from there
we're not there, their, or they're
People continuously rejected
Wrongness at a distance
Imposed space where true nature is lost
Still in search
Using all the tools at your disposal
but this shed leaks
and everything is rusty
Bringing together what you know
of your savage mind
The materials are no longer ours
Once we knew the particles
make it concrete
I'm extremely lucky to be here
and I AM here
Statuesque
Find the particulates of each grain
Not knowing how it works is killing us
Each icon is making you
Trillions of simultaneous interactions becoming you
Broken something inside
Its a dangerous path through the shadows of memory
Try to find the face you had
before your parents were born
Stories from the nerve bible
Who is looking into who's eyes?
It is the black hole which drives everything
Violent voices
the all consuming black hole
Forgiveness
Terrified and happy
Be your imagination
A beginning that hasn't begun to begin
You gotta believe in it
Fully, unequivocally, and attend to every detail
Now the real work begins
Language is the virus
Which representatives talk for you?
Which ones are allowed?
Belonging equals empathy
Integrate the pain
The interview process must be more honest
Are these people being honest?
What do they really deserve?
Unseen representations
Does being blinded really help?
Open that eye and stare at it.
Take back my power, leave a sacrificial flower.
I am the sanitised post-colonial subject.
Put a DONK on it!
The massacre has consequences for everyone.
Scrambling the inert pathways.
Allow some dark in.
The mystery of a sun bleached branch.
The mystery of an elephant's face.
The mystery of a monkey's brain.
The mystery of an Adorn'oed bull.
Standardised deity.
I'll know it after I see it.
mise-en-scene of my self-ie
Perfect bunch of tulips on the train
Sunshine over a rural horizon,
island light, mazy grayness,
plumes of cold air gathering
condensation on a slippy cobble.
The spaces of change are professional
the depths of the soul are in a funding bid
Whose sounds are you stealing now?
Whose marginality do you claim?
Do you really wanna know?
What are the consequences of these possible solutions?
A subconscious staring into the sink.
How do we keep it up
when the promise is continually being taken away.
How can you deal with having done this again?
CESAIRE - ...and I say that between colonization and civilization is an infinite distance
Alone in a field
with a chopping board full of drugs
World leading but never for those who need it most.
Spread it round, pass it round
HOOKS - ... the tragedy of any kind of prejudicial thinking
is that when we confront the circumstance that tells us it's
not so, we frequently don;t enlarge our sense of things, we actually come
up with new ways to protect that way of thinking.
PANDEY - Such violence was also, in this view, the inevitable product of age old
animosities and of deep-seated savagery: it was a boiling over, the periodic expression
of peoples unable to help their own barbarity.
Paradies is something you carry with you.
Allow the light in.
Application and the practice of...
Gosh.
Now we think in slogans.
Be enthusiastic.
Walking through a muddy field
Unconscious in the sink.
Just passing it round.
BADMASH
SUS
Fair but tough.
New layers of alien.
Tactics as old as colonialism.
HALL - 'I am the sugar at the bottom of the English tea cup ...
there are thousands of others beside me that are, you know, the cup of tea itself.
Because they don't grow it in Lancashire you know.'
I learnt it in a month.
