Integrity
System
is brutal
Cunningly
fruitful
With
money supplied the rich
Which
dehumanizes society
By
rich getting richer
And
more getting poorer
As
we descend into horror
Money
now god
Thus
do we trod
With
money sublime
To
end of line
When
system humanity decline
Our
god now gone
A
new chance for sanity
The
end of hostility
And
return of integrity

No Hope
America
With
being not aggressive
Hegemonic
global nation
Pretending
to be location
For
democracy
Deeply
locked in slavery
While
nations clearly see
Beyond
Concealed
by money
Motivating
religiosity
And
lust for war
Eight
centuries Brit imperialism
Ruled
emergency nations
Until
it declined
To
define
Meaning
of swine
How
did this tragedy begin
And
how and when
Will
it end
Perhaps
we can begin again
On
higher ground
So
stay around
When
you can
For
this will be a higher plan
Beyond
democracy

Ashamed
I
am ashamed of
The
incredible built war machine
At
expense of peace
With
billions of people hungry
Poor
sick without help
Without
end on war
Currently
destroying
But
more attacks to come
While
its economy declines
With
all that means
I
feel ashamed of
There
is no place to hide
From
shame

Nothing Matters
Does
not matter whose face
We
are up against a rock or no place
When
we run a race
That
has endless space
In
this feckless universe
Without
blessing without curse
Matters
not which comes first

Dumb
Americans
dumbed down
There
is no turning around
They
have no sense of common ground
Only
rich powerful say
Is
their way
Which
means rich powerful society
Without
love and piety
Just
live and die for money
Structured
for ruling class
Made
rich by toiling mass
Now
totally dependent on plutocracy
That
they believe democracy
The
greatest human tragedy
Throughout
history
Mass
of people locked in place
Until
they reach another place
Beyond
this one they embrace
So
we must bide our time
And
wait to climb
On
higher ground
So
stay around
If
you can

History
Is the Moment
I
have seen gutter
Gut
people
In
a semicircle
Hugging
laughing talking
Camera
picture taking
When
suddenly ugliness
Appears
in face
Symbolizing
harder place
Lurking
in every face
Entrapped
within city space
Past
now in this moment
Of
unrestrained playful chatter
Eyes
still matter
Since
we have not transcended fear
It
is always near
Even
when we laugh play
History
stands in place
For
entire human race
Jim

No Short
Cut
There
is no place to hide
We
must let system slide
Through
historical tide
To
a place of change
Beyond
present conceptual range
Transcending
thought
Of
land power money
Indeed
beyond all history
No
short cut here
As
we rid ourselves of fear
The
time is near
So
let us prepare
For
no more war

Separation?
The
question integration
Or
separation
In
current supremist nation
Requires
both affirmation
For
Blacks in
Similar
to other folk
Who
work and joke
Like
Jews and Christians
Irish
Italians Germans Indians
Same
with Puerto Ricans
They
separate and integrate
In
what is called melting pot
And
Afro Americans have sought a spot
Within
this unfolding pot
For
a real Democracy
What
remains at stake
Should
Black folk separate
Within
this Nation
Could
it be a higher station
Or
total degradation?

White Face
White face empty
With blind stare
Peering nowhere
Like mechanized brain
Prearranged inflicting pain
On forms of life
Naturally seeking joy
Without strife
Avoiding European race
Nourished by mechanized face
Primed for war
This face is high tech
In fact technology
Here is no humanity
Only war insanity
Stealing from darkened skinned family
Who laugh joke and plan
Until they understand
Intruding white faced greed
Stealing land
Enslaving folk
Understanding this no joke
Non whites are alright
Until they must fight
This mechanized white
Until humanity reappears
With laughter and tears
Now gone their faces
Jim

A
Laughing Face
System
stalls
Like
hiding behind
Historic
walls
Then
it falls
No
longer hearing calls
For
human grace
Laws
of change now in place
Transformation
for this Race
After
millennia of disgrace
A
laughing face.

Turning 76
Words
used are desuetude
Not
simply another mood
This
world has changed
In
my life time
Where
mansions are sublime
And
poets without rhyme
While
we are incarcerated
By
high tech waste land
Waiting
to be deported
Back
to Mother Africa
The
people gone.
So
now I am 76
Ready
for another trick
Against
my love
While
high above
This
concrete wasteland.

Negation
Of Black Inequalization
Four
hundred years inequality
Have
all but destroyed black solidarity
And
now entrenched disparity
Between
rich and poor
With
poor antagonistic more
By
American culture
That
divide and conquer
Not
only Black and white
But
Blacks divided in this fight
Against
oppression
As
this nation ignores depression
Can
there be negation
Of
Black inequalization
Ever
intense negativity
Internalized
within our body
Awaits
negation of negation
The
law governing liberation
Of
Blacks and whites and this nation
Moving
a higher station
Jim Haughton
11/23/05
Entrapped
in bondage
That
makes us dumb
Our
hearts and minds taken
Hence
all of life forsaken
By
dehumanizing process
So
we can make no progress
In
who and what nature made
For
love
Not
below but high above
Emptiness
of class society
That
keeps us dumb
Continuously
numb
So
we do not know
How
pedals flow
As
we come and go
Unconscious
of eternal flow
Of
DestinyÕs laughter.
Does
it matter
We
eat and get fatter
Not
knowing love
Abounds
above this battlefield?
Can
we extend beyond money
Taste
spiritual honey
And
think of love?

The Kook Kook Train
Be
wary of kook kook train
Can
carry you insane
Without
feeling pain
As
it rumbles and tumbles
On
hard steel tracks
Carrying
Black hacks
Swiftly
moving in dead night
Darkness
illuminating streaks of light
By
watching kook kook train
The
Black insane
In
quiet pain
Still
traveling on kook kook train.

For Sanity
The System is rotten
When humanity forgotten
While corporate rich
Maintain workers in ditch
Waiting for recession
Expanding to depression
The people incapacitated
Culturally sedated
So much for democracy
Along with hypocrisy
A critical turn for
humanity
Compelled to search for
sanity
By control of economy.

The
Question
What
can you do
When
your life is through
And
you do not know
Who
are you?
Did
I fall from The Blue
Or
emerged from human stew?
What
about you?

The Moment
The
moment gone
Into
eternity
And
there nothing alone
Except
quiet roaring Space
Where
we see DivinityÕs face
Far
blacker than white
Not
withstanding distortions of hate
That
dissipate
Jim Haughton

Everybody
alive will be dead
Before
System moves ahead
So
do what we can
It
does not matter what we plan
The
Laws are fixed
Not
made by man
Systemic
contradictions resolved by law
Opening
this historic door
There
is no time
Except
the moment
But
one component
Of
universal timelessness
Jim Haughton

Beyond Language
Beyond
time dated
Planet
Earth originated
In
the endless Universe
There
attached a curse
Not
so much in space
But
in human race
We
can symbolize
Yet
cannot realize
A
Universe transcending language
ÒWhere
silence means more than wordsÓ
Like
flocks of flying birds
Soaring
high in herds

Equality
Now America is ugly
A living symbolic swastika
Burying pretensions of
democracy
As it prepares for war
Transforming what went
before
This nation turning poor
All systems come and go
This will not be slow
Perhaps a fascist
overthrow
Then democracy can grow
America cast in humanistic
glow
Our leaders from below
And Black workers can now
shout
Equality is what we are
about!

Not

We

Vivaldi And
Sadness
We

Yet
unable to express sadness
So

Afraid

In

allowing us to cry
Before
we die
Negation
of The Lie

Embraced

Replaced

Women

When
