Rants of and activist too old to be quiet.

                                                ©2010 M. Bennett Hooper


The faces of intellectual impoverishment is never so evident as one watches those men and women posturing themselves as community leaders and alleged liberators as they pimp the now growing sleeping majority.
A majority of sleepers too lazy to question the obvious when they are placated with free food, drink, and a promise of we are moving on up when the only ones moving up are the preacher pimps who are also alleged politicians who promise to aid in the delivery of goods they do not own.

Do you not recognize Jesse James when you see him. He is joined by would be educators of the masses whose children are doomed to failure before they even learn the alphabet. Memphis look at yourself, community for too many is a word used to describe their awaiting prey as donations to causes without goals are advertised as imminently achieved possibilities.
The new slavers are the same ones of old as certain men never change and pimping the masses is also practiced by those who label themselves conscious and we who sit by the firing squad wonder if their elimination is just not another waste of bullets.
Wasted if we are not prepared to save the children whom they treat less than pets.

Birth control is a misnomer when the actions of procreation are no more than a playground for today’s monsters. Frankenstein is alive and he is joined by a half clad woman who flaunts herself cheaply as beautiful while selling herself to the highest bidder who really doesn’t like women anyway, Bishops, Popes, Elders, Congressman.

Who leads you my people or are you just one of the many who claim comfort in the practice of intellectual impoverishment.
So Jesse where will your next march for justice , peace, and jobs be held.
Memphis is tired of being the butt of bad jokes about who leads its’ citizens.
City of the Dead when will you awaken or do you really want to!
