lone star statement

The CourtTV report in the previous post includes a link to two of Kenneth Foster’s poems.

The first, a lone star statement, is incomplete as published by CourtTV. This is the missing text, some of it transcribed from Kenneth Foster’s reading, the rest copied from the FreeKenneth website.

poison
& laughs
from civilized
christian amerika
who passed on the chance for
reform,
rehabilitation,
redemption
for a pension of
“I got paid back” checks
through this death
and these people got
pictures of
Haman, Herod & Herbert
on their shelf
and they in prostration/
frustration
with theyself
cause they can’t seem to decipher
this cycle of violence/
riots/ civic defiance/
this dissatisfication
w/ “freedom” in the good ol US of A.

MAYDAY! MAYDAY!
it’s a melee
on the runway
to the gurney.
hurry! hurry!
we must bury
another killer,
another victim,
another innocent!
cause they all the same
and we don’t want society
to know the difference.
because the people are smarter than you think.

and i’m on the brink of
sanity
cause i’ve had to be insane
to sustain in an active coffin
for this long.
i’m singing over the rhythms of
death rituals
lifting up
life music
cause Nikki said
they’d hear us
when we raised a song.

i struggle cause
i know they want to kill us
ANYWAY!
so i relay this poem
as a Bat signal to the people…

HURRY! HURRY!
and the needle
is so close to us all.
