tools of oppression, tools of liberation

Spirals

Spirals for slavery, Spiral to freedom

Illustration, by the author

My body is spirit
And there is no karma.

Karma is created by
invisible powers
Behind political puppets
who feel in charge
Of this planet
And give themselves
The right to abuse.
They create poverty spirals,
Illnesses spirals, anger spirals,
To maintain us in a mental state
of survival and fear.

They sustain mental prisons
So that we have no time to think nor freedom.
We fear to be caught up in a descent spiral
Like so many around us, where life is just survival.

We are hypnotized by binary choices
That are not choices, just manipulations
To narrow our full space of choice in two.
Other puppets are just here like the token negroes
to make us believe we have liberty of choice.
