you’ll never get Mississippi straightened out —
not until you start realizing your connection

Flesh is now the enemy.
Humans slowly stripped of their humanity,
have forgotten their true purpose...

/ “ revolt ! ”/ (lingala) It’s time...
— It’s time to break the Omerta —
The heavy and excruciating
“ Code of silence”
— That has enabled/protected genocidal — episodes and has been serving imperialist
colonial agendas for centuries.
This Revolt of hidden identities (that many try to erase) has
dared me to dream... I dare! to bear witness to universal religion and humanity,
away from dogma, fanaticism and politics. I dare to define a
future free of oppressors growing in their Putrefying Glory.
I dare to break away from the imperialist Power dynamics
and their dividing Fences » —
I dare!
I dare to press the reset button, launching a deconstruct- reconstruct Mechanism, exploding the cement walls shielding us from witnessing and denouncing the machinations of power...
I dare! to Voice a new “Mother Tongue” for all the Children of This Mass Cosmocide.
For It is Time...
“To create a New Humanity that is not taken hostage by the arrogance of cold hard science”- (Sony Labou Tansi)
Time to Honour The breasts that fed you, The tongue, The heart. To honour CONGO ! , The Womb, Cradle of All Cradles, your Flesh, your Oxygen - For, I am Congo and you have forsaken me...
It is time to Talk ...
About Congo. About Humans...
“Because all our struggles are one single struggle” * and
“... what we call the 3rd World is the World of Tomorrow” **
This is A Duty of Remembrance, an Omen for the Future.
A time in the making...
This is “ T c m b c K c ” A Manifesto.

“ I broke the device
and Inside was a Mirror Facing me,
I N S I D E ...
All these years
It was me inside the device
A thousand layers, a Thousand Lies
It was me they were killing Tatá! Ô please open your eyes
The Time has come
To PRESS the Damn Button! [Reset] All devices!
For my Heart is Bleeding
I didn’t find the coveted green gold inside the Damn device,
But I smelled the metallic blood
Lamuka Tatá!
Your children’s tears are lost in The river of All rivers,
Jesus is having fun in hell, Nobody will come to save us
Eli! Eli! Lama Sabachthani! Press [Reset]
Call it Quit!
Save Yourselves! ”
