Your subjugation before Him,
your very wounds which you imitate
and which will kill you
(like a lamb to the slaughter)
are the result of a cultural colonization
first of Europeans, then of people of color.
Verily decolonization, when it gazes at the spectacle:
when it looks at what it seeks to remove,
will look from a powerful race to the symbol that enslaves it.
Colonizes it.
Orients its mind to conquest, privilege.
Demands that it treat women as nothing.
And that is the crucified God.
Spit forth a sermon, O almighty, thus stripped!
You suck Spirit down into the void
until nothing but Matter is discernible.
You murderer, you thief, you death-worshipper!
Give back my race unto its previous life,
where it existed unmolested by your purposes
and I will pull out the nails of your cross
and discard them, the cross, and You forever.
We are both in this:
Masters whipping slaves,
slaves whipping masters
in a sadomasochistic fantasy
that goes back to Golgotha
So breathe of my fiery words
of the flame to burn up your cross,
liberate your spirit,
and become one with your Self!
