" The defining characteristic of crony capitalism is the ability of favored elites to loot with impunity and the failure of regulators to do their jobs" - Commentary William K. Black (Bloomberg).

We have been captured,
brothers. And we labor
to make our getaway, into
the ancient image, into a new

correspondence with ourselves
and our black family. We need magic
now we need the spells, to raise up

Lately, I've become acustomed to the way
The ground opens up and envelopes me
Each time I go out to walk the dog.
Or the broad edged silly music the wind
Makes when I run for a bus . . .

Things have come to that.

And now, each night I count the stars,
And each night I get the same number.
And when they will not come to be counted,
I count the holes they leave.

Nobody sings anymore.

And then last night, I tiptoed up
To my daughter's room and heard her
Talking to someone, and when I opened
The door, there was no one there . . .
Only she on her knees, peeking into

Her own clasped hands..

I think they are not treating us like Mr. Lincun said they should
or Mr. Gandhi
For that matter. By God.
