“The Origin Of Things”

by Ancestor Listervelt Middleton

Look around you black child
Your creation is everywhere
Though painted, distorted and
given new names
They bear your prints
just the same

so sharpen your eyes and
tune your ear
so you’ll know what you see
understand what you hear

You were the first to write
the first to read
humanity sprang from
your black seed
for 110,000 years
you were here alone and
then the caucasion man was born
behind the ice
inside the cold
a chill set in this new mans soul
other minds have been credited
with the things they learned from you Newton,
Pyagoras, Kepler and Galilo too so

sharpen your eyes and
tune your ear
so you know what you see
understand at you hear

you made the serpent
the the symbol of the healing arts and african justice
was
goddes maat
who weighed herself
against the african soul,
truth and justice blindfold,
the george washington monument
is yours too
a copy of the egyptian tekenu
a symbol of
the black world’s powers of creation
the black man’s penis
means devine procreation

the king of southern egypt
wore a white crown
keep listening and
you will catch your mouth
when you learn that
the central government in egypt
was known as the white house

sharpen your eyes and
tune your ear
so you’ll know what you see
understand what you hear

your god osiris
was restored to life
long before buddah
long before christ
and today what you call
the madonna and child is but
the first black family
worshipped along the Nile and
when you feel the spirit
the holy ghost
you should know that it started at
abydos
where god osiris’ body was laid
the holy land
where africans prayed

minute by minute
hour by hour
as you lose your history
you lose your power

so sharpen your eyes
and tune your ear
so you’ll know what you see
understand what you hear.

Dear HONY,

Hi, I’m a Columbia student and I’d like to tell you about the head of the classics department up here at Columbia in Morningside Heights. Her name is Gerry Visco and she doubles as a writer for the New York Post. She is the most eccentric, real, no bullshit, and indeed, CRAZY lady I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Just google “Gerry Visco” to see what I mean. She goes around the city and hosts all sorts of alternative parties and writes about them. She has the most unique and loudest fashion sense of anyone I know. It’s crazy, you walk up the the 6th floor of Hamilton hall and enter her office and just see all of these bottles of vodka and weird knick-knacks all over the place. You see this huge iMac and this forest of pink hair strands flowing in every which direction behind it. This is her head. She curses, she yells, she calls people out, yet shes one of the nicest, and most honest people I’ve ever known. If anyone deserves to be on HONY, it’s Geraldine Winifred Visco. She is intertwined with the history of New York City. Name a famous New York celebrity, and she can tell you about some time back in the 70s or 80s when she met them. I don’t know how you’d catch her on the street though. I would suggest walking right into Hamilton Hall and going up to the 6th floor and just talking to her. She’d LOVE the attention.

I love the gold chain on her neck that says ‘Black Girls Rock’.  We really do!

Following my general rule to investigate anyone who looks like they belong in a Hobbit movie, I came upon this man. After I took his photo, he handed me a card. It said:

Jean-Louis Bourgeois
Professor of Limerick Infliction at Gotham University
A student-free university encouraging S.L.O.T.H.

Slow
Luscious
Opportunities
Toward 
Happiness

The whole experience further justified my instinct to investigate anyone who looks like they belong in a Hobbit movie.
