Collective Guilt (Me and The Black Cat) EDIT 1.02: Kolemath, A. R., River Notch.

[billy]

i don't think ghandi raged at anything apart from a too mild curry. i found like god/like jesus to be too close to use as a 2nd example. i have no idea why you and the black cat [not you ] the [we] the italicized tack on didn't do anything for me. from the poem i get a sense of choice, we can do what we wish and in many ways it can be argued to be as valid as it's opposites. one mans meat and all that. if it does nothing else; it makes the reader think about what is written. did i get it? no. do i have to get it? no

Me and The Black Cat (Still wise, free, and safe in our remains)

We are good, like God
unique with a special purpose
like Satan.

We have rights, like King
dreaming up righteous mandates
like the Klan.

We are free, like Gandhi
to rage against the bourgeoisie
like old Mao.

We give hope, like Jesus
keeping faith in cult personalities
like Manson.

We still live, like Buddha
waiting for our rebirth
like a fool.
