under colonial rule.

in Gods universe.

Desire is not greed. greed is not systemic . it is insecurity. desire is holy. translations . a mode of experiencing . is storytelling.

People who hoard. are ignorant of why they hurt. so they miss-attribute. wrongly associate. their pain, with their debilitated desire. and are left open . to the fumes of desperation that scent the air. they forget.

where does your hurt come from. A social policy. a designed curriculum. a planned. approved. and constructed. unnecessary dam. that intentionally hurts human. are you not human. they get confused by grammar.

a word before a word. signals, not me. why so literal. you symbiotic being.

---<breathe>---

you want what you want . bc your hurt. you hurt because we hurt . because something is hurting us.

- - -< inhale>---

money can’t save you. money didn’t make you. you psychological being. fast. Ramadan from what you believe . is truth. listen to the slave. that knows its pain. in to me see. breeds. silence. silence to feel. what harms a human. harms a human.

touching a stove. when it’s on. blisters the skin. the spectrum of heat. the literal degree that symbolizes the heat intensity. means nothing. to the blistered skin. if the stove is on. Be wary. skin.

The stove is on.

but the stove is not real. the pain in your body . is surreal. a dream . within a dream. don’t speak out. your voice is only trill. off beat. the way music is made.

they story that things that are natural. are hard. in practice. becomes the lie. that dams us all. music becomes illusion. eluding our senses.

what is music for. the slave knows. the closest to the body. sensual becomes ugly. you filthy animal. how dare you.

clean. clean. clean. without cleaning anything.

Dirty desire.
