They say its some terrorist, some barbaric A Rab, in Afghanistan It wasn't our American terrorists It wasn't the Klan or the Skin heads Or the them that blows up nigger Churches, or reincarnates us on Death Row It wasn't Trent Lott Or David Duke or Giuliani Or Schundler, Helms retiring

They say (who say?) Who do the saying Who is them paying Who tell the lies Who in disguise Who had the slaves Who got the bux out the Bucks

Who got fat from plantations Who genocided Indians Tried to waste the Black nation

Who live on Wall Street The first plantation Who cut your nuts off Who rape your ma Who lynched your pa

Who got the tar, who got the feathers Who had the match, who set the fires Who killed and hired Who say they God & still be the Devil

Who the biggest only Who the most goodest Who do Jesus resemble

Who created everything Who the smartest Who the greatest Who the richest Who say you ugly and they the goodlookingest

Who define art Who define science

Who made the bombs Who made the guns

Who bought the slaves, who sold them

Who called you them names Who say Dahmer wasn't insane

Who? Who? Who?

Who stole Puerto Rico Who stole the Indies, the Philipines, Manhattan Australia & The Hebrides Who forced opium on the Chinese

Who owned the slave ship Who run the army

Who the fake president Who the ruler Who the banker

Who? Who? Who?

Who own the mine Who twist your mind Who got bread Who need peace Who you think need war

Who own the oil Who do no toil Who own the soil Who is not a nigger Who is so great ain't nobody bigger

Who own this city

Who own the air Who own the water

Who own your crib Who rob and steal and cheat and murder and make lies the truth Who call you uncouth

Who live in the biggest house Who do the biggest crime Who go on vacation anytime

Who killed the most niggers Who killed the most Jews Who killed the most Italians Who killed the most Irish Who killed the most Africans Who killed the most Japanese Who killed the most Latinos

Who? Who? Who?

Who own the ocean

Who own the airplanes Who own the malls Who own television Who own radio

Who own what ain't even known to be owned Who own the owners that ain't the real owners

Who own the suburbs Who suck the cities Who make the laws

Who made Bush president Who believe the confederate flag need to be flying Who talk about democracy and be lying

Who the Beast in Revelations Who 666 Who know who decide Jesus get crucified

Who the Devil on the real side Who got rich from Armenian genocide

Who the biggest terrorist Who change the bible Who killed the most people Who do the most evil Who don't worry about survival

Who have the colonies Who stole the most land Who rule the world Who say they good but only do evil Who the biggest executioner

Who? Who? Who?

Who own the oil Who want more oil Who told you what you think that later you find out a lie

Who? Who? Who?

Who found Bin Laden, maybe they Satan Who pay the CIA, Who knew the bomb was gonna blow Who know why the terrorists Learned to fly in Florida, San Diego

Who know why Five Israelis was filming the explosion And cracking they sides at the notion

Who need fossil fuel when the sun ain't goin' nowhere

Who make the credit cards Who get the biggest tax cut Who walked out of the Conference Against Racism Who killed Malcolm, Kennedy & his Brother Who killed Dr King, Who would want such a thing? Are they linked to the murder of Lincoln?

Who invaded Grenada Who made money from apartheid Who keep the Irish a colony Who overthrow Chile and Nicaragua later

Who killed Huey Newton, Fred Hampton, Medgar Evers, Mikey Smith, Walter Rodney, Was it the ones who tried to poison Fidel Who tried to keep the Vietnamese Oppressed

Who put a price on Lenin's head

Who put the Jews in ovens, and who helped them do it Who said "America First" and ok'd the yellow stars

Who killed Rosa Luxembourg, Liebneckt Who murdered the Rosenbergs And all the good people iced, tortured, assassinated, vanished

Who got rich from Algeria, Libya, Haiti, Iran, Iraq, Saudi, Kuwait, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Jordan, Palestine,

Who cut off peoples hands in the Congo Who invented Aids Who put the germs In the Indians' blankets Who thought up "The Trail of Tears"

Who blew up the Maine & started the Spanish American War Who got Sharon back in Power Who backed Batista, Hitler, Bilbo, Chiang kai Chek

Who decided Affirmative Action had to go Reconstruction, The New Deal, The New Frontier, The Great Society,

Who do Tom Ass Clarence Work for Who doo doo come out the Colon's mouth Who know what kind of Skeeza is a Condoleeza Who pay Connelly to be a wooden negro Who give Genius Awards to Homo Locus Subsidere

Who overthrew Nkrumah, Bishop, Who poison Robeson, who try to put DuBois in Jail Who frame Rap Jamil al Amin, Who frame the Rosenbergs, Garvey, The Scottsboro Boys, The Hollywood Ten

Who set the Reichstag Fire

Who knew the World Trade Center was gonna get bombed Who told 4000 Israeli workers at the Twin Towers To stay home that day Why did Sharon stay away?

Who? Who? Who?

Explosion of Owl the newspaper say The devil face cd be seen

Who make money from war Who make dough from fear and lies Who want the world like it is Who want the world to be ruled by imperialism and national oppression and terror violence, and hunger and poverty.

Who is the ruler of Hell? Who is the most powerful

Who you know ever Seen God?

But everybody seen The Devil

Like an Owl exploding In your life in your brain in your self Like an Owl who know the devil All night, all day if you listen, Like an Owl Exploding in fire. We hear the questions rise In terrible flame like the whistle of a crazy dog

Like the acid vomit of the fire of Hell Who and Who and WHO who who Whoooo and Whooooooooooooooooooooo!

that idiot needs to learn himself some history and I mean real, factual, actual history not whatever revisionist BS he's been learnin. Didn't Stalin order Lenin killed?

Stalin ordered Trotsky killed. The Soviets were a pretty evil bunch, even to each other. BTW, there are a couple other pro-commie lines in the poem -- "Who frame the Rosenbergs ... The Hollywood Ten". Of course, both were guilty as sin ...

I mean, the wall came down in 1989! What planet is this man living on?

Dark and lonely
On a summer night.
Kill my landlord.
Kill my landlord.

The watchdog barkin',
Do he bite?
Kill my landlord.
Kill my landlord.

Slip in his window,
Break his neck.
Then his house
I start to wreck.
Got no reason,
What the heck?
Kill my landlord.
Kill my landlord.

C-I-L-L
My land-lord.

Of course, Stalin ordered Trotsky killed. I had a brain fart there with Lenin. That Rosenberg reference jumped out at me too, hasn't this idiot heard of the Venona papers yet? I mean come on, talk about self delusion. The masses believe that communism is dead, how I wish that it true.

The "fake president" part is just as irritating, in my opinion. The poet laureate was definitely a Gore voter in 2000.

Who know who decide Jesus get crucified

Ok, so now it was WASP Republicans who killed Christ?

You don't get any dumber than this guy. Perhaps he will be invited to join Cornell West at the ever-declining Princeton.

Who killed Malcolm, Kennedy & his Brother

Actually, "Brother Malcolm" was killed by his own kind, as Farakkan has admitted.

And RFK was killed by a "Palestinian" Muslim, Sirhan Sirhan.

"who Let the Poet Out"

One day New Jersey decided they needed a poet (Big whoopdie-doo!)
So they got a guy named Baraka... (Real name Leroy Jones)
Wrote about history, but he didn't know it... (went to public school)
Blamed every woe on all the crackahs...

And now everybody's sayin'

Who let the poet out? Who? Who? WHo? Who?

etc...

we could have fun with this ;0)

I wonder if this guy is a BENNY and will the NJ school children be required to read and memorize his poem?

Yes, I thought Sinions was funny too. That is why I put it in there.

It took me all of two minutes to write that.
Perhaps I should be the next Poet Laureate of New Jersey!
Yes, I live in Montana. However, I can produce a lot of third grade humor too!

Who who who, what a pathetic poem this guy wrote. If I was in the fourth grade I would have gotten an F for this garbage. I guess in New Jersey they think it is art. Perhaps they need to teach people to read in New Jersey. Then they would know this guy can't write.
