ANARCHY AND REVOLUTION R US, PART 1: A REVIEW FOR THE REVOLUTION
By Thornton Kimes
We recently published what others call a “white paper” on the necessity of giving up reliance on other people, chiefly the Po’Lice, to solve problems we can and should deal with ourselves. That is nested inside a bigger necessity: how do we change the world from one where people are exploited, or exploiters, into one where that doesn’t happen?
Ronald McDonald House Poetry
Our Indigenous Peoples Media Coordinator Our Indigenous Peoples Media Coordinator, Mari V. went to Denver with a group called the Visionaries that is doing a community project with the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Denver. She along with Marjorie Davis, and Louis Chapoose (White River Ute) held Art and Spoken Word workshops. The Spoken Word Workshops are based on POOR Magazine’s curriculum of the Slam Bio. The youth also recorded their poetry pieces and make a spoken word CD.
Slam Bios are short versions of a poet’s biography

I am not a violent woman, not an angry woman, nor am I a vicious woman, as a matter fact I am a spiritual woman guided by: God, Allah, Jehovah, Jah, Creator, Dios, Most High. Channeled by my ancestors to spiritually do the right thing, but in 1992 I was going to kill my Father that’s right I was going to blow his Mother Fuckin' Head off.

Being the child of poor, multi-racial, teenage, and public aid-dependent parents, I swear to myself I will never raise a child in a financially unstable home. So I made a mental choice to withhold my virtue till marriage; but life apparently had other plans for me.
