Judge Colombo And His Jury
Judge Colombo and His Jury
This poem was composed three days before John Sinclair was found guilty of being in love with freedom.
The square headed impossible of
Law & order, pistols at their pits
Are sitting in wooden chairs
Calabourating/ I saw them
Sitting in secreate fantasies
Doing their country a favour.
Getting rid of an enemy
They are waiting for justice
to hang him & prove him evil
& get rid of him for good.
They smiled at the judge,
Who sat in his chair, behind his desk
doing a beautiful job sitting there
his election plan profile, speaking
honest neutrality/
Waiting to sentence him
Twenty years for possession.
The jury filed in
All american display.
One fat sow dressed in all red white & blue
She made eyes / Painted
Lady of death giggled & shook for the judge
Cast a glance at me
& all the others who came to watch
She thought she knew how her pubes
were fines & better than ours.
She understood that man was our leader
& how she would hear the story
the details of it all.
then convict him, straight to hell.
& the negroes & I mean negroes
Who lost it all to white shirts
& equality, were trying to believe,
believe in what was happening
/ Just think, we can send a white boy
where dey been sendin us for long time
Progress & one / one black woman
She smiled, she was the only one,
who saw thru it all.
She was waiting for justice to come
Come & take away all the false tits,
& suburbs & big boys.
For I (94) to be sentenced
to death.
I sat there & saw all this.
Right then, I became a revolutionary.
