Hey Big Bro,

Tell Xzyzst that I enjoyed the Volume III zine that you sent. I found the conversation on the Zande Warriors interesting. I wonder if Xzyzst has found examples of homosexual women in history. The artwork is awesome too.

The Soul Sessions open mic that I went to was a lot of fun. There was a dance battle, poets, and other types of performers. It feels good to be surrounded by creative people. I really feed off of that positive energy.

Here's a rough draft of the poem I've been working on. It's called Queen.

Don't you know the worth of a woman?
Did you forget that the queen
gave birth to the prince before he became a king?

She fed him from the nipple of her breast
and comforted him within the shelter
of her arms. Wiped his tears away
when he cried and nursed his fever
away when he was sick.

I guess you forgot.

Her value has been forgotten
she's been minimized to a baby momma,
a weaker vessel, an emotional wreck,
a sinful temptation, just a woman.

How could you turn your back on a woman?

I guess this is how God felt when He/She/They created us, molded us from the dust
and blew the breath of life within us
and we humans forgot our origin, our roots,
our beginning in the universe.

Instead of honoring the creator and protecting creation, we destroy it, reaching for bigger and better, and more greed, instead of the beauty in simplicity.

No wonder why you don't know the worth of a woman. You don't even know a creator when you see one.

You have no respect for creation.

In case you didn't know,
I'm a queen.
I gave birth to the prince
before he became a king.

Tell me what you think. How can I make it better.

I'll send pics soon!

Love Always,

Safiya :)

hello Robert,

How is everything with you? Here it says you should get your mail today, Nov. 7th.News is like a care package, says George, my fiancé. And so it is! One likes to hear what happens with a friend at the other side of the world.And we all have ups and downs, haven't we?
I read you can converse with your daughter and so the two of you can grow towards each other.She knows she has a very dear dad. :)
To put you in a positive mindset I'd like to sum up some very nice sayings, Robert.Wisdom lets you grow.

'A life without love is a waste'

'Experience will give you more wisdom'

'Give yourself to the world, and it will give back to you'

They're nice to reflect on!

Robert, another friend inmate Joshua sent me 8 paintings; he's an artist and together with George (now they're separated) they made a watercolor from my parents, when they married!They surprised me with it for my birthday!I was really very moved; also with 8 artworks!in different mediums: acrylic, pen, wasco, etc
I certainly would have liked to send money on J Pay!Well, I can't... Something with my bank card.My Dutch friend Gera heard about this happening with BE cards. There is another way to send money and I'll try it. I had like to send you some money as well, but you see my problem.

George is still in segregation, but as he says, he's okay.His alternative plate is relatively good.He got an apple and this is scarce!...Do you get fresh food at yours?

I had bad luck on October, 13th; a suitcase in the train (I was going to babysit at my daughter, Elke)fell from the rack on my head! A child could have been dead or injured for life! All by all I'm doing well. No severe headaches, sometimes a slight pain on the top of my head. But it's minor.The neck was stiff and now I'm going twice a week to the therapist.It's becoming slowly better.
On the 7th of December I've the opportunity to travel with a couple;( her fiancé is also an American)-we're in a small group of 5 people- to travel to Indonesia! It was always a wish f mine to see that country!
We're back on December,30th.
How immensely cruel to kill a man for some money!So, you have only three friends at you place; at least you have them.Look at you Robert, you are a good man... and perhaps there are more men such as you.Looking for friendship.I know, George tells me; they're hard to find!He went to a prior prison, and there he had good friends. The past prison was a waste of time; but at least he had met Joshua as a very good friend, like a brother.:))
George helps fellows there; in the other prison there was no demand for his help.He's an intellectual and he can help in ways. he does what he can. These are his small rewards. He's a peaceful person. And has a lot of respect for who he is!In April I will visit him.
Robert, with helping others, you help yourself.Did you join that offer? Did you get the job they promised you?
A hug!Rit

NGR Verses Chapter 3.

Paul Oneal: Born Black

Born black, scorned black
a suicidal birth
replying soul
by default
of anothers thought
by enough measure
of the sun
shall the flesh of
this soul be
a death sentence, no more.

--Xzyzst

Eula Love: Perfect Am I

I shall not, must not
want not be in the need
of another hue
for no vessel as
pure and clean
shall I desire
perfect am I
stay with me
inside with me
release me not
from the inner embrace

--Xzyzst

1 of 4

Amadou Diallo: Extracted treasure

External treasure
find my safety inside
hand and evil stay
married for my extraction
challenge of my temperament
our love is secure
escaping to the edge
where we leap down
into another fatal
seething darkness

--Xzyzst

Sandra Bland: My First Mind

Translate not
for does a spirit prespire?
Stay with me my soul
for I am black
beyond what can be
distroyed by swords
words and depression
together we are longing no more
for you are my first mind
trust inside of this blackness

--Xzyzst

2 of 4

Darren Hunt: Whatching Pain

Must I defend you
from revenge
must you defend my
struggle to breathe
in another realm
connected are we by
attractive magnetics
in my earnest capacity
must I leave for the
protection of the eyes
of my inner most
whatching pain
decieve us all

--Xzyzst

Margret LaVerne Mitchell: Slow Drying Tears

Why then not consider
my demise
to pull out of flesh
selfeshness requires
you to stay addicted
addiction to eachother
must lend a first hand
of intent
to prevent the eyes of
this flesh to fill with
slow drying tears
as tears can only fall
from the eyes
of the living

--Xzyzst 3 of 4

Idriss Stelley: Required by Love

Demise
in full of viewing
all things anti-black
anti-love, anti-we
unity, when I stay
you live shall I suffer
unity, when I leave
I live and your ending
cometh rapidly
yet we have not yet
considered sacrifice
when required by love

-Xzyzst

Eleanor Bumpurs: We are one

Extending, for shall life
be not our waist
ballance a now, hearts,
weight, the behalf of
the we, are black as one
until tomorrow refuses to
come, we are one black
suicide black

-Xzyzst
