Official account of Benjamin Zephaniah. Poet, writer, musician & trouble maker. He doesn't reply to enquires or requests here. Dude, he's not even into twitter.
Recorded somewhere in the 90s, this recording just sat on the shelf doing nothing. But when considering the state of our nations, & how states strive to control people & abuse power, it is still relevant, probably more relevant, now. See whole video here youtube.com/watch?v=4JYYZD…
I get my strength from knowledge. Knowledge is power, they say. But knowledge of self is even more powerful Because if you don't know yourself, nobody else really can and nobody else really will.

I thought, OBE me? Up yours, I thought. I get angry when I hear that word "empire"; it reminds me of slavery, it reminds of thousands of years of brutality, it reminds me of how my foremothers were raped and my forefathers brutalised.

Deep down, I am a revolutionary. I have no faith in the political system as it is. I've voted, but it's always for the least of the evils.
