10.19.06 by Ja'Norris McMarion
Today is a day that many songs are being sung. They are heard from the depths of administrative segregation, to the cages of death row. Freedom and Release...
One has taken his life in this concrete and steel jungle of oppression. Some say it was cowardly, some say unjust, some say stupid, some say just, some say righteous and some say plain wrong but who are we to criticize a man in his last moments of despair. Me personally, I'm against suicide, but your life is your life and people, contrary to belief, it takes heart and a large set of balls to end your own.
I wasn’t there so I know not the details, for all I know these crooked; Racist dictators probably snuffed his life and then what?
This is talked about as if it’s the number 1 song on urban radio, but what amazes me when something happens that the masses perceive as negative it’s a lot to be said, but if people have so much to say about what is perceived as negative, why don’t they stand up and let these death halls and anima/cages use your voice?
Who’s to say that his death wasn’t a euphoric release from this environment of oppression, degradation and dehumanizing conditions that Gov. Rick Perry and T.D.C.T-ID Executive Director Brad Livingston has placed upon us.
10.19.06 shouldn’t be a day of criticizing or bashing those who escape the only way they know, it should be a day that hearts, minds, eyes and souls should be opened to the atrocities of these conditions.
There are many others, others who have released their souls from these vile conditions and many more will do the same, sad but true. Believe me people; the Governor and the T.D.C.J-ID are not happy because they didn’t get to feel the euphoria of the kill. This racist machine has assumed the form of epiphany: definition (A usu. sudden manifestation of perception of the essential nature or meaning of something) we are in a time now where people constantly criticize and complain instead of knuckling up and protecting themselves. 10.19.06 shouldn’t be talked about like when Joan/Diana Ross’s daughter’s on girlfriends places are the T.V in ass hugging pants; it should be a call to arms because these people have become perfectos of systematical genocide.
This jungle is so oppressive that the hoods “HAVE BEEN RUNNING DEAD WITH THE BLOOD OF THE CAGED”. It’s a shame that our mother’s joy will come when those in death cages are released in body bags. I’m not on death row so I don’t know much about the people, I'm in administrative segregation but I know their treatment is worse than ours. I found that out when I entered seg. There will be many more 10.19.06 because people want to escape these monstrosities and atrocities however they can. Some will fight, bite, kick, scream, stab and scratch; some will go humbly to their end and some will end it before the state ends it and still who are we to criticize? We are all from different tribes with different characteristics. Some are from the fierce warrior tribes, farmer tribes, trace tribes, political tribes, and masonry tribes, therefore: we all have to help create for and defend each other. Animals kill for safety and survival but the state murders for pleasure, political plateau and money. So who’s to say on 10.19.06 this person was wrong for his decision? I do know he denied the state the pleasure of murdering him, or could it be as a Comrade Cuban G’I had stated in the “The death penalty, how cheating the value of human life is mentally, emotionally and morally unhealthy to society and only reinstates the code of justice by bloodshed.” (Insanity adopts many forms. One man, fearing that someone has poisoned his food, throws his property and prison issued clothes and bedding on the run, then stands naked in his cage holding for in the voice proselytized about the non-existence of death and his certainty the EVERYONE is God. Others are self-mutilators who in the slice of a sharp object seek to escape their depression; some use their teeth to rip open their stitches after being sewn up and drink their own blood or eat their own flesh...Which under scopes the waking nature of our existence, for some of the men once participated in the now discontinued death row work program, where, because of mental stimulation, social interaction and a sense of worth they functioned normally. In a few short months our maltreatment and its attendant perpetual distortions, inversion of minds and a sense of walls closing in has destroyed these men, turned them into self consuming self-mutilators. The seams of their stability have burst and their shamans are not equal to the task of the integrating into society’s madhouse the frail and the fallen.)
Some will fight, bite, kick, scream, stab and scratch. Some will go humbly to their end and some will end it before the state ends it. So what will you do? How will you be ready in your moments of death and despair?
