I am the richest man alive, and it's really quite simple
to be as rich as me. I am an observer, I notice the big picture.
And let it be, just up to the point where It threatens me. Then
I beat it back, a Marduk to its Tiamet. Yesterday, I filmed
a movie in CIW that's California Institution for Women, it was
an eye opening experience, to say the least. There's something
very moving about seeing 2,000 women (yes, I said two thousand)
Mothers, sisters, daughters (look I'm crying again) incarcerated.
What have we done? WHAT HAVE WE FUCKING DONE?
YOU DOGS, pigs, illiterates.
God damn, okay I feel better. But what the fuck have we done to our mothers?
"You bastards killed Kimmy". Point being, when women start killing,
and stealing, and drugging up? We've butt fucked our society man...
We've gone wrong, we've done something that's worse than kill one
another. We've destroyed our source. Think about that, you dumb ass
mother-fuckers, and consider your actions. Because, these women
all have a couple of things in common, always 'statistically', regardless
of what they've done, regardless whether they were loaded, and killed their
children accidentally, or picked up a gun and shot their husbands,
or've stolen to eat, or conned targets to feed their children, or even, yes even
abondoned their children or purposely killed them.
I want you to know,
I am a child of the sysytem, my mother abused me horribly, my father
was incarcerated my entire childhood, (yes that's fifteen years).
My life was spent visiting these people I loved that I couldn't be with.
I am a product of the instituition, the machine, and I want you to know.
These women, 99%, were all raped, abused, under-educated,
and horribly mistreated as children, and this is how we re-pay them?
For doing what they know, doing the predictable, repeating the cycle.
I was playing the part of Sargent Blunt, a sadistic motherfucker...
Don't look at me like that in irony. Okay, back to the story. Getting in
and out of the prison is a nightmare, you know? Because of the search,
and rules and all that, but part of me was really glad we were at a female prison,
and not a men's prison. Why? Women want to fuck me, men want to kill
me, and brother? I'm a Darwinist, not a retard. I had a chance to talk to a few
Although I wasn't supposed to, and I really enjoyed it (After we got
around the part where they wanted to eat my genitals in a gulp) I found
out that these were some extraordinarilly beautiful women, and I'm a better
person for knowing it now people. Why? Because I'm a bigger man than you.
I'm not afraid to say what I feel, and I'm smart enough to type it, and publish it;
Instead of knowing it, and ingnoring it.
I challenge any, if not all of you, to write a prisoner,
and tell them your story, and hear theirs. I believe in destiny, I
believe in fate, and I want you to also feel that belief too, and know
what I know in my heart. We all come from men and women,
from god, and we should take the time out of our selfish lives
to give those around us that don't have the capacity to function in a
society, the opportunity to believe that they can be taught how, and succeed
at being mothers, daughter, and sisters again, or fathers, brothers, and
sons again. We need to take a long look at what we are doing,
and stop it, or else, we will be no more.
Here's my challenge:
Whoever can prove that they are writing a prisoner?
Recieves a Horus8 gift box:
All 4 CD's valued at 65$
And my book Juno's Peacock
a 16.00$ item, just because
I'm the kind of artist that challenges
My environment when it challenges my.
Feel free to use
www.corr.ca.gov/InstitutionsDiv/INSTDIV/facilities/fac_prison_CIW.asp
Or one of the other establishments that hold 1.9 million, yes that's right,
prisoners... And you tell them Horus8 sent you, I don't give a fuck if they
disagree, I can back my play, and so should you.

Well, like many have said before me, you never cease to amaze. I know you are up there with the God-like status thing...but you have people afraid of you too? Wow! Anyhow, I like the rant, and you bring up some very valid points. What kind of a world are we living in where women are just as sick as men? Shit has to change for the better. You are quite the motivator. Maybe a more direct link to a program that could get us in touch with inmates would be easier for those poor saps who are too lazy to look for a link. (Call me low on energy). I'd love to write the letters but I am not so eager to receive the extrinsic motivators, even though I would love to have a copy of your book and your cd(s). Put up a link that is direct and I will show you letters to inmates. Later.

I don't find it surprising as I find it lengthy, man that must hit home when you watch a well exploited situation.
If Martha Stewart was still in jail I'd write her apologies that the system didn't let her get away with what most asshats do because they have a worm growing between their legs.
I don't suppose volunteering at the women league of voters counts. -
I'm sorry, but I think people are responsible for their own actions. This junk about it's the parents fault that the child is that away is in some ways true, but it's still crap. People can fix themselves. I've lived in a abusive household, but I'm nothing like it. I've changed myself to be better, so my kids wont have to deal with the problems I've had to deal with. Now about women being treated differently than men, I 100% agree. And this is coming from a man. Martha Stewart is a really good example. She did something wrong, yes, but the men at Enron and that other place, I think it was World.com or something. Anyway, nothing happened to them. They destroyed lives, Stewart stole. I was ridiculous. I'm done rabbling now.

My vocabunastics are a gimmick not a 24 hour a day speech impediment,
and I don't pretend to be smart and pretentious by telling people I listen to jazz, I
just shut up and play it.

Rant with heat
Do you mind if I write to Michigan Prisons? Or is it just California that fits the order? By the way, I prefer jazz on my CD's . And one more thing, brilliance does not describe loneliness, but intolerable arrogance does. I have been a fan of your talent, go gently. We are all bozo’s on this bus. If you wish to discuss the state of injustice in this world, outside of your poetry, then let’s chat later. -
Quite the angsty post. I can understand why though. I am a woman and I have my associations with most everything you said except for repeating the cycle. I was able to break it. Thank God. It was not the easiest of tasks but it can be done with the right people within your life. Very well expressed. Glad I came across it.
-Cadence-
P.S. I already write a prisoner. My brother that I put in prison for assaulting my daughter. -
interesting. I'm not going to try, partly because frankly, I'm greatly intimidated by you, and partly because I'm not sure I understood everything you were trying to say. Though I really want your book, I'd rather not get you pissed off with some crap write
so, lovely challenge, good luck with it, and much love, as always

You know, Jerimi, I've always felt a certain compassion for women who've been imprisoned but your write here, made me REALLY think about their situation and why they might be in it.
In some ways, women seem to be looked upon with much more ill thoughts than men who have done the same crime. I think this is because women are by design supposed to be the tenderest, most understanding, most accepting, most peaceful and all the other superlatives we speak of and feel. So if one goes out and commits a crime, be it a serious felony, child abuse, spouse killing or even killing a child, drug abuse, they're viewed as much the worse as a human being than is a man committing the same offense.
We do tend to forget that they are mothers, grandmothers, daughters, sisters, wives, who either loved with all their heart or wanted that love.
And you have a very special point..... women...our source, our survival...what have we done???!!!
I'm going to heed your suggestion as to writing to a woman, maybe more than one, in this position. I hadn't thought of doing that before but it's a very compassionate, caring thing...these women need that. I know one who has spent the last 2 years in a woman's prison. She has always been very special to me. I was able to talk to her on the phone, wrote to her, sent money and packages as allowed by the system, etc. She's out now, but in all that time the only one who ever went to see her was her yongest sister, not even her mother. I couldn't because she was incarserated 1500 miles away or I would have been there every visiting day. But in all that time, even though I'd think about why the other women were there, I never really gave it deep thought. We need to look at these women, feel what their feeling. Their thoughts and dreams, their longings are really not so different than ours..... but theirs are on hold, we can follow through with ours when and if we choose to do so.
So.... I'm going to take the initiative, contact a womens prison, perhaps the one where my special person was, and see what I need to do to corespond with one of the inmates.
Thank you for such an eye-opening piece, Jerimi. You come up with some of the damnedest stuff sometimes, and this is one of your best works.... speaking out with compassion and caring
Love and
Dee

They're not the same thing, but whatever you can get out of it is fine.

You sound so angry! I read that one part :
These women, 99%, were all raped, abused, under-educated,
and horribly mistreated as children, and this is how we re-pay them?
For doing what they know, doing the predictable, repeating the cycle.
This reminds me of a line by Drew Barrymore in that one movie that is set during the Renaissance time, i dunno It has escaped me, but anyway, tis true they act on what they're taught but nonetheless have to take responsibility for their actions even though they've had A terrible life. I'm getting a three-day out-of-school-suspension for flipping a teacher off who disrupted our performance in the middle of drama class. Again, HE was wrong to intrude, and I was never taught how to handle anger properly, but I'M still having to pay the price. But I do want to take the challenge.

Brilliant
Awesome. Just amazing. You never cease to surprise me.
A wake up call that everyone should see. Nicely done. And I might just try writing a prisoner or two. This deserves some mega-applause. Keep spreadin' the word. God bless and write on, Sim.
