Fired Up!!

Winnie Mandela got fired from the revolution

today. Her husband fired her above

charges of bribe-taking,

insubordination, charges of insulting

The Queen of England,

whose tourist photo palace was at no time

bombed,

whose tutored childrens' grown up matinee,

soap opera, lives were not at any time

threatened

whose womanhood, whose humanity was not at any time

violated, who was not at any time strapped and

tortured

to stay

awake for a week by dint of electric shock,

charged through static hate, conducted by her have

urine,

who not at any time had to take stock of fire-arms

take charge of a national desert a struggle of millions,

and stay

beautiful, giving, giving, giving

her smiling, radiant defiant persona to a revolution



for a quarter of a hundred The Queen

who not at any time raised her own children or gentlemanly [i]or[/i] lady-like white gloved

fist in the face of an automatic

weapons wielding police charge,

without the nearness of princely husbanding.

Amandla! The Queen

who not at any time mothered her people

with the life-current and blue milk

of a national labor, birth, and after-birth.

Winnie Mandela, who, while pregnant

with a fresh nation,

lullabyed the fetus with:

We're fired up!

Won't take it any more!!

We're fired up!

Won't take it any more!!!

But the regulation is formed;

our aged noble, prize-winning Warrior Prince

had high tea with the Queen

who later left for London

and a diadem made of melted Krugerrands,

the petrified tears of warrior/women workers,

the jeweled sweat beads of his nation's minors.

Winnie Mandela was fired from

the revolution today for rebelliousness,

impropriety, for influence

peddling, causing embarrassment,

for doing what

she had been asked, told, inspired to do

for a quarter of a hundred
