CONFLICT & Benjamin Zephaniah - Cut The Crap

'i used to think of Shelley as just another one of those dead white poets who wrote difficult poetry for difficult people, but then I learnt how dedicated he was to justice & the liberation of the poor.'
this short piece that ben wrote for percy is just so fucking sweet.

ps: do yourself a favour & avoid searching for images of benjamin. there's a fucktonne of AI portraits out there & they bear no resemblance whatsoever to the man. my illustrations may not be great shakes, but they look more like him than the GenAI shite.

i like to think that tonight's aston villa win over PSG was for benjamin zephaniah on what would - & SHOULD - have been his 67th birthday.
he was practically perfect in every way - on palestine, non-human animals, the planet, equality & the monarchy - & i know this because he wouldn't have liked anyone holding him in such high esteem.
happy ben day, everyone.
