A New Reality Is Better Than a New Movie! BY AMIRI BARAKA

this poem makes me think that is about how real do you think your life is? like we cannot scape what life has for us or what we have done. no matter what you do you wont be able to scape "even snorts of
100% pure cocaine cant cancel the cold cut of impending death to this society". it is why it makes me think that whatever we do one day we must pay. that all those movies have something real but something which is not like tornedos we do have but is even worst than movies. in movies people scape but not in reality. everything in life is about the money if you have your good; like if you have a company your good

  1. Generally on the right track, here; this is an indictmant of capitalist/materialist culture and a call for socialist redistribution--note the imagery dealing with the worker in a capitalist society, and the imagery that with great dark humor and sarcasm pretty much lay out how it all works, while hollywood haks imagine how it will all go (i.e., end) in an entertaining bang--Baraka might have a different kind of exlposion in mind (remember the final Hughes' "Harlem"), but what comes next (the "coming attraction," so to speak) is not nihilistic, but hopeful and soulful (see imagery of last stanza)
