I CANNOT BEAR TO HEAR PEOPLE CRYING IN PAIN.
I CANNOT CREATE/BREATHE/LIVE
IN AN ENVIRONMENT
WHERE YOU CAN HEAR
OR
ARE TOLD OF STORIES OF
WOMEN
SHRIEKING, CRYING, SCREAMING
IN
PAIN
WITH THEIR BODIES BOUND
AND
WHIPS LASHING ON FLESH
AND
IT
IS
CALLED
“MY
ART
FORM”.
PEOPLE WHO HEAR AND ARE HERE
IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD!
WE
DID NOT CONSENT
TO
PSYCHIC INJURY.
THOSE WHO HEAR ARE MADE HELPLESS.
THEY ARE NOT PROTECTED NOR UPHELD.
BLACK AND BLUE
BODY+SOULS
NOT DISCLOSED IN THE HANDBOOK.
NOT DISCLOSED IN THE SELECTION COMMITTEE.
NOT TOLD IN THE TOUR.
SNOWED!
IF YOU KNOW AND WERE TOLD, and DID NOTHING:
YOU ARE COMPLICIT
TO THE
PSYCHIC DAMAGES + INJURIES
OF
OTHERS.
YOU ARE A SHEEP.
SAFE WORD:
TAKE IT AWAY FROM HERE.
NO WOMAN NO CRY
+
WHY WERE YOU COMPLICIT
WHEN YOU WERE TOLD
OF THE
WOUNDING
OF THE
NON-CONSENTING
OTHERS WHO SUFFER?
+
WHY WAS THIS PERSON
GIVEN A “PASS” AT EVERY LEVEL?
+
HOW DARE YOU!
A NEIGHBORHOOD IS A COMMUNITY
WHERE PEOPLE ARE:
LISTENED TO,
CARED FOR,
RESPECTED,
DIGNIFIED,
FEEL SAFE
IN BODY AND SOUL
SEEN AS EQUALS WITH EQUAL RIGHTS.
A COMMUNITY
IS A
SOCIAL CONTRACT
OF
CIVILITY.
NOT DOMINANCE AND SUBJUGATION
NOR
ARROGANCE AND HUMILIATION
– THAT IS TYRANNY.
YES, I AM ANGRY, VERY ANGRY.
I AM HUMAN.
I CANNOT BEAR TO HEAR PEOPLE CRYING IN PAIN.
SHRIEKS OF PAIN ARE NOT PLEASURABLE FOR ME.
I DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS.
I NEED MY SOLITUDE TO CREATE!
THE ENVIRONMENT IS NOXIOUS WITH THIS DARK ENERGY
– NEGATING SERENITY, SAFETY, SOLITUDE.
WHY DID YOU DO NOTHING?
AND, YES, YOU WERE SNOWED,
MADE COMPLICIT
AND
ULTIMATELY CONDONE?
“There is just to much heartache
around woman and men
on the subject of abuse
sexual exploitation
and
objectification…”
WE DO NOT WANT TO BE COMPLICIT, CONDONE + CELEBRATE THIS HEARTACHE.
THIS ENERGY DRIVES ITSELF DEEP INTO THE SOUL AND THE LIMBIC BRAIN.
A HUMAN, WHO IS NOT CONSENTING, ARE FORCED TO DIS-ASSOCIATE
FROM THE REALITY OF HEARING WOMEN
CRYING,
BEING BEATEN,
FOR PLEASURE
– SHRIEKING, CRYING OUT IN PAIN.
IT IS NOT MUSIC FOR THE NON-CONSENTING INDIVIDUALS WHO HEAR.
WE ARE MADE COMPLICIT.
HUMANS ARE HARD WIRED TO BE EMPATHETIC.
PERIOD.
NO ACTION. DO NOTHING.
” THE BYSTANDER EFFECT”:
MARVIN GAYE WAS SENSUOUS.
ROBIN THICKE’S “BLURRED LINES” IS NOT,
IT IS A COMMODITY WITH THE MESSAGE THAT WOMEN ALWAYS MEAN YES.
WOMEN AS COMMODITY:
PLIABLE, SUBMISSIVE,
CLAY THAT CAN BE SHAPED
BY SOMEONE ELSE’S WILL.
GUTTING.
DISEMPOWERING.
I DO NOT ENJOY LISTENING TO DOGS’ HOWLS
WHILE BEING WHIPPED.
DO YOU?
I DO NOT CONSIDER THE VICIOUS BEATING ANOTHER HUMAN/ANIMAL AN ART FORM?
DO YOU?
I DO NOT CONSIDER THE TORTURE
AT
GUANTANAMO BAY
AN “ART FORM”
– THE ACTIONS WERE KEPT FROM THE PUBLIC EYE
KNOWING REVULSION WOULD BE HUMANITY’S RESPONSE.
SIMPLY KNOWING
THE MULTIPLE LEVELS OF ACTIONS
OF HUMAN’S INHUMANITY
TO OTHER HUMANS
DOES NOT EVOKE BEAUTY FOR ME.
DOES IT TO YOU?
IS IT A PRIVATE SEX LIFE THAT ANYONE CAN HEAR?
TURN UP THE MUSIC LOUD
IS THAT THE SIGNAL/ PRELUDE
OF VIOLENCE
TO WOMEN AS SEX OR AS ART?
WHY IS THE
“ART FORM”
THAT NOONE CAN SEE
-PRIVATE
AND
IS NOT LIST PUBLICALLY?
WHERE IS THE “ART FORM’S” WEBSITE?
WHAT IS BEAUTIFUL FOR YOU
TO WATCH, LISTEN TO + TO DO?
WHY IS THERE NOT AN OPEN DIALOGUE OF THIS “ART FORM”?
REPRISAL?
AND, THE USUAL TURNING THE TABLE ON THE COMPLAINANT
AND
SHAMING THEM
– TYPICAL MANIPULATION/MANEUVER
AND
EXAMPLE
OF
DOMINANCE AND SUBJUGATION.
I LOVE MAPPLETHORPE’S WORK.
HIS WEAVE OF EROTIC AND CLASSICISM AND HOMOSEXUALITY.
THE BEAUTY AND THE CONCEPT WAS THE ART.
The Milgram experiment
on obedience to authority figures
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1zlCybdvdg
which measured the willingness
to obey an authority figure
who instructed them to perform acts
that conflicted with their
personal conscience.
Pain is more intense when inflicted on purpose
HUMANS ARE HARD WIRED TO BE EMPATHETIC.
PERIOD.
HUMANITY RISES!
FRESHDRIEDBLOODIAMHUMAN CATHERINE L. JOHNSON 2013
I DO NOT WANT TO BE PSYCHICALLY INFLICTED
WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE OF THIS
“ART FORM”
ANY FURTHER.
IT HAS STEEPED MY DREAMS.
IT HAS RIPPED APART MY CREATIVE PROCESS.
IT HAS STOLEN MY SAFETY + MY FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION.
AND, IT IS TOLERATED, CONDONED,
IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD
AND
BY THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
SHEEP.
Apparently, this person
has come to believe
that this practice in a community
where children live
of this person’s “art form”
is
above the law and the by-laws,
and
has some exceptional privilege
to disregard
the rights of others.
WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?
I CAN NO LONGER BREATHE WHERE I LIVE,
BECAUSE NOW I KNOW WHEN
THE MUSIC TURNS UP LOUD…
I SEE THE COLLATERAL DAMAGE ON MY NEIGHBORS
AS THEY HEAR WOMEN CRY OUT IN PAIN
IN THIS PERSON/PRACTITIONER’S
LOCKED ROOM.
THE COMPLAINANTS ARE MADE HELPLESS.
HUMANITY IS HARD WIRED
TO RESPOND TO DISTRESS.
THE COMPLAINANTS ARE NAMED
THE VICTIMIZER!
SHAMED. BLAMED.
AS A CHILD,
I HEARD THE SHRIEKING CRIES OF CHILDREN
IN EXCRUCIATING PAIN.
PAIN DELIVERED BY PRACTITIONERS
WHILE I LIVED IN THE HOSPITAL.
HELPLESS.
WE WERE GIVEN DEMEROL IF WE WEPT WITH THEM.
I WOULD SING TO THEM WHILE MY BODY WAS FROZEN,
UNABLE TO MOVE,
IN A BODY CAST.
I WOULD SING.
AND, I WOULD TAP OUT MY TEARS
WITH MY INDEX FINGER.
CATHERINE L. JOHNSON 
And the arrogant presume from others the accommodation of their insolence. That is a darkness long-enjoyed and void of Life. Expand illumination until no shadows remain.
YESYESYESYESYESYES as a GOSPEL song.
CALL + RESPONSE.
Thank YOU for your naming.
Break THROUGH.
