Comic Book Movie Blues

Image result for images of dick tracy
I have seen them
from the start
and most of the first
comic books I read
first hand
then threw in the trash
as they were one
time entertainment

Overtime the genre
changed to be serious
entertainment
and now social
commentary
of the first kind
up there with
Gullivers Travils
and to Kill
a Mocking bird

Get Serious
we may have a comic
book president
but if we have a comic
book culture
the Samuri
are going to 
dominate
and
Me Too will
transform to 
a love hotel
where 
every resident
pleges
I love you
long time
motel

The Hype over
the Black Panther
makes me want to 
watch this picture
as it apparently
deals with great
history

Fact is when
Europeans came to
Africa the people
where living
in stone age culture
when they left 
technology was
left behind and
the stone age
took over
the stone age
did not end
due to lack 
of stones
and stone
age culture
did not die
due to that
fact

The great thing
for stone age
culture is that
its impossible
to kill

Whose fault
the conquer
or the conqured
well lets take
for example
Korea
they have
risen from 
colony to master
in less than a hundred
years
in Africa
we have centuries
of animal chiefs
with thousands
of mares
dictating policy
like its wrong
to bring
children to 
this world

So Black Panther
may be a great movie
I really hope so
because most of what
I see is shit
in the future I predict
good commercials
will get more eyeballs
than the equivialnt
of rap video

Black People
seem to have
so little to celebrate
that a Marvel Comic
brought to life
is a cosmic event

Does any serious culture
celebrate its presentation in
a comic book
Did the Scandivaians
go all ape on Thor?
