Cross the tracks


Long-haired hippies and Afro Blacks
All get together across the tracks
And you don't stop - keep on
Long-haired hippies and Afro Blacks
All get together and make deep tracks
For the hip hop - keep on

Vom 16. Juni 1972 bis zum 9. Februar 1973 war Ulrike Meinhof im 'Toten Trakt' der Vollzugsanstalt Ossendorf
Als der Öffentlichkeit bekant wurde, dass sie einer totalen akustischen Isolation unterlag,
Versicherten die Behörden es gebe keinen 'Toten Trakt'
Während sie allein in ihrer Zelle saß, schrieb sie ihre Empfindungen nieder:

"Das Gefühl, es explodiert einem der Kopf
Das Gefühl, die Schädeldecke müsste eigentlich zerreisen, abplatzen
Das Gefühl, es würde einem das Rückenmark ins Gehirn gepresst
Das Gefühl, die Zelle fährt
Man wacht auf, macht die Augen auf: Die Zelle fährt
Nachmittags, wenn die Sonne rein scheint, bleibt sie plötzlich stehen
Man kann das Gefühl des Fahrens nicht absetzen
Rasende Aggresivität, für die es kein Ventil gibt
Das ist das Schlimmste
Klares Bewusstsein, dass man keine Überlebenschance hat
Völliges Scheitern, das zu vermitteln
Das Gefühl, Zeit und Raum sind ineinander verschachtelt"

Als Mumia Abu-Jamal am 9. Dezember 1981 festgenommen
Und des Mordes am Polizeibeamten Daniel Faulkner angeklagt wurde,
War er als bekannter afroamerikanischer Journalist in Philadelphia tätig
Und politisch aktiv
Er schrieb:

"Meine Aufzeichnungen entstehen in Pennsylvanias größtem Todestrakt
In der staatlichen Strafvollzugsanstalt Huntington
Seit Sommer 1983 lebe ich in dieser dumpfen Todeszone
Schon seit mehreren Jahren stehe ich unter verschärftem Disziplinarvollzug,
Weil ich zu meinem Glauben stehe und vor allem weil ich mich weigere mein Haar zu schneiden
Deswegen wurden mir auch Telefongespräche mit meiner Familie verboten
Vorübergehend hat man mich auch mit Handschellen gefesselt,
Weil ich mich weigerte gegen meine Überzeugungen zu handeln
Das Leben hier schwankt zwischen den Extremen öde und bizarr
Im Gegensatz zu anderen Gefangenen können die Gefangenen im Todestrakt ihre Zeit nicht absitzen
Am Ende des Tunnels erwartet uns nicht die ersehnte Freiheit, sondern Vernichtung
Insofern gibt es für viele hier keinerlei Hoffnung"

Long-haired hippies and Afro Blacks
All get together across the tracks
And you don't stop - keep on
Long-haired hippies and Afro Blacks
All get together and make deep tracks
For the hip hop - keep on

Long-haired hippies and Afro Blacks
All get together across the tracks
And you don't stop - keep on
Long-haired hippies and Afro Blacks
All get together and make deep tracks
For the hip hop - keep on
