Stain Upon Ugly Stain
Get off of my skin, I can't feel!
Shread the flesh from my neck
For those who embrace hate
Have painted my soul blood red
With the memory of lives that matter
And only Justice can wash away the stain
But her robes have been stripped from her body
Set afire in cities of red, white and black
The pain pours from my eyes, blinding me
Yet showing me the plain truth
Of why white must shout BLACK LIVES MATTER
Because so many still cling to a long dead past
Where they believed blacks were not people at all
So the murders...
Shread the flesh from my neck
For those who embrace hate
Have painted my soul blood red
With the memory of lives that matter
And only Justice can wash away the stain
But her robes have been stripped from her body
Set afire in cities of red, white and black
The pain pours from my eyes, blinding me
Yet showing me the plain truth
Of why white must shout BLACK LIVES MATTER
Because so many still cling to a long dead past
Where they believed blacks were not people at all
So the murders...

Paradigm Lost
It didn't take long after the uncorking
of boundless Art'esian aquifer
to fork off in a new streaming
---Literature's flood into Cyber Space
warped into a Dating App
within a fortnite---
an Adult Playground
where "anything goes"
sexual fantasies are shared
under guises of "creative license"
and "Freedom of Speech"
which didn't occur when
our backs were turned
Instead, it happened
when we turned our backs on ...

I Am Not My Body
You cannot say
I am a gender!
I possess
the gender
that serves me
You cannot say
what race I am
I saw the stars
sing together
when the world was made
and I know
you were there
...so DON’T
measure me
by the skin
I didn’t start with
I am a gender!
I possess
the gender
that serves me
You cannot say
what race I am
I saw the stars
sing together
when the world was made
and I know
you were there
...so DON’T
measure me
by the skin
I didn’t start with

Heated
Fuck your quiet detached logic
We are at war
Fuck how loud you think I am
No one ever spoke up for me
I walk on thorns motherfucker
I'm jumpy
I sit on shit men rape for
I'm a target
So what, I spit lightening
And walk like thunder
Face to face with hate
Don't tell me to pipe down
You think you so cool
Try standing in my fire
I talk
You judge
I react
You judge
I cuss
You judge
At least I'm in the fight
Fuck your side-line...
We are at war
Fuck how loud you think I am
No one ever spoke up for me
I walk on thorns motherfucker
I'm jumpy
I sit on shit men rape for
I'm a target
So what, I spit lightening
And walk like thunder
Face to face with hate
Don't tell me to pipe down
You think you so cool
Try standing in my fire
I talk
You judge
I react
You judge
I cuss
You judge
At least I'm in the fight
Fuck your side-line...

Clink Floyd
Pinned beneath the knee of corrupt authority...
The majority of us can no longer breathe...
Please sir please!!...
You better fucking believe we've had enough..!
Your handcuffs and batons that beat innocence to death...
We the people will rest a knee on your necks...
Your guns and your vests...
Lest you forget were trusted to protect...
Your protection is needed no longer...
Your infection has made The People stronger...
This is a protest of morals...
Try and get your knee to the throat of 350 million men an women...
Who...
The majority of us can no longer breathe...
Please sir please!!...
You better fucking believe we've had enough..!
Your handcuffs and batons that beat innocence to death...
We the people will rest a knee on your necks...
Your guns and your vests...
Lest you forget were trusted to protect...
Your protection is needed no longer...
Your infection has made The People stronger...
This is a protest of morals...
Try and get your knee to the throat of 350 million men an women...
Who...

Supremely Annoyed - A Cause That Didn’t Age Well
RBG is dead!
No not RGB -
you can still
see in full color
And full color
Joe Biden
looked slightly
more alive
in 2016
arguing for
respect for
America
and swift filling
of the ninth seat
of the Supreme Court

No, Oppression Role-Reversal ISN’T Cute
Jimmy Kimmel
was like a
trained monkey
for the 2020 Emmys
It’s happened
throughout history
Abdication
of self-respect
freedom of thought
and expression
lethal white guilt
is a real thing
You cannot
escape it
unless you
outright reject it

Warning
That woman that you other men seek, know she has a lion that lies at her feet. Body solid dark and sleek. So don't become a meal for him to eat. He dined at many battles, but never tasted defeat. So don't find your throat locked in his teeth.
If his story is ever told build a camp fire cause it is cold. So take that chance if your that bold. And pray to God to save your soul.
You don't want to hear him roar. Or see his claws rip through that door. Because he is built to last and built for war.
He loves this Queen with all his heart. So don't let that thing...

Crackdown
Trump lies
Says things that aren't true
His base cries
"We won't wear masks for you"
Fox lies
Cause that's just what they do
And Barr says...
Crack down
On Democratic Mayors
Crack down
On black men thinking they are free
Crack down
On our right to protest
Cracked down
Till freedom can't breathe
Crack down
On science and global warming
Crack down
On our right to vote
Crack down
Put women in their places
Crack down
Keep those immigrants on their boats ...

Grieving The Pen
Grieving the pen mourning twilight
my night's seem so long
no more tears of my sick heart
turning my world to dark
in the ossuary of all my fears
grieving the pen mourning twilight.
my night's seem so long
no more tears of my sick heart

Brother's Keeper
I am my brothers keeper
it matters not
your
sex
color
orientation
or
political demeanor;
When we
peacefully dissent,
we march
hand in hand
for each and every soul
"brothers"
one and
all
