EVE of DESTRUCTION
FROM GENESIS TO CURRENT AFFAIRS
The flashing back to zero was a booted Jack for Eva
with people disappearing sometimes millions from the scene
the refugees were homeless but was just a game for Nero
who looked from safer distances away from all the screams
I wondered when the fairies and the angels got together
would practice for the play-off as an Armageddon team
defeat the lizard crazies who’d usurped the peaceful garden
by calling out supporters in the growing tragedy
with missiles fired moronically confirming vicious misprints
they scattered middle-eastern turf, explosions maiming many
and lucky were the innocents who died outright on holiday
as arbitration failed again and taxes rose a penny
this upped the shares of companies who traded in the weaponry
as angel-fairy-light-brigades came charging o’er the hill
and as the bitter battle raged they called it intervention by
the old-time god of chocolate who offered addicts pills
and this is what the history-bits and all the ancient manuscripts
passed down the generations tried so hard to tell us plain
‘the power is within you as you link to higher forces
and end the mad controller’s rule, bring peace on earth again
yes, end your mind-controller’s rule, bring peace on earth again’.
It's Time
Say it loud, say it proud
Let me hear a f*** yeah if you're black or you're brown
White America steady tryna take off your crowns
They stay shooting you down
Blood in the streets
Too many bodies to count
They try to dim your shine and brainwash young minds
But united we stand and scream for justice
It's Time
Rise up and fight the power
Every minute, every hour
And we won't stop till we overthrow their corrupt towers
Take back what's ours
It was never theirs in the first place
They stole it from the first race to inhabit this land, we're the immigrants of these broken states
I may have a white face, but my heart is every color of skin found in this earth space
So dont you dare group me with those disgraces
Evil parasites that continue to live off of the Black race
Killing for profit
I know we can stop it
We're fighting till it changes or they nail the lid on that coffin
I can't breathe

Now blood in their stead
‘One Nation’ dead.

Now that this competition is near its end I want to thank everyone for their contributions. Having to live through this, your contributions have brought comfort to my soul.
I may post some photos I took of my neighborhood in the aftermath of the riots, on this thread, later today.
I may post some photos I took of my neighborhood in the aftermath of the riots, on this thread, later today.
St. Paul is the sister city of Minneapolis which is why they are often referred to as the Twin Cities. To demonstrate the racial diversity of my city the photo I'm posting is of my nephew and his wrestling team.
Taken last year, he and his kids won the city conference championship. My nephew is biracial; native American/Caucasian. Only 23, it's hard to distinguish him from the group. He's the jerk in the lying in the foreground pointing his finger.
Revelation Of Denial
Wrapped in camoflague, saturated
with essential oils, songs of freedom conceal the dirge.
Asleep, in my ivory colored palace,
under my crisp white duvet, my spirit
is quickened, by chaotic energy.
With force I lie prostrate, in humble solitude where discernment speaks
A lashing surrounds my head, as
sounds of passion and reason, divaricate lies and excuses.
Unstoppable AM/FM vibrational quidnunc feeds the tractable child
Questions rise, tossed away like
sticks and stones, towering over
voices that take shape, many
turn away from the sounds of
truth
This super structure created wears
the face of implicit bias.
Enormous and undeniable it stands before me, yet greater is the ignorance within. that denies
it's prescence
