.:Holy Cost (What The LORD Allows):.
Did Mama get bullied cause she weren’t his cow?
Did Daddy get pimped cause he weren’t his pal?
Did things run amuck that The LORD allowed?
Too many Devils; each of ‘em foul
Though before The Middle Passage allot went wild
Slavery’s Lawless Order but a single file
From ‘cane through to cotton to shuffling ‘cross tile
Kidnap Business?
It’s a whole ~nut~her~style
Folk as buy products;
They been bought for a while
Those bids on the grid kept folk in a pile
See for yourself; it ain’t been fine
Few billion heads and still doing time
Who remembers best? Remembers it foul
Each devilish beast gets to feast on the crowd
As Millennial Hucksters keep blasting it loud
So the holy cost; goes round & round
Quite the senseless how we still get down
How every other hue~man smiles with a frown
The cruelest cliché and it’s still around
While correction only matters when the
lost gets found.
