Change Of Possession
Chock full in their rhymes are chimes about homicide
Out of their minds, not realizing that it's fratricide
Assisted genocide designed to stop the rise of a Black Messiah
So many Judas, truth is that we're under constant fire
Wish I could inspire a change in the game to stop the fumbling
We're constantly losing possession of lives and it's demoralizing
Downright depressing how we're declining with each buck
The sound of the weapon as more melanin gets chucked
I'm stuck with a bucket of fucks that I philanthropically give
I fear that I may become niggardly because caring is rather expensive
Labor intensive on the physical, mental and emotional capital
Fleeting in feeling is he that proceeds to be stoical & apathetical
I've got to be mathematically geometrical about this hypotenuse
Before the cerebral screws that I still have come completely loose
Sometimes it seems of little use to cope by hanging onto ailing hope
As the youth and blue troops keep dangling more fruits from ropes

Author's Note
Found out this morning that a young man that I know is fighting for his life in the ICU after being shot in his neck. This World seems to be so hopeless. Mass shootings, police sanctioned murders, hue on hue crimes. It's all a repetitive cycle. The powers that be have us so at odds with each other over trivial things that this is never going to end until humanity reaches its demise.

I have struggled with the concept where have we went wrong my King, I am twenty-eight, and to hear my older peers speak of the struggles for equality they had to fight for is heart wrenching at times, however, they struggled in union, they fought in solidity to give you and I better odds as our culture progressed, years later, we look down not at hands that has prospered, but at hands that holds guns instead of diplomas, hands that hold bullets instead of jobs, hands that hold time wrapped around cell bars. as an ex ER Critical Care/Trauma Nurse I have seen the devastation of gun violence and it’s not a pretty sight, for anyone’s eyes to bear, mainly when parents are screaming after lives are suddenly taken in senseless and random acts of violence, which still happens on our streets here today. Where do we go from here my poet, it appears, no matter how many speeches great leaders preach, no matter how many pews churches fill up on Sunday, the messages are just not getting through the masses, and then we blame the boys in blue when they point their guns at us and shoot to kill, then we all huddle together and march in streets, how, why when we are so quick to turn our weapons on each other.
Black Wall Street was the last example of an exceptionally purpose/goal of what we can inspire to achieve, when we bring out resources together but that is now history. In addition, I do hope this individual, your friend makes a full and speedy recovery, Enjoy your day to the fullest
