Hashtags & Bodybags
Don't want an octothorpe preceding my name
Being a hashtag at the end of my game
Fifteen minutes of fame and some outrage
Then it's on to the next on the next page
Don't want a t-shirt bearing my likeness
Never to be seen again like the loch ness
I'd rather be blessed with reaching old age
Instead of a victim of another's rage

In the age of the monetization of BMD {black male death}

It's a crazy age were living in...
One where they can literally overwrite you...
Like the taking down of statues...
The politics aside...
When I saw that I just saw...
The individuals erasing the thing will be erased like dust on the statue they are taking down
for a force that doesn't care about them...
That same force that monetizes misery...
We need individuals like yourself...
Then maybe the hashtag producers will be in bodybags... :p
(Ive got duct tape and a shovel...)

Eight lines of universal truth, my King to make one ponder and to take into consideration, in this day and time we must all be weary in choices that shape our thought process to live another day or uphold the regality of anger in the moment where we will never see another day in time, a very intellectual ink spill.
Enjoy your weekend in all you do and be safe in your daily travels

Damn, that was insightful and true Damon. It really is a scary thought. Reaching old age and wisdom really is a blessing.
Great work.
Great work.
