Crowd Control
Why would you need to call in the military
Threats of lethal force from a leader that's scary
Smoke grenades going off, followed by a national guard force
Family pitted against family ignorantly protesting the source
This motherfucker was foreseen a revelation ago
He would ride the bitch to power and then pimp hate like a hoe
Buying up all of the bullets, gloating, ready to give the command
But how are they going to enter the battlefield and kill their brother like any other man
There are a lot of mothers and daughters that are fighting...

The World
Worms of lies are living in our guts,
Souls are poisoned with our spurious pride.
Hands are dipped in the pot of treacheries,
And here we are, breeding parasites amongst us!
Pleasure seeks the essence of bodily vengeance,
Our eyes, full of lustful desires and notions.
Surrounded by layers of veil, the world we pretend
Where truth is mystery and death framed.
God has forbidden angels to fall,
He said, “No mercy to humans with no soul.
And my boy, Lucifer! Thou rise again,
Rule this pit and release thy hounds .“ ...

Where truth is mystery and death framed.

And my boy, Lucifer! Thou rise again,

at heart
a righteous machine forged
in love's perfect burn ) -
frantic, delirious
the meat is insane,
a symphony of screaming
confusing language for noise ) -
Heavy Sword
Hungry Money -
cast the shadow of class,
evoke a storm of lust,
lapping noxious tongues ) -
the flesh can only crawl
and beg its way through the soft fog
of a lie -
the private ghost
a prisoner, cold and
mad at heart ).

Cause Up!
Tangible goals make for better gains,
more change,
in the standard of living
of every sentient being,
because praxis
justifies
social action.

Genesis - His End (George Floyd)
the LORD, God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being."
he destroyed a Man
Wrestled Him to the ground from once He came
-(Never mind His name
His skin looks guilty.
I'm threatened by
His complexion)
he Stole His breath of life,
looted from God,
“And the Man became a living being”
no more
he destroyed a Man
Wrestled Him to the ground from once He came
-(Never mind His name
His skin looks guilty.
I'm threatened by
His complexion)
he Stole His breath of life,
looted from God,
“And the Man became a living being”
no more

sarcophagus
pearlscent images of marbles rolling towards each other
An orphanage sings strange nursery rhymes
A parafine lamp casts a hermit light
The unspeakable lulls between us
It hangs heavy like a dark kite
Thunder clouds laugh
In violet violence
I know who you are, I know where you are
says the voice spoken through numb lips
The music is playing
"you are my ghost Jenny Bailey, come dance with me"
One morning I awoke from dark ovaries of rebirth
I was a manifestation. My gift was to polish this mirror ...

A Rant (Not Quite)
A rant
Not quite
But tell me
How does a
A Confederate flag
A Confederate statue
How does it solve racism
By getting rid of it
I'm black
And these items
Are only symbols to me
History
That others want to forget
But this history
Makes me stronger
By knowing how far
My people have come
History
I want my kids to know
But others
Wants to hide
What has already happened
Next
They'll be tearing down
Old plantation homes
It's a symbol
Matter of fact ...

Stormy Weathers
Calm before the storm
If I was Storm from the X-men then I would asend
Thunder and Lighting for they are my superpowers within
I wouldn't have to pretend or try to blend in with those people and places that try to do me in
When they always think that they're are right but 99 point 9 percent of the time you are wrong stop singing your own praises because the elements of the sky could very well be your own demise
I would control the sun rays, the clouds, the wind, and the rain
I have the Almighty Power and more to gain

uncivil war
the cosmos hushed and my mind awoken
the prophets have fallen
the times are telling
I will not usher in the darkness
insidious forsaken in your plight
falter not on the way to salvation
the plagues are upon the land
the climate is changing
the glaciers are melting
plant a seed of hope today
see it trodden upon tomorrow
the wheat is set fire to
inner turmoil and fear rule
trample your brothers
rape your sisters
stop
instead demand change
it starts with you
foundations...
