Greatness
Great potential resides in every human being
The tragedy of the 21st century is
So few will achieve it

Same Tree
Kill each other over our religions
end other lives for what we believe
we've taken men
hung them right up there
for the color of their skin
right up in our tree
that tree we carved our names into
heart with an arrow
shot clean through
hate them for what they believe in
hates us back for the very same
take these guns onto the fields
our blood runs onto its leaves
those leaves that fell so beautifully in autumn
this cool crisp morning won't let us...

Blame me when it's not up to me
No power, I'm just as helpless as all we
I never wished the world, just home and family
They say guilt doesn't help them, my second gravity
I deserve a castle as little as they do casket
I can't fix things, I only exist
Spent my last as my next wish
I'm sorry my life brings you grief, I thank the universe and know life's brief
I'm not the problems nor the solutions face
Give me mercy for what I got or it matters all the same
No power, I'm just as helpless as all we

Paper Chasing
Bird in the hand don't stand a chance
when the two in the bush waving money
Damn politicians are never there when you need them
Dagnabbit!!
That Governor Abbott
Saw a dollar
and went to grabbit
Beryl hit Houston while Abbott was gone
No power No water
Texans left on their own
Asian trade junket
Greg's chasin' them bucks
Those who looked to him
now see that "Greg Sucks"
He building walls
Blockn immigrants out
Say Texas got problems
Not the place for handouts ...

deaf, dumb & blind...
are we now to become
no more than yesterday's phantasms?
specters drifting across a barren landscape
too foolish to pay any heed to the errors of our fathers
or the fallout from every previous foul deed
those men who valiantly fought or tragically fell
directed by a madman's selfish hand
where they were gathered
& ruthlessly enslaved
countless numbers completely erased
living now only the nightmares of a few surviving souls
mourning their unforgotten existence
where memories lie buried in unmarked mass graves

this feminine rage
My anger scares you
it's not pretty or delicate
doesn't fit within the fantasy
you've built around me
though I've always been fire
I remind you of your psycho mother
who tried to fell your father with an axe
and blow up his car
after he'd moved on
from their crazy toxic relationship
It doesn't matter that I'm not psychotic
that I've never raised a hand to you
or an axe
or tried to blow up your car
The pitch of my rage rings alarm bells
in your head
and it's easier to throw sand in my...

Anthem for doomed dawn
We are in the spirit of inequality fued
Dreamers didn't have any quality food
See us again maneuvering in solitude
Teach us critiques, keep the similitude
Free us from what you kept us deposited
Getting tired can only serve us pure hatred
Get inspired then you will not get any regret
Getting hired have the cheap labour at best
Getting fired can only pay you when you left
Setting fires across the streets for the unrest
Freedom fighters singing songs of freedom
Freedom fighters in this slogans of freedom ...

Independence
The wind chimes spoke freedom to me
more than fireworks ever could.
The breeze, you see, was liberty
and detonations are no good.
I understand the sacrifice
and the warrior spirit need
since compromise will not suffice
to stop the hateful and their greed.
And though the embers also spoke
about the movement in the air
they said as much about the folk
in exploitation everywhere.
Then south by southeast, each burst flew,
after every exhausted blast,
like a voice, exhaled anew... ...

Independence Day
I.
The kick of equality
across a continent
and a dose of
What. The. Fuck
does not match
the Q&A quiz
I took at 18
when I could finally vote
"What can you not stand, Tammy?"
"Hypocrisy."
Yet -
here it is—mangy hair
matted to the scalp,
shoveling the ground
to bury bones of truth
every passing moment
Its lids barely hang
by the teeth of its skin
blocking its eyesight
to democracy
dragging all that weight
killing off the last...

Real Talk
My people perish for lack of knowledge of self
and our true history is not on their library's shelf
Our modern music misleads our youth
with prevented versions of the truth
So they turn to booze, weed, coke and dope
instead of finding betters ways to cope
Or they join gangs which are our resident evil
and become pawns in our spiritual upheaval
Princes and Principalities are the real puppet masters
and the architects of all man made disasters
I know how difficult it is to "walk the walk"
and that all...

Square One
The darkness is moving across the skies
Baal pulled me by the ear and screamed all of these bitches lied
Just look at the shit that I don't even have to fucking try
The fucking forgotten is returning and evil is back on the rise
All levels of government are broken becoming tokens
Openly showing their greed and you think that they're joking
It isn't just about keeping them poor but and then the poor gives us more
Politics is but one of our tools, no more than art fucking decor
Just choose the fucking topic and we can hit'em where it's...

Love Will Win The Day (Prayers for Orlando)*
Hate wins another round
50 bodies shot dead on the ground
A disgrace to the true believers of the Muslim religion
a message from the devil delivered by a subhuman carrier pigeon
Our hearts today in America are cloudy and gray
but, GOD’s greatest gift-Love will eventually win the day
