the Hand that makes the lily bloom
It is not the man who has little, but he who desires more,
that is poor."—Lucius Annaeus Seneca
behold the lily in the swamp,
how pure and bright she blooms!
unfettered by stark stench and muck,
great stature she assumes.
her litheness every eye consumes,
queens emulate her pluck;
her elegance stirs brides and grooms
to light their wedding lamp.
behold the poor man in his dirt, ...
that is poor."—Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Justice
Blacks get more time than whites.
The police love to read our rights.
The justice system is so damn dirty.
Damn, they don't show any mercy.
They're supposed to serve and protect.
But yet they don't give us any respect.
Because it's the color of my skin.
Like being black is an awful sin.
They say we gotta vote for change.
These laws gotta be rearranged.
Living in this world we're not equal.
We live in a world full of evil.
I'm not doing this for likes and views.
Blacks being killed is always in the news.
When...

Self Provided Philosophical Fellatio
Am I normal?
Am I regular?
Am I different?
Am I special?
How do I fit in?
Where do I fit in?
Who are my people?
Where is my home?
These are all questions that in this modern age of a more liberal society all young adults are almost required to ask themselves. Everywhere, people always want to know where they fit in and how they are special. But the problem with this progression fueled thought process where we give people more and more reins and labels to control themselves and live their own lives, as they...

Observing Things
Did humans through Caine and Abel introduce ourselves to death
Will we begin burning skeletons when there's no rain forest left
We're cutting down bodies at the same rate as trees
Wars leaving us on the battlefields like dead fucking leaves
Someone dreamt to build industry all along waterways, a poisonous dream
This dream was a nightmare declaring death to everything down stream
Logging again adding to the destruction, poisoning rivers and creeks
The eroding land left behind is still reaching it's peak
Topsoil washing away carrying with it...

Early Edition
Am I, my own worst enemy
Because I'm believing what the news is telling me
Once an entity within itself, protected by the constitution
Then shitted on the public at large and then joined the institution
Shit getting pimped by every politician with or seeking an office
Each telling the same fucking lie and hoping that you don't notice
They say, "climate change is just bullshit about as real as planet X
If we listen to the scientist on this, who knows what's next"
They have collectively joined forces, although they deny it to the...

Fat Cats
Fat cats, your pockets shouldn't be bulging like that
Clear your minds by giving it all back
Fat cat, how much do you need before it stops making sense
Being broke and needy are no longer your defense
To see the world I climbed atop a garbage heap
There were so many below me screaming for just a peep
From here upon my throne made of trash
I could see the line where our two worlds clashed
The have-nots were rebelling, the illusion was fading fast
The fat cats had depended on an illusion that simply couldn't last

Neutrality
Isn't it funny that man searches for a better more peaceful place to live
When it's man that wars and takes abusingly all that this planet gives
Isn't it funny how we drain this planet and continue to laugh
How we take all for ourselves after promising each other half
Given a gift that only should comes in second to one
The love that we should share for each other is where it all begun
To take nothing and explode it into an infinite number of pieces
With life continuing to be formed from the energy it releases
Charged particles bonded...

Matrixing
To bludgeon me, shoot me, doesn't end me
The cracking of the flesh releases the spirit introducing me
To what really is instead of this warped version of reality
The freeing of the spirit allows me to see, that we're all shackle, thinking we're free
Garbage piled miles high all around
The walls of your imagined Jericho long ago came tumbling down
The master program was attacked by a trojan
That keeps us seeing what isn't there again and again
We fight each other over nothing, because nothing is all that we know
Those that have...

Caged Heat
Can you imagine walking among the carnage of reality
Your destiny was to discover that there is no such a thing as infinity
To know there's a beginning and end, I've mentally closed the loop
Into a Mobius strip containing time and space riding on truth
Lies and everything corrupt is simply negative energy
My dragon has been well fed off of those that defy me
Never mind whatever deity you bow to, be they of darkness or light
I am the only one left of my race and I must show my might
Invading Nebulars and killing stars before they're born ...

Mine Mine Mine!!!
A balding commie acting all swasty
Haha, it wasn’t that long ago that he was considered swarthy
He went all Darwin and genetics trying to lighten up his seed
When Yakub alone experimented with lightening the breed
The Cheddar Man followed the ice as it receded north
The reflection of the sun off of the ice brought the blue eye forth
Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians, Swedes, and Germans
Were unwanted, swarthy in complexion, according to Ben Franklin not Peewee Herman
They were a danger to New England’s whiteness, considered the...

Stockholm Economics
So, I be watching the news and shit
Now before you judge me, I know why many of you don’t
Y’all say it’s depressing, nothing on it of real importance, and you’re absolutely right
Case in point, last night I was watching some Daytime news, that was local hometown reporting
The journalist looked up from the desk with intense emotion in his face like;
“Top Stories tonight include: A labor union is asking for wage negotiations from a top restaurant chain.”
“A nation is on the brink of an invasion by a foreign power while dealing with its own civil war.” ...

We Are The People
Racial Discrimination
Bigotry it’s sad correlation
Such an unpleasant topic since the beginning of creation
Even the narration
Has been society’s own downfall castration
These words have never gotten the props of a backseat stagnation
To despise coloration of one’s skin is a mental sickness infestation
No jest or reasons for this unfair formulation
The ancestry history of blacks caught, and netted
Future landed to be sweated
Savagely molested
American is still indebted ...
