..a riot platoon
Start the riots
Do bomb squads
Make the bombs?

Newton's 3rd Law: Aftermath
Newton's 3rd law has
happened due to the aftermath
"For every reaction there's
An opposite but equal reaction"
Frenzy came and now
we wear masks
Children and people with
breathing problems are
exempt but some people
lie because they don't
want to wear masks
This will never end
Until the Goverments
Find the cure/vaccine
or give us the cure/vaccine
happened due to the aftermath
"For every reaction there's
An opposite but equal reaction"
Frenzy came and now
we wear masks
Children and people with
breathing problems are
exempt but some people
lie because they don't
want to wear masks
This will never end
Until the Goverments
Find the cure/vaccine
or give us the cure/vaccine

maskparade
We sing, but oh the clay is vile/Beneath our feet, and long the mile;/But let
the world dream otherwise,/We wear the mask!” —Paul Laurence Dunbar
this masquerade, a mask parade
burns deep beneath the skin
where generations of lost nations
hide the truth within.
confederates who underrate
the victims of hate crimes
fake monuments make sentiments
that mock the halls of time.
berlinear falls of wicked walls
collapse the status quo
and to the pride on which it rides
deal skin-scorn one death blow.
corona-v no revelry ...
the world dream otherwise,/We wear the mask!” —Paul Laurence Dunbar
this masquerade, a mask parade
burns deep beneath the skin

“Testing” ... A Poem written by Big Virge 18/6/2020
Testing Testing One Two Three !
that’s right, keep your distance, about six feet !
Form a queue please, and keep it orderly,
because we’re testing to see
if any of you have the Corona Disease !”
That’s Right It’s TESTING ...
That’s Needed Like Lessons ... ?!?
For Corona To LESSEN ... !?!
That’s What Their Expressing ...
And Constantly STRESSING ... !!!
These Ladies And Gents ...
In ... Governments ...
Across The World ...
But As Time Unfurls ...
Will Testing Be ...
What Defeats This...

Masking the Problems of Medicine
These are all non-COVID
next to this COVID patient
They will open
another wing soon
Too late for these
who will be on a vent
like that man
who came for stroke
but stayed to get
C-19 and a vent...
and that new wing
for non-COVID
...will be where we track
our dirty shoe covers
because nobody
even has the energy
to follow protocol
in understaffed
underfunded hospitals
This is class warfare
at its most subtle
passing the buck ...

Color Blind
there’s is no
black
or
white
only shades
of
flesh
all lives matter
because all lives
are African
unless you don’t
believe in the
tree of evolution
then you’re
just
undereducated
(but you’re still African)

A Life of Uncertainty
Just shaking my head
Mixed voices
Different opinions
Gossipers
Church goers
Politicians
Saying this
Saying that
The world is coming to an end
No wait
This is the new beginning
Protesters becoming
Bowling pins
Screaming
Holding signs
Black Lives Matter
While destroying
Outside scenic views
Confederate monuments
Banning a flag
Changing of names
Will stop racism
Hiding the past
Will only repeat itself
And some people
No longer say
Master bedroom ...

Addressing the Left-wing motto: "Who can we blame next?"
Six generations ago, at the age of 22, my ancestor enlisted in the military (on the C.S.A. side). He was NOT a slave-holder and (as family documents and his diary recorded) felt “The belief that one man may hold dominion over another without that man’s consent is an abomination against the Lord and all his teachings.” A neighbor’s letter recounted my ancestor’s sharing lessons from “his Testament”--- likening the slavery of his times to the enslavement of the Jews and God’s terrible wrath brought down upon the Egyptians. THOSE principles of his are what make me proud of my ancestor, not...

The Billion Faces of Jesus
Touch not a one
some are women
some are Asian women
nailed, kneeling, blessing
coming in the clouds of glory
These are works of art
others died to sculpt or paint
in quiet liberty
Shall we now deface
their memories?

Radical Flakism Coup at Schools
Not a political party play
Nobody feels okay
this is f’n cray-cray
New odious library
of new national
identity theft
for children
to browse
New-new history
Pedagogy of pedigooglers
facade of pedigrees
Watch board meetings
curriculum and policy
shaming you
for critical thinking
Rational thought and
questions equal
problematic
(meaning heresy)
Oh, and
check your patriotism
...it equals
white supremacy

Inequality
What constitutes as new grounds?
When are we doomed to repeat the past?
These catastrophes happening
Aren’t a matter of happenstances,
It’s a war being waged by the classes.
Can you blame us though,
For being born into a system of lame
Institutionalized poverty and racism?
No.
This is a first world country,
Running laps across the hemisphere,
Yet somehow, and let me make this clear,
Fifty individuals are allowed to determine how the other seven billion people feel?
Truth be told,
What the fuck can...
