Racism
Through out existence there has always been this void
And for whatever reason most manage not to see it and even avoid
It contains all that the universe has decided to discard
The vilest of essence, the darkest with no regards
In this void it's like a pit in space and time
I was ensnared by it's beauty, by both heart and mind
Although shapeless I saw it with form
The frigidity of it's heart became my norm
I reveled in it's darkness savoring the tranquility of death
The life that I had lived convinced me that this was the only...

This Land is My Land
everybody's on something
redneck assholes acting like they're the victim
bitches don't know about struggle
yet talk about it like it's cool
ever been hated just cuz?
my skin is dark
go ahead and stop reading now
the ones that think I don't have a voice
cops know it was the brown man
the one who stole the box of gum
the one who is selling drugs
I just shrug it off
nah, I'm just here to fuck white ladies
so much shit talk
makes me want to sail away
find an island alone
with just me and a bunch of pretty girls ...

SHOTS FIRED TO MANY TIMES
Through images seen from a video recorded live in living color seen to many times in real life time for how many more young mens and boys, have to die before things even get better for how many more have to run and duck and hide, from those that are suppose to protect and serve the public those who stand behind the blue wall of silents called justice.
For as each event unfolds...

With A Tight Rope Noose
My blues they come from those cotton days
Black slaves bought by southern racist ways
Cruel white leaders, and if our lips were to loose
This would be our ending with a tight rope noose
Simple chords, with lyrics of choice
A wealthy white boy searching for voice
Colored teaching whites, but ends with abuse
Everything ending with a tight rope noose
I brought my blues from the cotton days
Black folks appalled by others racist ways
Country of white leaders, if our lips were to loose
Everything ending with a tight rope...
Black slaves bought by southern racist ways
Cruel white leaders, and if our lips were to loose
This would be our ending with a tight rope noose
Simple chords, with lyrics of choice
A wealthy white boy searching for voice
Colored teaching whites, but ends with abuse
Everything ending with a tight rope noose
I brought my blues from the cotton days

Country of white leaders, if our lips were to loose

thoughts and prayers
edit 1: with thanks to all
thoughts and prayers
it is said
the meek shall inherit the earth
but the pious
oh how they pray
that same god they confess
to each saturday
before partaking of
body and blood on sunday
fails to notice how wafer-thin
their mask of humility
nor that he'll spot
in genuflection's stoop
the indecent caress of their piece
carried secretly without proper permit
& the turgid little hope
burning just below their heart

Perspectives of Race
Born of blood, raised in flesh
Somehow we seem to have lost touch
Forgetting that all our blood is red
seems to have mislead most of us
Imagine the skin of all humans being clear
We can see our organs, blood, and condition
The only difference between us is fear
Everything else is in the same position
Now imagine we're centuries in the future
and the aliens of outer-space have become friends
All our concepts of religion, race, and war
are crushed in our growth and raised common sense
