Jermaine Should Be A Household Name
I watched the television at high noon
Laughed and made mean gestures as that uncouth, Orange buffoon boarded a helicopter and knew that soon WE the people would come together, brave the steel winter’s unforgiving weather, and welcome adults back into the room. YES! We would watch, teary eyed as the racist underbelly of this country, crawling back to hide beneath the rocks and stones, left a country to atone, for this stolen land. America, raise your crimson hands and know you’re not alone. When suddenly... who should step up to the podium, to speak the truth from their heart? An upstart....

I Look At The World (The Higher Road)
I seek to find
the higher road;
in country wide I roam.
But where to find
without bein' blind
a better way to go,
O, a better way to go!
When all around
our dreams lie bound
by fences and corrals;
on paths we walk
comrades who talk
of freer times than now,
O, of freer times than now!
I cannot see
nor feel their pull,
oppressed though they
in joy are masked --
all our wills defy this still:
the better road we lack,
O, the better road we lack!
..... ...
the higher road;
in country wide I roam.
But where to find
without bein' blind
a better way to go,
O, a better way to go!

on paths we walk
comrades who talk
of freer times than now,
O, of freer times than now!
I cannot see

oppressed though they

all our wills defy this still:

Hateful Acts
Anywhere that our hue is in plain view
They'll be many who will hate our crew
What's one to do when hate is worldwide?
No matter the avenue in which you reside
When tired of being viewed as public enemy
From spewing the truth about his hypocrisy
Will there ever be a safe place to call home?
Seems that we must carry ammo & chrome
Our genome inherits pain via epigenesis
Things have been this way since Genesis
Should we resist temps of becoming radical?
Even though we won't receive sabbaticals
We've met...

Insurrection Blues
Thousands of people stormed the Capitol with guns, bombs and zip ties
all bc they believe Trump's voter suppression lies
Hoping to pull off a B&E without any repercussions
about that they needed to have more discussions
Because now they're on the FBI's most wanted list
being arrested even when they physically resist
On the way to jail they wail and moan
about a failed coup attempt in hopes for Biden to be dethroned
These idiots were returning to their Village
to live a life of White Privilege
But Queen Karma...

There's a Blight At The End of The Funnel
AKA: The Decline of The USofA-------& it just might fall
********************
I sup'pose it be said that NoThing lasts For-Ever.
Brings to mind Germany
in the early 1930's
Then, on January 6th, 2021 a.d.
Storm the Capitol. Bust shit up.
Run Amok, as per The Right Run Riot.
Brings to mind Germany
in the early 1930's
Right Run Riot
(The Right Seizes The Right To Run Riot)
(No peaceful protest for Proud Boys, White Supremacy, neo-Nazi assholes). ...

Black & Angry. Sue Me!
Where is all the hate bred from?
Really? Inquiring minds want to know,
Because it seems to me you are the ONLY ones...
Filled to the brim with it red hot hate,
And it’s bottomless
You all are Radical.
As if YOU were not cause of it all,
As if you don’t destroy all that you touch,
As if you don’t conquer, rape and pillage...
You behave as if the offender is Us!
One would think it should be us to be angry,
But it simply is not born and bred in us,
you see...
Even after everything,
After all the pain your kind continues to...

Erace us
Someone tell this racist to erase himself first and let humanity see how to self-destruct his thirst for leaving our planet without being cursed.
Diversity is frontal calamity when observed after birth you see?
Obscene absurdity?
Make notes and tape these words for me.
By design we fail to align along the rail of divine. No training wheels to protect your sacred pride.
Thousands of reasons to slit achilles heels with this lack of light.
Where did our sanity flee to?
Fractured to infinite pieces while scattered among infinite species...
