The Divine Victims
There have been so many battlefields mostly forgotten
there was Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan Libya, among the many
battles and millions of dead civilians some were children
Yemen is a graveyard for children killed by Saudi bombs
Yes, the same nation we do business with.
Myanmar, ethnic cleansing is working overtime, but it is
in the east and nothing to bother about.
We have in Europe a clear-cut war, Russian versus Ukraine
Russians are bad lowbrow people, Ukrainians upright
defending their homeland; nothing could be...

Dangerous Streets
I woke up one day and realized that I had a lot of hate in my heart
It was within my blood, my thoughts weighed heavy on this
As my tears scorched my face, too hot to wipe away
Too angry to justify my reasons for this hate
So therefore I picked up this smile
And I placed it upon my face
Though my eyes spoke its truth my mouth refused to vocalize
Although my hands wanted to react my arms refused to initiate
Yet still I walked with hate, I wore it, like I wore my flesh
It was me and I was clearly it
I would say that I was taught this hate, or...

Huss Rap
I am trying to get some release
or even some peace
but I only see hating on the increase
Lord save me from the gazpacho police
Do it Lord posthaste
bc I have no time to waste
and all this Discrimination is a disgrace
and uglier that MTG face
Instead of looking at her I would rather get hit with mace
in any case
God, I am hungry and could use a bowl of Bouillabaisse
or even some peace
but I only see hating on the increase
Lord save me from the gazpacho police
Do it Lord posthaste
bc I have no time to waste
and all this Discrimination is a disgrace
and uglier that MTG face
Instead of looking at her I would rather get hit with mace
in any case
God, I am hungry and could use a bowl of Bouillabaisse

Why
Why do they make it so hard
Being a girl, being gay, being black, being trans
They make me sad, they make me afraid
Am I so crazy for crying
Don't keep denying, people are dying
Why can't I be paid equally?
Why can't they enjoy each other's company?
Why did you kick him out of your family?
Is this really who you want to be?
Am I supposed to raise my children, in this world filled with hate
When I'm supposed to be happy for her
I'm afraid my daughter gets drugged on her first date
Where I need to tell my son it's okay to...

Someday
Someday, death and disease
Will disentegrate
Into yesterdays memory
Someday, all races
Will walk hand in hand
Colorblind with love
Someday, all nations
Will lay down their guns
As reason supercedes power
Someday, monetary wealth
Will be empty ambition
Value will be a healthy spiritual soul
Someday, God will return
And cast His glorious reign
Across the world
Until then....
We wait in hopeful anticipation
Will disentegrate
Into yesterdays memory
Someday, all races
Will walk hand in hand
Colorblind with love
Someday, all nations
Will lay down their guns
As reason supercedes power
Someday, monetary wealth
Will be empty ambition
Value will be a healthy spiritual soul
Someday, God will return
And cast His glorious reign
Across the world
Until then....
We wait in hopeful anticipation

Human Bondage
like the web of a spider
there are ties between us
ties between us
ties of courage
ties between us
ties of love
fine threads of kinship
intricately woven through time and space
ties between us
ties that link us
flimsy fibers braided
into unyielding rope
ties between us
ties of hope
ties between us
intertwining cords of compassion
ties between us
merging us all into one
human
race

Team No Sleep
Ever since the elections ended I've had time to rest my head and unwind from the criminal enterprise we call politics
It is a game that is meant to read, write and erase you from history books unless you’re on their pedestal
Tax payers pay a lot of money to prove that the system is unbalanced and flawed as hell
How many other Kyle Rittenhouse’s done cried and snotted on the stand over their Ivy League suits, sweatshirts in hand
Best not anger them white folks who practice witchcraft or magic cause they’ll have that ass sleepwalkin’ butt-naked in traffic
Set adrift on...

Unfazed
I can see the confusion forming across your face
These words that you have spoken so proudly, watch as they drift ever so swiftly down to the ground
And as every letter dissolve into the mouth of nonsexist
Allow me to explain to you why I say that I will be that
Although you think that you have interrupted my path you have only given me more momentum
You not wanting me to succeed is giving me all the more reason to do just that
I cannot help that you have woken up and choose toxic from your bag of options
I cannot help that today I had made the decision to...

"Woke"
These asinine colonizers...
Neo liberalism is class warfare too. Just a different brand. Retrumplicans and Talibangelists are the same evil flipped on the opposite side of the same coin.
These rose quartz fucking, tie dyed, tantra peace and light dreadlock wearing white motherfuckers will call cultures who practice scaring away evil spirits insane yet purchase sage to "cleanse space of negative energy."
they'll call people who eat meat "yet to be vegans" and say we are as unattractive as people who smoke.
Some people smoke because they have to deal with...

I am not okay
Sometimes telling me that everything is going to be okay just does not sit well in my soul
You see its very easy to roll those words off your tongue with ease as I sit uneasy in this situation that I am currently in.
Recite the lords prayer over and over until my mind becomes numb to these issues that are flooding my mind
While cursing myself out for being or rather feeling too weak to endure a continuous cycle of disappointment.
Am I supposed to continue to weather this storm?
Reach out my hands to up high and beg for repentance for the sins that I knew I was going...
