Capitalism is Terrorism
Respect the sistah that sits there and reads for you
See, The economy is a study of the way production is paid,
In land, labor, wages and taxes
The actual point of Capitalism is to extract more cash from production and away from labor leaving wealth accumulation unregulated for some people
The sky's the limit but the pie isn’t divided equally
Like, Property for example,
Back then,
We had to work on the land we couldn’t own and Child labor laws didn’t exist
Millions of acres stolen and it didn’t matter what was on paper
Then, Predatory...

The Reigning Champs
Frightening realities
emerge at this time
at night
I don’t know why that
is, but I intend to
find out
and make it all poetic
so people see the
real me
not some drunken
degenerate
but a man that was
about to put you
all out on the
street
because you let the dude-
speak fool you
and fools were coming
back in vogue and I
wasn’t going to let
that happen,
dude
don’t come crying to me
about your depression or
whatever fag...

Unconquerable
The sinister power endures
Like metamophic rock
Stolen from, subjugated, oppressed
Exploited, imprisoned, and enslaved
And still we remain unconquered
Our joy and kindness prevails
Our hearts remain our own
Our minds are broken and bruised
In the windowless prisons
And they endure and overcome
Everything the powerful devise
We overcome
Forcing them to reinvent new forms of oppression
We overcome and we endure
As our ancestors endured
Our joy and kindness will prevail
Our music will play ...

ruby's back pack
glistening arrows mapped through dark corridors
guide the panic of tourists on a stampeding search party
seeking
screeching red lights
hoisted steadily above the nearest emergency exit;
only the most ruthless
would define
salvation at the cost of scuffed wood paneling to be a fair price;
those more
integrated
with affluence
into
the art of hustle
assume hysteria to be a taxing disposition to resourceful observation
when the width of the threshold shines precedent,...

Lords Of The Poison
Venom drips from the blade like a snake fang.
Hanging by a thread.
Dread the voices unheard.
Let the song ring true in your mind till it’s over.
Sober words never tell truth.
Sooth and be the one burned.
Grip the steel and ready yourself for the battle.
Rattle your sabers and shout.
Doubting your own strength.
The eyes of the viper are watching from the fog.
Dogs of war are unleashed.
Sheath the whole sword’s length.
Lords of the poison.
Masters of the tongue.
Congress in treason.
Allegiance...
Hanging by a thread.
Dread the voices unheard.
Let the song ring true in your mind till it’s over.
Sober words never tell truth.
Sooth and be the one burned.
Grip the steel and ready yourself for the battle.
Rattle your sabers and shout.
Doubting your own strength.
The eyes of the viper are watching from the fog.
Dogs of war are unleashed.
Sheath the whole sword’s length.
Lords of the poison.
Masters of the tongue.
Congress in treason.
Allegiance...

The Cage
You think your strong
A mountain that can’t be moved
But your empire is revolting
And crashing beneath
You demand silence
But society has a different tone
The beast corrupts the gold
And all becomes silver
Yellow belly defector
Sleep sweat in a cemetery
Rusty knives announce the night
Haunts you again
Though memories flicker
Remember those who lived there
Her eye is bruised
But the beauty never cries
She won’t give you another victory
Rises from the dirt again
Latch is...
A mountain that can’t be moved
But your empire is revolting
And crashing beneath
You demand silence
But society has a different tone
The beast corrupts the gold
And all becomes silver
Yellow belly defector
Sleep sweat in a cemetery
Rusty knives announce the night
Haunts you again
Though memories flicker
Remember those who lived there
Her eye is bruised
But the beauty never cries
She won’t give you another victory
Rises from the dirt again
Latch is...

Que Sera,Sera.
On a fine Territory,
Granted autonomy, eventually,
By the big ole Queenie
The citizens of "Mean'tmuch more2me", celebrated
this historical event with jovial sentimentality,
much 2 the dismay of the big ole Queenie.
But she hadn't a choice,for if she didn't set the country free,
they were prepared 2 use havack on her country. Immediately.
So relinquish, did Queenie, the country of " Meantmuchmore2me",
leaving them 2

[ RAP ] "Let's go, Brando!"
they angrily chanted in diatribal fashion
waving hashtag anointed spears
as if waterboarding oars
high above their heads
leftover from Free Britney rallies
still wild donkey skewing sharp.
And he fled the Internets altogether
faster than my 5G Verizon connection
could keep pace with, so as to live
and return to fight another day
with his peculiar brand of poetry.

*A House Divided
Battle lines are being drawn based on Them verses Us
now your vax status adds to the further distrust
Faith in our core human values is being lost
In the end what will be the final cost
We are forgetting we all members of the same team
and elevating our collective souls should be our dream
If we engage in Civil War II
what/who will be left when we are through
For regardless of how old or how tall
A House Divided against itself-will surely fall
now your vax status adds to the further distrust
Faith in our core human values is being lost
In the end what will be the final cost
We are forgetting we all members of the same team

If we engage in Civil War II

For regardless of how old or how tall

I am the storm
I am the storm
bitter winds howling
screaming in feral ecstasy
cursing a loveless world
my talons rake men's hearts
with needle sharp fingers
of freezing fire
a burning flame of ice
for I am no longer alive
no heart beats in my chest
nor blood flows through my veins
I am far more that human
and far, far less
for I see the sins of humanity
feasting on these transgressions
seeing the strong feed off the weak
