Politics
Bawl at this
I can’t listen to them
One tweet makes ‘em trip
But everyone’s blind to what’s really sick
shitholes, we all know
but Lolita Express is how money flows
into certain pockets
feminist, meninist
how about we all insist we get the truth?
and nothing but
gay pride, black pride, I don’t want this
I want humanity to have pride in this life
I want children to stop talking wishes
washing dishes
I want teens to stop banging snitches
pregnant bitches
fill the streets
cocaine, ecstasy, crack, weed
this is our Jesus, this is our Lord
staring into the dark, hope Bush sends a plane
when are we gonna stand for ourselves
stop giving a damn what rappers say
stop giving a damn what pastors say
because they’re both leading
but we all know the path, and it’s the wrong way
green on their neck, gold on the teeth
but they can buy their listeners a real life?
can they make police officers right?
go right ahead and stand
but we’re all on our knees
every time we let a murder go
every time we let a baby go
media’s one great big circle jerk
slapping the public with their fat sacks
and we live our lives, we’re okay with that
deep throating behind the desk
Trump’s putting Obama’s lunacy to rest
where’s this country going
are we okay with being eighty second best?
I’m not
but we don’t run this place
Deep State, big rates
check your dollars, they’re backed with nothing
Democracy, big fake
9/11 wasn’t one day but everyday
since this county was founded
now that people are starting to wake up
they see time’s coming around
and it’s all going down
hurt your feelings, I know it hurt mine
but we’re behind and we gotta redeem
this time, no time to waste
this time, take this energy
zero to ninety-nine
abnormalities in your minds
weapons of mass destruction
superheroes you all are
with eyes to burn, wings to fly
no matter how we’re gonna die
to my fellow humans, I just can’t lie
in the end
it’s you and I
Thank you for the nomination 🙂

I agree my friend. A few year back. A black boy was killed in New York. Whole world was concern about the race. I was upset they killed a kid. A kid just outside place and was murdered by a sitting cop. I wrote a poem. Black boy down. I wanted to know. Why they kill a child. It was alive once.”I want humanity to have pride in this life”. I live in Detroit. We don’t ask if black, white or Mexican if someone lost a love one. We hold them and we mourn with them. One world and one people. Hate, bullets and bombs don’t see color of skin, religion or race. I pray for better days. Old Native American wisdom. “Respect the Grandparent. They are the teachers of the child and the child are our future and wealth of a nation. Teach the children well.”

Facts brother. These are all dilemmas we face by being ignorant. Ignorant of our environment and of our great potential as human beings. Stay focused and inspired! Because these are the conversations that make a difference.
