Beginning
Mosques burning
Crosses glowing
Fires raining in the night
World’s splaying
Life’s decaying
Bubble bubble toil and hate
Bomb’s falling
Skin’s crawling
Destruction reigns from dusk to day
Hate’s teaching
god’s critiquing
The bogey man’s come out to play
Nightmares breathing
Voiceless screaming
Fear-filled blood of zealots spawn
The host’s tweeting
History’s repeating
The final act of madman’s pawn
BOOM
Middle
Ships and Camps and jails and Walls
Running blindly through hallowed halls
All the documents we have seen
Yet we act as in a dream
Yet you choose to silent be
As life plays at reality TV
No selfie stick of twitter post or pasted smile on Facebook’s host
Can alternate the depth of lies
Or perjure truth for which we died
Sticks and stones and words do hurt
And slits your wrist and slits your throats
Paralyzed silently we shriek
Dumb ears blind eyes mute mouths excrete
Stereotyped hypocrisy
Lies built on lies
Irrationally
Socialized marginalized indoctrinized hate
Justified divisive lies
Has weaponized our fate
End
Break through the wall
Stand side by side
Condemn this world’s shit diatribe
Rebuild the bridge
Unshackle minds
plain view or sand
We must not hide
We come from places far and near
To hope, abundantly, is clear
Pray march and write, breathe,sing and dance
And paint each vivid circumstance
But we must fight
And we must win
For human kind
We must begin
To write new books
And speak The truth
And fight for each
for Love’s pursuit
Off knees and stand, each hand and glove
And fight for Freedom, fight for Love
So many sacrifices still to give
For future’s child this hope must live
Or contract retract and suffocate
‘Neath toxic rolling stones of hate
I’m not a fool for wanting more
Though I look down the barrel’s bore
I still believe in love not hate
In openness , not take and take
Receive and give a helping hand
peace, hope, and love, on which I stand
I’m not naive, I share the pain
Share the burden,
share the stain
Raisin in the sun. Goddamn
We must overcome that man
Black Lives Matter Othello sings
Desmond DaCosta Obama King
Though differences are quite profound
We’re connected souls on human ground
Yes differences I always see
But underneath you’re just like me
No crusades or wars in the name’s above
I have no religion, I believe in Love
