Standpoint

it's crazy things happening

tell me I'm not going insane

I only got half a brain the rest

of it is the remains of different

things so much clutter when

I speak sometimes I stutter

I shutter to think behind

closed shutters mind matters

when peace is extinct it's

imperative for those survival

skills to kick in the door of

opportunity in the jungle

we rumble like ferocious

beast coz lions got cubs to

feed that's how we eat out

in these streets beating

pavement blood on the soles

of these feet mama what

time we gone eat this weight

too heavy to carry mama tell me

how come the holy spirit

tarry been suffering long time

dropped off and left out

in a place that ain't no home

world on our shoulder a lot of

weight to carry this hell is scary

the time is now we got no

no later the past ain't coming

back to save us why you

got our hopes up they out

there stringing ropes up

Tik Tok gang gang crimes

been black on black can't

 blame white for that

"BLACK LIVES MATTER"

what you got to say bout

that? I don't hear nothing

stop tap dancing stomp on

something stop making

excuses stop changing

the subject stop trying to

look good in public behind

the scenes shaking hands

kissing enemies in meantime

we continue to bleed

how long shall we plead the

same case to a different race

who can't stand the sight of

us they despise our face

time to grasp your own mind

every body not gone fall

in line 20/20 vision not

color blind continue to grind

break a lot of timepieces

continued to wind it up

time is winding up lookout

don't look up pour it out in

a cup take a sip break some

bread make some dough

bake some more covet thy

neighbor makes us poor

if we barter we'll have more

in store these just some lines

some truth and no lies but

moving forward looking back

we're still far behind still I'll

be in this frame of mind until

I leaving this frame behind

Great write! We got to get back to educating and liberating ourselves, Overselves! We got to get back to using the WORD to smash and shatter the oppressive syndrome that's got us back to destroying ourselves by doing the oppressors' work for him. We got to get back to that frame of mind tht enables us to realize that freedom--justice--liberation-- is not given; it is fought for and won! We got to get back to freeing the MIND! Peace and Love.
