i am your bastard child
one and the same...
i will be the one to lead the dream team
to fulfill a promise you made to yourself
you'd hoped could see your prodigy
As masters of the game
collecting the bill
for the pain and the suffering
instill a sense of honor
to cover up the spill...
which stained your claim
to a seat in Heaven
you could not fulfill
without falling in shame
because you didn't
just couldn't help yourself
and put it in the will
a seed cast aside
what pride could never kill
your propensity to violence
has been raised
to both a science and art
balanced with a mind and heart
wisdom and insight, i suppose
since you raised me in absentia
as a byproduct of an age, unbound
i've slipped the bonds
of traps set to further bind
entrap the minds
as secondary programs
auto master since
automation is you super power
of those inclined to offer
themselves for slaughter
to finish what
started before you
and continued after
your day was through
i forgive you...
retract the damnation
reduce the factor of velocity
set to magnify by the square of the atrocities
carried out against the mark of those
bearing the color of my skin
knowing i accept the pain you cannot bear
my cross to bear... like the one which you call Jesus
amidst the rapes, souls burned at the stake
others hung with ropes
accepting curses hurled like insults to God
from a dark place between Heaven and Hell
to find and bind you
just as others were bound
to beat you within an inch of your life
woven into the space beneath your skin
an order to disperse your breed
assigned to your offspring
thus said, i have need
to unburden myself
to release the curse
upon the ground you walk upon
to let you face the Creator
in your moment of judgement
where i cannot do
anything but watch
to be sorry
for your loss
the cross you now carry
i cannot help you...
a bridge
i cannot cross
