Entitled to Do This
To deny that their greed,
Has depleted all quality of life.
Is to admit that those homeless and starving...
Enforced by a few,
Feeling entitled to do this...
Had been acceptable and alright!
They've been clearly on a mission,
To diminish with racism and division.
And these acts have been barbaric.
Yet they have by them been cherished.
The plug has been pulled,
On once closed eyes now wide open.
They never conceived, perceived or believed,
They would someday become victims.
Or cloaked in their own deceit,
And left defeated and broken.
And even in the moments,
Nearing towards their end...
They still choose to point fingers,
At those long ostracized...
From a way of life,
They themselves have brought to an end.

Love
Searching, Searching
pause,
Oh, wait- Ive missed it.
It was in the valley of destiny,
Pass the fields of greed,
Lost within memory,
Concoctions of audacity,
It was covered in persistence,
Sprinkled with pleasure,
Written in history as the one and only light,
Many, but not me, passed it for I know of its good deeds,
It was freedom to all,
Long, long ago hidden to life,
Drifting with the winds of hope,
Breaking down the barriers of racism,
It had once filled radiance,
Left none to fall to selfishness or hate,
Lifting those in need,
Not laughing at those with disability,
Its long gone,
I know of that,
But we can bring it back,
Our drastically cruel world mocks those who try, dont let it hold you back, fly, higher than the shadows that block your anticipation,
And help me bring back the love that our world so desperately needs.

................................AS WE WALK.............................
.
as we walk
the lines of injustice blur
twisted by racial slurs
little innuendos that say im superior
fade into the night
as if they were never there
as we walk
the memories of discrimination
by a hate filled nation
rekindle in the thoughts of children
like those who died in South African jails
lynched in southern magnolias
tarred, and feathered
or when OJ was found innocent
then you saw the real color barrier
how dare you let a black man off
when for decades whites did it almost every day
as we walk
dont hide the truth
in rap songs, poetry, or inside
dont let your color destroy your pride
white children saying we know it was wrong
hispanics saying we feel it too! !
asians screaming its wrong
as we walk
we must all stand strong
what does having a black president really mean?
except a change in history
one man cant stop a nations misery
as we walk
through the sands of racism
tunnnel through the wall of injustice
run into the pain of life
we must unite
as we walk

......................GLOBAL SOCIALIZATION.......................
.
the innocence of life
as we see it today
is erased by the savages
who call themselves human
thriving on a superiority egotrip
while destroying the ozone
polluting the environment
adding chemical, and biological disasters
talking about the world thereafter
placed in the hands of lunatics
trapped inside their own intelligence
our doom is sealed
by the laws of nature revealed
in polluted rivers
diseased bodies
disappearing species
food grown in human feces
tsunamis, hurricanes, terrorist attacks
when everything goes right theyll be right back
idiotic holy wars
ridiculous marketing in every store
homeless growing by the millions
a army of hungry children
just mad enough to create a society
where your laws dont apply to me
destined to be reality
churches burn as the clock turns
racism no longer the big issue
believe it or not its just you
what are you going to do
when the whole world comes after you
for the idiotic things you do
relax it will never happen
the world is steadily collapsing
wall street just one more scenario
of the media pumping insanity in stereo
the world believes OJ got what he deserves so
keep on playing with the globe
let it revolve then explode
stay tuned for the next episode
created by god, or the human mind
ill be on the corner pretending im blind
