call for justice…

call for justice... (1)

do not speak to us of justice
while this nation’s laws insult us
by justifying our assassination by police
there is nothing here but injustice

 

 

tax code…

tax code

the brown bag prophet
was sitting at a computer station
in the main library
when i inquired
about
what he was working on
the prophet
said
i’m writing a proposal
for
amending the tax code
he said
since people of color
and
women
are prevented from
earning
comparative
salaries
and
wages
as
white males
i am proposing
a racial
and
gender
tax credit
equal to
the disparity ratio
in a geographic area
since
discrimination
varies by state
seems reasonable to me
that if one is not considered equal
in practical terms
for example
not only
how much you can earn
but
where you can live
who you can love
how you can conceive
and
whether
it’s safe
to be stopped
by
the police
you should only have to pay
for
those services
and
products
accessible
to you
and
therefore
said parties
should be
given 
an appropriate
tax credit
since it’s
more
than obvious
they’re not equal
under the law
to
white males

 

 

anti-critical race theory…

mind contrived stories
but no correlated facts
just mere conjecture
humans seem to do that well
confusing their myths as truths

 

 

transparent human bodies…

transparent human bodies

what if all the souls
on earth
had cellophane skin
and
we could see
every organ
and
watch
the blood flow
to and fro
from
the heart
as
it beats
steadily
beneath
the ribs
what then
would we choose
to
hate
for surely
man
cannot live
without
hate
would we choose
how a voice
sounds
oh
i suspect not
we’d
probably rely
on
color again
except
now
the color
of
one’s eyes

 

 

to those fearing woke…

to those fearing woke

my soul will not bleed
you may tear away my flesh
torture these old bones
scream obscenities
but i have learned of the truth
and understand my self-worth
so your words and deeds
cannot penetrate my soul
centuries of lies
used as societal chains
no longer bound my future
to your perspective of life
without breath or pulse
i would rather be than forced
to live as a slave to your will

what color is death
its robe is black but its face
is a chalky white
and as death approaches you
you’re told to walk towards the light
it seems one should avoid white

just a hunch…

without sin among you

was just suspected
although no clear evidence
but thought that freedom 
was never attainable
even with the chains removed
since shackles of laws were formed

 

 

test preparation…

the brown bag prophet
was busy writing
at a park bench
when i was
on my way home
when i inquired
as to
what he was writing
the prophet
said
i’m preparing
some questions
to replace
those removed
by
the college board
about
real
american history
regarding blacks
what do you
think about
this one
what does
the name
desantis
have in common
with the following words
racist
homophobic
fascist
apartheid
maybe this one
should also
be
included
how is
mussolini
to
hitler
as
desantis
is to
trump
oh hell
maybe we should
do away
with the whole
college board
since
it seems
just to be
another
political entity
and
god knows
we don’t need
another
one
of
those
