Skin tag of a name, watch them tag along

King erratic and shamed 

Quite the vagabond

Others static and claimed

One should match a tone

Only to uphold a certain standard 

Couldn’t fathom pawn

Faith was rather drawn for you

But not within 

Indifference be the matter that they sold you

Block the wind

The truth floats 

but over time amassed in kin

Watch the fat rise but baptized 

And that was skimmed

So

You’re taught to recognize varied functions

And things collapse when we fall victim to our own assumptions

My energy lies in my adaptive gumption

My energy lies when I feel I have nothing

My energy flatlines when I remain capsized

And white suits with black ties capitalize on black lives

And they call timeout as if it’s halftime

And entertain us to distract us from the pain painted as past times

Where’s the demise in that

When we just sit here and revise the facts

Where’s the pride in that

I’ve decided that 

I can’t rely on lack of knowledge 

in hopes of this active drama

In quotes can collapse the power

In votes from the active scholars

So till it’s all agreed

So till we stand in arms

And till we all belong to the earth that we stand upon...

​

I’ll embrace the unknown until I become familiar with every fold and follicle.

I’ll be wrong, as an opportunity to be right.

Chaos to you

Is a perspective shift.

And I won’t recognize it as 

Just disorder or confusion anymore.”
