We got all the black folk out on the street killin cops

//

Course . . . We got all them cops out on the street

Killin black folk



Why is this all a comin down this way ?

//

Cause it's good for

Corporate profit , obviously


//

Lack of unity

Discord

Dependence on Power

???

All good for corporate profit

//

and what do we do while this is happening ?

:::

Nothin

//
//

Write a few poems bout somethin else

//
//

Well

No sense in gettin involved

I guess

//

And we can maybe get some of them

Corporate profits

Trickling down
 Jun 2015 Devin Ortiz
Rapunzoll
Your lagoon orbs,
flicker with jaded emeralds,
swallowing me beneath
their sapphire waves.

What once promised me
much has led me to these
abandoned ruins, and
long forgotten shores.

A drifted siren, trapped
between the fleeting seasons
haunting these oceans
in search for Atlantis
within the bones of ships.

Wasted by the fragrance
of your sailed freedom
and plump, luscious
lips rouged by red wine.

I waited for you to
anchor me to this life, not
to sink, to drag down
with me into the depths
of these undercurrents.

Don't mess up
Other people's feelings
When they're done
With all
The crap
That you
Caused them.

Don't come back
And smile at anyone
Like nothing
Ever happened
In the past
That made them
Hate you forever.

They're living fine
They're doing great
You don't need
To step into the picture
All over again
Because it's over
And you can't bring it back.
Wooh! I'm back! haha
