Unless legions of people
Unequaled
In stature
Go marching
Like ants
In the colony
Fractured
The psyche
Then voices won’t matter
Who hurt you
Like Nike
Incisively
Signals its virtue
Upon the first trend
The Black Fridays we spend
As consumers
United
In rights to defend
Our most sheepish impulses
And wolf appetites
To the death
Of our liberties
In the black sites  
Where the word
Of slain leaders
Still herds its immunity
Deep in the cells
Of what sells
Black community

How to say
Come what may
Where the fault line is laid
What to do in events
You slip through it
Afraid
If you say it
Intrudes
And refuses to quit
If you feel how its dissonance
Widens the rift
Then you must
Find a way
To admit
Why we say it
Or doomed to repeatedly
Weeping
Replay it

Underneath
All the anger
A sadness
It’s tragic
And countless the times
I have rhymed it
With madness
But really
It’s simple
Some complex
Enigma
Is fractured
Enraptured
In mental health
Stigma

End it will
End in madness
End in failure
If you let it
End in misery
In woebegone
In malice
You’ll inherit
Such disparate
Inequalities
Devoid of any
Merit
But you’ll wear it
Like a patriotic flag
Catches the wind
And not to brag
But you will
Reinvent
Its colors
Of the skin
Yet some inherent
Mortal sin
Might in
The shadows
Deep instill
An ever-looming
Private interest
Despotism
Shoot to ****

The Apogee Man
Sees all humanoid clan
Ataraxia
Rooted in
Arable land
Gains his prominence
Earns it
From sharing his keep
Reaps the spoils
He snatched
From the jaws of
Elite
Not in coasting
On daddy’s warbucks
Here to Gaza
Not slaughtering kids
For a lucrative plaza
Not selling out allies
Betraying ideals
Not in lying so much
He forgets how it feels
What it means
To be truly
Mandated to lead
What the doctrines demand
He must fairly concede

And yet
All we take
To the grave
Is most worthless
No plight
Or birthright
Form of life
Could deserve this
Competitive nature
Default to temptation
This cutting edge
Fully fledged
War of creation

Not all I believed
Has agreed with me
Aging
Enraged
A decade
Ago
Seldom
Engaging
What slight inclination
I had left to
Breed
Though defiantly
Calling out
Bastardized greed
In the sanctity
Answers
The books I would read
Clarifying
For moments in time
What we need
Most supremely
Most urgently
Now
We demand
What will feed
Progeny
Redistribute the land
