So What Are You BORN WITH... ?!?
Cos’ I’m Born With A GIFT...
To Write Lyrical Twists...

That Exhibit How I Think...
About The Ways That We Live...

So When It Comes To Chicks...
They Can Be... EXPLICIT... !!!!!!

But I MOSTLY RESIST...
Using EXPLETIVES...
Cos’ My Diction Is Born...
From Intellectual Thoughts... !!!

That Are RARELY Caught Short... !!!

When It Comes To What’s Born...
From The Lyrics I Source...

That Are... WAY ABOVE Norms... !!!
Because When They’re Formed...

They’re EXPANSIVE.....
DYNAMIC, ORGANIC, Sarcastic...
Phlegmatic And CLASSIC...
And Sometimes FANTASTIC... !!!!!!

Because of The Ways...
I’m Born With Displays...
of... CLEVER Wordplay...

That’s AMAZING With Grace...
And Content That’s STRAIGHT... !!!

Because I Was Born With...
A Vibe That’s... NOT GAY... !!!

Cos’ I’m SERIOUS When...
It Comes To Life’s Game... !!!

Because I WASN’T Born With...
A Life WITHOUT PAIN...
Or... Financial STRAIN... !!!

Because I WASN’T Born With...
One of Them... PALE FACE...
Or... Light Skin That Makes...
Headaches... RUN AWAY...
Because of My RACE... !!!!!!!!!

See I’m Born With Lyrics...
That Are Cryptic Like This...
ANALYTIC And SWIFT... !!!

To CLEAR What’s Obscure...
And Then Make It PURE... !!!!

So That Readers Can SEE...
Just How REAL That I Be... !!!

When It Comes To What’s Born From...
Our...... SOCIETIES...... !!!

Like... RACIST Police... !!!

And Government Teams...
Who... Now Seem To Need...
To Be Taught What It Means...
To Be A Racist Who Feeds...
On The Type of Racism...
That’s Now Been REVEALED...

To FEED The... “ Policies “...
To Which They’ve AGREED...
And Unleashed Onto Streets...

Where... HOSTILITIES... !!!
Make Environments BLEED... !!!
And UNABLE To BREATHE...
Because of The KNEES...
That Police Use FREELY... ?!!!?

I’m Born With LESS NONSENSE...
Than Those Who Cause PROBLEMS... !!!

Like Those Born With MADNESS...
That Leaves These Folks HAPLESS...
And FILLED Up With SADNESS...
That’s Then HARD To MANAGE... !!!

So Then Causes THEM DAMAGE... !!!
And... OTHER Heads TOO... !!!

Who End Up ABUSED...
MISUSED And CONFUSED... !!!

Because of The Issues...
That Darken The Moods...
of Those Born With ANGER...
They CANNOT REMOVE... !!!

Those Born With PSYCHOSIS... !!!
That Runs DEEP Like Oceans... !!!

The Type Whose Neurosis...
Ends Up LOSING Focus... !!!
So NEEDS Diagnosis... !!!
BEFORE It Starts Growing...
In Ways That Are POTENT... !!!

Now BELIEVE What I’m Born With...
Is FAR FROM... ALL KNOWING... !!!

Like Those Born With EGOS...
That Will NOT STOP BLOWING...

Like Hurricanes SHOWING...
They’re Born With A POTION...
That Can Cause WILD COMMOTION... !!!

Like... Protest Groups NOW...
Running Round In BIG Crowds... !!!

That Are Born With The Notion...
That Black Deaths Need Slowing...
And They’re CLEARLY NOT JOKING... !!!

And That’s Where This Poem...
Now Needs To STOP Flowing... !!!

Because It’s EXPOSING...
Some Things That NEED Noting... !!!

About HOW We Live...
And Our Relationships...

Now It’s Had A Few Quips...
And Some CLEVER Lyrics... !!!

But It’s Really Been Asking...
A Question Like THIS... !!!

When It Comes To The Things...
That DEFINE What You Bring...
To This World And It’s Twists...

What... DEEP Down Is It... ?

That YOU Are.....

........ “ Born With “........ ?!?
An interesting title, and question, inspired by an episode from the series, Prodigal Son...........
