a black man in the Confederacy; loving consumerism or forced into this physical ******* Jim Crow poses, contorts, smiles, shoots; a gun on the red carpet; Calvin the Second or Tracy Martin? Does it matter? Dance gwara dance gwara, watch the foreground and never the back the dance is to distract the killing is back shooting money, that dance is funny, now it's time to pray Charleston, South Carolina, June 17, 2015, a gun on the red carpet as the human rights take backstage; race riots ignite, days later we give up the fight don't Stop to look Up for fallIng objeCts, Is the DancE to defend or distract? Smile, you're on camera Flames to the left, and the apocalypse passes behind it all, unnoticed, rise up and forget broken lemons abound, liberty takes a seat now, and the drivers are nowhere to be found, keep dancing now Watch from this sunken place, run from the devil, you know it's a race
