Now There Really AREN’T...
So Many Who Can CLAIM...
That What They Create...

Is TRULY FREE OF CONSTRAINT... !!!

ESPECIALLY Those Who Choose To Entertain... !!!
Because Artists Are CLEARLY NOT THE SAME... !!!
So DON’T Play The Game To Gain Industry Fame... !!!

It’s Just A CRYING SHAME That In This Modern Age...
That There Are Still Constraints On What People Can Say...
When It Comes To The Ways of The World Today...

Like These CANCEL Brigades Now Making Waves...
About What Is Said By Women And Men...
Who Entertain And Create In Various Ways...

From Comedians To Media Heads...

Constraints Now Play...
... A DANGEROUS GAME... !!!

Where Freedom of Speech...
Is Being Placed In... “RESTRAINTS”... !!!

So The SLAVERY Game...
DOESN’T Seem To Have CHANGED... !!!
Nowadays The CHAINS...
Surround Homes And Gates...

And Now Are Things...
That Some Folks Call BLING... !!!

Now Those Are DEEP Lyrics... !!!
Upon Which You Should THINK... !!!

And RECOGNISE The LINKS...
That TRULY STINK... !!!!!!!!

Because Back In The Days...
Wasn’t That The Way...
That Slaves HAD To Behave... ?!?

Who Were ENSLAVED...
And Mentally CAGED... ?!?

I Guess The Pictures I Paint...
Are Just FAR TOO BRAVE... !!!

So Fall FOUL of Constraints...
That Are NOW In Place... !!!

"DON’T Speak About THIS !
DON’T Speak About THAT !
If You Say That Again,
You’ll Get NO MORE CASH !

“Okay, sorry *****’
I deserve a few lash !”

It’s Constraints Like These...
That May **** ARTISTRY... ?!?

Due To The CANCEL Police...
And The..... LGBT..... !!!

I Mean... SERIOUSLY... ?!?

Are They Really ABOVE...
The Ideal of FREEDOM... !?!

When It Comes To Speech...
And Creative HONESTY... !!!!!!!

But How Could They Be... ?!?
When Their Closets Run DEEP...
With... “Secrecy”...
And The Type of DECEIT...
That’s Truly HARD To BELIEVE... !!!

Having Families And DENYING The TRUTH...
Until NEW Policies Have Allowed Them To...

DICTATE What’s Said By Creative Heads...
Well They Can KEEP Their Markets...

Cos' I’m The Type of Artist...
Who DOESN’T Believe That Any Artistry...
Should Ever Be CONSTRAINED... !!!

Like... Slaves In Chains... !!!

Cos’ In This Day And Age...
These... CANCEL Brigades...
Seem To Want The WHOLE STAGE......

So That ONLY THEY...
Can Entertain And Get Paid...

And Say...
What THEY Wanna Say... !!!

... “ FREE of Constraint “... !!!

We cannot tell — what lies in this?
We rise and fall straight to abyss.
The world is holding onto crutches,
While we are standing here and watching
The things we think we’ll never miss.

Unfinished stories hunt us down,
Like eyes of those who aren’t around.
Their voices bounce against the wall,
What do we do? Do we grow tall
Or simply wait till we are found?

The world is biting its own neck,
There’s nothing more to it than wreck
In aching souls of those who fight.
When we look up, we see the light —
So bright, it takes us all aback.

While we are numb, we capture this —
The world on crutches in abyss
And voices that keep coming through.
But we retreat — that’s what we do,
We don’t grow tall. We are dismissed.

The world is taking deadly aim —
It thinks that we won’t stay the same,
That we will tidy up the mess.
But we just stand before its eyes,
We hear it’s words right through it’s cries.
It says:

«I wonder what comes next».

as its culture creates on demand

belief is the condition
the cure keeps looking for

Well It Seems Nowadays...    

THAT..." Black Lives Matter "..... ?
Well I'd Say THE HUMAN Factor...  
Is What We SHOULD RECAPTURE... !!!!!!!!  
IN FACT What I Mean Is... "Capture"... !!!  

Because My Lifes' Chapters...  
HAVEN'T SEEN Too Much Data...    
That Humans In Their Manner...  
Are Living By... That Standard...    

There's NO Doubting THAT... !!!  
When It Comes To ATTACKS...  
That Are Made Against Blacks...  

Humanity LACKS...  
What It Is To RETRACT...  
And.... RECOGNISE....  
That Di-vi-s-ive Vibes    
Are... TAKING Lives... !!!!!  
And DIVI-D-ING Tribes... !!!!!  

You See SUBJECT MATTER...  
I DEAL IN.... HAMPERS....  
Those Who Hanker...  
To Work With FAKE DATA...  

FAKE Like.... TANNERS....  
Standing By Standards...  
Doubled Up And Captured  
By Their...  Actions... !!!  

STICKING To Factions...  
Thought Waves FRACTURED... !!!  
BELIEVE ME Sadness...  
Forms Their MADNESS...  

Anger Now S C A T T E R E D ...  
TATTERED And SPLATTERED...  
Like Matter That's SHATTERED... !!!!!!  

You See... Subjects I Factor...  
In Thoughts That I Capture...  
Within My Lyrical...  
Are Criminally Cynical... !!!  
According To Political...  
Subjects INADMISSIBLE... !!!

In Verse of Mine EMPIRICAL...  
Because of THEM I'm CRITICAL.... !!!!!

Via Subject Matter That Simplifies Data...
They Use To Confuse Through NEW AGE Tools... !!!      

Where Matter Is Subject...  
To MUCH That INFECTS...  
Todays' Internet Heads...    

From Online ***...  
To Conspiracy Threads...  

And OF COURSE A WHOLE SET...    
of... " TERRORIST Trends "... !!!!!  

Now Police Have Been Left...    
FEELING Bullets Instead...  
of... Dishing Out DEATH... !!!

Whose Matter Will Be Left...  
To FACE Bullets of LEAD... !?!  

Or Bombs That NOW Defend... ?  
By Blowing OFF Peoples' Heads... !?!  

Something Like ALL These Rappers...  
Who CLAIM That They Are GANGSTERS...  

AND ****** Like Gun Clappers...    
Well Now Its CLEAR They're ACTORS... !!!!!
Whose Chatter Runs... FAKE Data...  

Their Lyrics Deal In... DEATH...  

" Bringing The Pain " ... Like ****'... !!!!!  
But NOT TO... RACIST Feds'... !!?!!  

So MUCH Like... " Them "...  
Things That They STRESS... !!!!  
In Their... " Poems "...  
Are In Need of YES.....  

... Auto CORRECT... !!!!!!  

For LIES They Tell...  
About How They FLEX... !?!

While Blacks With SENSE...  
Face THREATS From Them... ?!?!?  
For... Dealing In TRUTH...  
Instead of Tools...  
Just To Get Some Street CRED'... ?!?  

So Like Bernie Mac' Said...  
TOO MANY Black Youths...  
Are Becoming NEW FOOLS... !!!

They Just FOLLOW The Trends...  
To Get Themselves AHEAD...    

YES... Subjects I SELECT...  
May UPSET CERTAIN Heads... ?  

But NOT Quite Like... !!!  
The LOSS of A Friend...  
OVER... IGNORANCE Bred...  
From A DIFFERENCE of Opinion... ?  
Religion or Dominion...

Or The Skin That People Live In... !?!?!  

This Piece Has Got Me...    
........ " THINKING ".........  

That Things Are NOW...  
...... So SICKENING...... !!!  

That People REALLY NEED...  
Some Form of UPLIFTMENT'... !!!

Well YES That's TRUE... !!!  
But FACING The Truth...  
Has To Be The FIRST MOVE... !!!!  

But THAT With PROOF... !!!    

NOT Media News...  
With Views AskeW...  

Cos' I'm TELLING You... !!!  
They're Making Moves...  
...... AGENDA Fuelled......  

To Confuse And Sep-a-rat-e....  
Through Religion And RACE... !!!  

It's CLEAR There Are Scales...  
That NEED TO BE BALANCED... !!!

And Leaders Whose Actions...  
NOW NEED TO BE CHALLENGED... !!!!!  

So Let Me END This Chapter...    
By Simply Saying... THIS...  

REMEMBER There Are FACTORS...  
Beyond Feelings That... "Capture"...  
Your ANGER Into RAPTURE...    
That's MADDER Than The HATTER... !!!!!  

And FEEDS Like VELOCIRAPTORS... !!!!!  

So DON'T Deny The Crimes You See... !!!  
Because of PRIDE Or A COMPLEX That...  
You CHOOSE To.................. "hide"...................  

Take The Time To TRY...  
To... OPEN UP Your Mind....  
To TRUTH, Falsehoods And LIES...  

And DELVE INTO The DATA...  
Where The ONLY FACTOR...  
That REALLY Matters....  

Is The QUALITY of...  

It's....  

....... " Subject Matter "......

ALL ABOARD... ALL ABOARD... !!!

But Hey This ISN'T A Train...
Or Some Game To Be PLAYED...

Or Some Kind of Cruise Ship...
Because This Here Is Calling...
You... BANDWAGON Kids... !!!

Who AREN'T Using Your Brain...
Cos’ You CLEARLY DON’T THINK... !!!

Okay Y’all Okay I Get That It’s Great...
To See That Blackface Is Now Up For Debate...

But Let Me Get This Straight... !!!
And Make My Thoughts PLAIN...
A Lot of You Suckers...
Are NOW Making Claims...
And Causing A RUCKUS... !!!

Because... ALL of A SUDDEN...
It’s Time For A CHANGE... ?!?

When It Comes To Race Hate And Historical Names...
That Should NOT BE DISPLAYED ALL Over The Place... !!?!!

Well I’m Calling You Out... !!!
That’s Right You... WOKE Clowns... !!!

Cos’ You’ve Been SLEEPING Fa’ Sure... !!!

When It Came To RACE WARS...
That Have LONG Been ENDURED...
That Have Been LAW ENFORCED... !!!!!!

LONG BEFORE Poor Old George...
And Those Blacks KILLED BEFORE...
By The Arms of The Law...
EVER Came To The Fore... !!!

That’s Right All You Hoards...
Who Chose To... IGNORE...
How We’re Treated Like ******...

By... JUDGES In COURTS...
And These Heads You VOTE For...
Who NOW Seem To Be SURE... !?!?!

That... Black Lives Matter... !!!

Oh Because of New Cameras...
That Clearly Now SHATTER...

These People Who’ve Said...

“That It’s Just In Black Heads !
The Idea of Hatred,
That’s Supremacist Lead !”

Oh And By This I MEAN...
Those People Once Deemed...
To YES BE... “ SQUEAKY CLEAN “... !!!

Who’ve Been Seen On BIG SCREENS...
And Indeed On TV’s Like That Guy... Ali G... !!!

How MANY of YOU...
Have Sat Down In Front Rooms... ?!?!

And LAUGHED And CONSUMED...

The Kind of... “ COMEDY “...
That’s INDULGED Racist Themes...
That Makes LOADS of MONEY...
For These Media Teams...
Where Racism Still Breathes... ?!?

How MANY of YOU...
Have Sat Down And ARGUED... ?
That This Comedic Jew...

Was.....

“Highlighting Issues...
That Were Actually Cool,
And Satirically Shrewd !”

Hmm That’s Not How It Seemed...
And AIN’T Funny To Me... !!!!

Because Now It Seems...
That Those In TV Harbour Racist Ideals... !!!

And Have Done So For Years...
This Has Now Been Made CLEAR... !!!
But I Should NOW BELIEVE...
That Their Motives Were CLEAN... ?!?

When They’ve... “ STEREOTYPED “...

The Lives of Black Guys...
In These Shows That Were TRIPE... !!!

Oh And He’s NOT ALONE...
When It Comes To These Shows...
Where RACIST UNDERTONES...
Have Been Blown Off As JOKES... ?!?

So Now The BANDWAGON...
Is Starting To CAPTURE...

A LOT of You Folks...
Who Had NOTHING To Say...
AGAINST Shows That Displayed
Subtle Levels of Hate...
And... Bigoted Ways... !!!

So Of Course Now The Gays...
Are Making STRONG Claims...
About The Racism That’s Been Unforgiving...

That Is Yes JUST THE SAME...
As The Hate That They Face... ?!?

I’ve Said It Before And I’ll Say It AGAIN...
Those Who Have ENTERTAINED...
And Have Earned LOTS of PAY...
Since WAY BACK IN THE DAY... !!!

Even With... Closets CLOSED... ?!?
Seemed To STILL Get On Shows...
Where Black Folks Were Told NO... !?!

Because They Could... “Hide”...
Who They Were DEEP Inside... !!!

Which Black Folks CANNOT Do... !!!

And Those Words Are TRUE...
So DON’T Get It Confused... !!!

Could We Paint Ourselves WHITE...
And Simply... EASE On Through...
And Be Part of White Crews... ?!?

I DON'T Think So Do You... ?!?

So Now The Bandwagon’s FULL...
of All Kinds of... COOL Crews...

But... Is That The TRUTH... ?!?
People Should THINK It Through... !!!

Cos’ Black Lives Have Been SHATTERED... !!!
... LONG BEFORE Black Lives Mattered... !!!

And... MANY A Chapter...
Have Still NOT Been Factored...
Into HOW These Things Happened... ?!?

So I’m One Who Holds ANGER...
Who DOESN'T Feel FLATTERED...
By All These NEW FACTIONS...

And Their DISSATISFACTION...
That Is NOW SO APPARENT... !!!

Because... Black Lives Matter...

Because They’re Just JUMPING...

On The....

“Black Lives Bandwagon “...

A taste and scent I know

I look in the mirror
I wonder who I see
I perceive and see back the eyes of my ancestors
Who and how many
As time goes on. As I meet persons whom evoke and revive some.
It becomes clearer but more crowded
Who do I follow
Who do I remember
Who do I forget
How do I honour them
How do I respect

In my food
In my hair
In my skin and in my breath
All I know are banana leaves and how the smell and taste

Bob Said These Words...
So... " OVER - Stand "... !!!

"You can't tell the woman, from the man ?"

And NOW These Words Are RARELY Heard...
Because The TRUTH Is Now IN VIEW...

Transgender Education...
For The Next Generation... !!!
While Peoples' Confusion...
Is Now... POLLUTING...
The World We're Using... !!!

So MANY ABUSING In Institutions...
Where It's CLEAR They Are CONFUSING...

Their Actions of... COLLUSION...
With Those of... AMUSEMENT... !?!

... " Midnight Types "...

Work In The... SPOTLIGHT... !!!
Cos' They Like To Moonlight...
AWAY From....................... "sight".....

You Have To Wonder...
What's In Their Minds...
As They Put ASUNDER...
What's Wrong From Right...

Marley Used MUSIC...
Like These People Use FUSES...
To... IGNITE Midnight...
With Light Personified...
As Confusion In The Heads...
of The... " Midnight Types "...

The FREAKS Who COME OUT...
In The... Middle of The Night... !!!

Because of Who They Be...
When They Look INTO The Light... !!!

The LIGHT That Resides...
In CONFUSED POLLUTED Minds... !!!!

The... " Midnight Types "...
Who Ride Like Knights...
Who Have NO SIGHT...
And Have NO TIME...

To ENERGISE... And FREE Themselves...
of The Passengers They FIGHT... !!!!!

The PASSENGERS They CANNOT Quell...
When DARKNESS Meets Their Light...

Within These Simple Messages...
Are HOMAGES In Rhymes...
To One of Our GREAT Messengers...

... " Bob Marley "...
" Truth and Rights "... !!!

These Words Are Simply...

....... " Vestiges ".......

of What He Saw In Life...
The... " Midnight Ravers "...

Doing Things...
That CLEARLY BLEW HIS MIND... !!!!!!
So Now I'm On... " The Ride "...
THIS One That We Call... " LIFE "...

These Days I Don't Feel Strong...
But Just Like Bob Said In His Song...

I Say...

"People RIDE ON...
That's Right People, RIDE ON...."

Because My Words May Not Be Heard...
But THIS I MUST... Pass On...............

Marley Was A LEGEND...
As Were Bunny And Tosh... !!!

Ravers With Those Flavours...
That Made People... " RIDE ON "...

So As I End This Piece of Verse...
THINK of The Wailers Song... !!!
And REMEMBER My Poetic Vibes...
That Now Speak On These......

... " Midnight Types "...

So YES People RIDE ON...
YES YES People RIDE ON...................
