Holy Roman Empire
and its Hakenkreuz.
I hear it in my spirit,
It starts to fall,
Flake even.

In open areas of sylvan and pastoral jazz.

On the iron plating of
Spandau, situated at
The confluence of the Havel and Spree.

Along the rails of "we the children from
Zoo Station."

Inside the books about
Katharina, the burned out postmaster.

And at no daylight, no time frame
—the Final Solution, Auschwitz.

I hear it in my spirit,
It starts to fall,
Tell me how I fear it.
Do we buy hatred for our health?
Is it really worth the taste?
Hakenkreuz [ hah-kuh n-kroits ] : a *******, especially that used as the emblem of the **** party and the Third *****.

All lives matter!!
If you have to nominate a colour then you aren't the solution.

I wear an old 45 for skin.
Side A is the surface you see;
White and pale under our winter's skies,
But much darker by September.
Side A does a fine job
Keeping my entrails in.
I like the harmony, beat and rhythm of it.

Side B of my skin is harlequin,
A melting *** of mosaic colours
You can't see,
But if you listen,
My lyric is a palette of hues.
A 45 is a record with two songs. One on Side A, one on Side B. Whereas Trump is also #45, but he's two dimensional at best. :)

I Bear... NO RELATION...
To... IGNORANT Nations... !!!

Cos' My Mental GESTATION...
Seeks... UNIFICATION... !!!

of Nations Now... OBSESSED With How...
They FIT The Mould of Being BOLDER...
Than Those CONTROLLED By Nations Unknown...
Who Seem To Roll Like HUMAN Trolls... !?!

By This I Mean THOSE …
Who Like To RUB Shoulders...
With Government Folds And Corporate **'s...
Whose Nation Now GROWS …
From … Financial Goals... !!!

But What Has Been SHOWN …
Is … How It Is COLD... !!!
And LACKING Direction …
INJECTING Connections...

Practical... Factual...
DENYING Collateral...
DAMAGE That's  SAVAGE …
Like Nations That RAVAGE...
For Power They Manage …
Like REINS That MISS Carriage... !!!!!

Did You Get It... MISS Carriage... !?!

A Vision of... JUSTICE...
That's BRAVER Than... DAVE... !!!!!

Let Me Say That AGAIN... !!!

A Vision of... JUSTICE...
That's BRAVER Than... DAVE... !!!!!

Cos' Now Nations Are Played...
Like... " MLB Games "... !!!!

REPEATEDLY... " Stationed "...
To CLAIM... BAD Vibrations... !!!

My Nations' IRATION' Is Written On Paper...
Through Thinking That's GREATER...
Than Nations of... HATERS... !!!

Because My Collation …
of Thoughts Breed Creations...
That Stand For RELATING …
Written DELECTATIONS... !!!
That YES Speak On HATRED …
And THINKING That's Vacant... ?

But Speak For... " ONE REASON "... !!!
To Poetically SEASON.... UNIFICATION....

of Nations … PROCLAIMING...
Themselves To Be WORTHY...
of... MASS ADMIRATION...
And Yes... ELEVATION... ?!?

ABOVE HUMANS Now CLAIMING...
ONE RACE As... Our...

… ” Nation "..
So many denominations of nations, when we should by now, be unifying under the Human Nation that we all belong to, which shouldn't require a death, like that of George Floyds' RIP. to create the type of protestations that we're now seeing !

Okay I Know This Seems... OBVIOUS To Say...
But You CAN'T Like EVERYTHING At The End of The Day... !!!

But Let Me EXPLAIN What it Is That I'm Saying... !!!

What I'm Meaning Is...
ACCEPTANCE Is A BETTER Thing...
Than Acting Like You've LOST A LIMB... !!!
Because You've Been OFFENDED By SOMETHING... ?!?

We ALL Get OFFENDED... DON'T We... ?!?
Or Are WE... PERFECT Beings... !?!

It's CLEAR That We KNOW...
The Answer To... THAT... !!!!!!

So RECOGNISE That LEANING...
Towards An... ANGERED State...

May NOT Be The BEST Thing For Your BRAIN... !!!!!
You Either LIKE Things Or You... DON'T... !!!
And That's The Way Things Go...

What People SAY Is THEIRS To SAY... !!!
So Walk AWAY If You... CAN'T RELATE... !!!!!!!

RELEGATE... " Rage "...
To A... DIFFERENT Space... !!!

TRY To TOLERATE...
As The Brits Would SAY... !!!

NOW I'm NOT Saying THAT... !!!

If Someone's WORDS...
DO Make You Feel MAD... ?

HOW Are You Gonna....
CHANGE That FACT... ?!?

What I'm Saying IS...
Maybe... DON'T REACT... !!!

Take A BREATH..................................
And YES.................................... Step BACK... !!!!

YES Words Can HURT...
But They're ONLY WORDS... !!!

Do You GET IT Now... ?!?

I've Really Been Leading This Piece To SPEAKING...
About ARTISTRY... And HOW It's RECEIVED...

Let It Be FREE............................... ...................
So Humanity Can ACTUALLY SEE...
If Our Mental States Can TRULY RAISE...

And Take Us To A Place...
ABOVE The Woes of... TODAY...

YES I Mean RACE...
IMMIGRATION HATE And Monetary WASTE... !!!
And So Much MORE That's... INHUMANE... !!!!!

Artistry...

Is Much The SAME... What We CREATE...
Really Has NO PLACE Being Censored Kid... !!!?!!!

TRY Censoring GUNS And The Use of BOMBS... !!!!!!!
But REMEMBER The Phrase BEFORE Making CLAIMS... !!!

Ya KNOW...

" Ya CAN'T Like EVERYTHING ! "...

But CAN DICTATE...
What it Is You CHOOSE...
To Absorb And INFUSE... !!!!!

So THINK About The Words...
Contained In This Verse... !!!!!

And REMEMBER That It's NOT A SIN... !!!
But The TRUTH Is THIS....

.... " You Can't Like Everything ! "....
Folks, You REALLY CAN'T.

WE CAN’T BREATHE
WHEN YOU COVER OUR MOUTHS.

Donate. Vote. Raise awareness. Sign petitions. Protest. Educate yourself and others. Email authorities and those who can make concrete change. Use your voice. Advocate for equal rights. Share ways others can help. Let’s end this madness Now.

Just because I'm different
They give harsh criticism
They're always rough
But they've not had enough

Closed minded people
Their faces showing disgust
Making me live in fear
Without getting things clear

They know it hurts
But they won't stop
They just don't care
So I shouldn't either

No matter what they give
I shouldn't mind their judgment
I shouldn't hold resentment
Because I have to survive

I sit alone in an English garden
And gaze in awe at sunset sky
Where colours paint a masterpiece
So exquisite to the eye
From deep maroons to orange fire
It fades into a yellow fan
And sprinkles specks of fading clouds
That sink to rendezvous with dawn
And as I marvel at this display
In silence and at evening's rest
I think of those so far away
Undergoing violent fiery test
Across the sea and over time
A million voices rage and cry
At evil acts by law's decree
That can no longer be denied
Where justice is not black and white
And hate's hunger is so overfed
For authority is on white pages
In ink that reads a ****** red    
An army of intolerance
A brotherhood of hate
Bedecked by badge of bludgeoning
And tazer in each state
Crushing spirit and stealing peace
While demanding our respect
While shocking limbs and rocking lives
And kneeling on the neck
Instilled with warped ideology
That debases human mind
Tainted white superiority
And so divided of humankind
But where is hate's validity?
How is it justified?
Where is their authority
To harrass and to divide?
For none can claim to be the first
To be the proudest purest race
For America was full of colour
Before Europe found that place  
Did these men not swear an oath
To “disharge faithfully and well”
And defend all citizens equally
And truth to uphold and to tell?
And did they not seal their oath
With promise solemn and divine
Proclaiming liberty and devotion
“So help me God” the final line!  
And what do we know of our creator
Is he so hard and partial too?
Is God's likeness just caucasian
Or is his love both fair and true
His words are there for all to see
In the Bible's pages plain and clear
That God does not show favouritism
But loves all those who hold Him dear
For when the greatest artist made
The races that dwell on earth today
He used a pallet and brush of life
And a million colours to stroke and splay
For this world is not black and white
Nor grey or dull and monochrome
But is crowned with dazzling glorious colours
No shade is missing, no not one
So if it pleases God to paint
This earth in colours of his love
Then surely skin of many colours
Must be a gift of God above
So please Mr Police Officer
Before you terrorize more souls
Because their skin is not like yours
Be sure you know your cause and goal
For it is not for liberty
Nor for honour that you whack
And do not think that God approves
Of your vile and prejudiced attacks    
For you dishonour that badge you wear
And the land that you protect
And with every blow you turn to black
You **** the law and lose respect
And in case you think me biased
And writing to support my kind
Please know I am male and white
And just like God, I'm colour-blind
For all of my black brothers and sisters worldwide

We're Now In Some...

... " TROUBLED Times "... !!!

So Many Crimes... !!!
And Yet We KEEP...
"Ignoring".................. SIGNS.... !!!!!

But Here's The Crime... !!!
Your Loved Ones Life...

Cos' You Were Told To...

... " Hold The Line ! "...

People Die Okay That's Fine...
But Something's FLAWED In New Designs... !!!

Police...

CLAIM To... " Save Our Lives "...
But RARELY Get To Us In Time...

Unless You're WHITE Then You're Alright... !!!
CHECK The Stats'... I'll Bet I'm Right... !!!!!

But COLOUR Ain't The Point of This...
It Is A Factor... DON'T Dismiss... !!!

What I'm Saying Is... I ABHOR... !!!  
Those Who Are... ABOVE The Law... !?!

If I SHOT Someone In DEFENCE... !!!
I'm Bound To Get A LONG Sentence..................... !!!!!

Behind BARS And STUCK In Jail... !!!!
With NO CHANCE of... Getting BAIL... !!!

But Here's THE THING... !!!
When INNOCENTS DIE From Police Shootings... !!!
Police DON'T Seem To Feel The STING... ?!?
Like The Bereaved of Their... VICTIM... !!!!!  

They Just Get Holiday Outings...
And... "PROTECTION"....
For Their KILLINGS And ASSAULTS.... !!!!!!

While Men Like Me Are Told To...
.......... " HALT "........... !!!

"Excuse me sir, is this your car ?"...

"Nah, it came from a shooting star !!!
and before you ask, i'm really from Mars !"...

"Searg, this fella thinks he's smart !!!?...

"Right, let's call The National Guard !"...

"What, just for me, don't shoot me please !!!
I don't want an autopsy !!!"...

"Right, are you gonna come quietly,
cos' we're arresting you for too much cheek !"...

"Okay Okay, but, take these handcuffs off my feet !!!"...

Did You Find Those Words Funny... ?  

Well If You Did You Just Don't See...
That This Is The Start of... TRAGEDIES... !!!

Blacks Who DIE In... "Custody"...
instead of Reaching Eighty Three... !!!!!

So FAR This Has Not Been Me...
But Now I Write True Poetry...

Will They Come....
LOOKING For Me... ?!?

It's A Matter of Time....
Let's Wait And SEE Which Policy...

I Infringe Like Muhammad Ali... !!!!!

Freedom of Speech Is What We NEED...  
In Troubled Times Such As THESE... !!!!!  

On Local Streets...
I Don't Wanna Hear... " FREEZE "... !!!!!
Like Some Cop Show On My..... " TV "......  

TV... INFECTS Mentalities... !!!

Be Careful What You Watch...
I'm Begging You PLEASE... !!!

From Satellite Feeds To London's Streets...
That's Why NOW I'm Trying To LEAVE... !!!
And Find A BETTER Place To Be... !!!  

Without GREED And POVERTY... !!!

"WAKE UP V, You're In A DREAM !"

"Leave me, let me, fall asleep,
and just recline, and ease my mind,
before I find, myself resigned
to fall victim, of........

open your eyes
we're living in 
a colonized culture
built upon 
oppression and lies

coincidence
no
this is
injustice faced
due to someone’s race
read it backwards.
