#4thjuly
Put my emotions in a glass jar,
closed the lid on a real tight.
Set it aside.
Take the next big best thing,
make myself occupied.
Thinking it can make me happy.
Now I can't get through to my emotions
Without having it exploding on me,
like fireworks on the 4th of July.

July 4th 1776 a simple man’s holiday
December 6th 1865 a true man’s celebration
Unalienable rights became truly unalienable
“We the people” stopped meaning “we the white people”
or did it
August 10th 2017 a supremacist’s torch is lit
August 10th 2017 three people did get hit
March 8th 2018 a woman fights back
2018 maybe now they’ll understand

Up above the clouds,
Is the Delta-shaped Mardi Gras
I slow dance to the songs of my demons,
This time; it's a solo dance,
I broadcast every tune,
It's your call to sway or not. . . .
If at all you'd agree to dance to my tormented melodies. . .
