What can a slave offer anyway... That's the mind of the slave masters and the slaves... What an epical irony transmuted into the genes of the future.. so says, it goes The sins of the fathers... The slave dealing of ancient times, the mill might have been removed but the wind still blows

Sins of the fathers (windmill)
Surely you, Jester. Unduly-expressed. Lambasted, insulted. Abrasive ... au naturel? I think... Surely not. Unless, Had the aforementioned not just the will to rip through my throat,  but too the audacity to penetrate the inclement root you call heart. Well, I had made my decision. and lo! I would have stood by it too; had my own form of insecurity been given the chance to wilt. Not further admonished on how to think. how to act How 'one' should primarily be. Instead I lie bludgeoned, berated; and by the very thing that antecedently spurred   a cascade of unsophisticated giddiness. That too was far from the cry of a Devil-may-care persona. I would almost weep the lost opportunity,   Whereas I should simply, and most ardently Just be.

An ode to this one impression, savagely snuffed before its prime.
Being one to sit in judgement of the black, white, the gay or Arab, To judge another upon history of failures, of isolated events. Should one "remain a black man or black woman" when "Everyone" is "sick of their antics," only focusing on the Negative, a few compared to the whole in madhouse protest? Should I see that gays are unfit for marriage, service, children, Or other things just because of the background of the few? Shall I wrap myself in this ignorance, and let us give into this? Rather than except them in whole? Do blacks simply walk around Town and all alone turn everything upside down? Does a ghetto "Grow" in their wake? Do we not cradle this evil view, this sinister Racist hate? Do we not point the finger of blame at the blacks for Having to fly our confederate flags again and again, clearly not In any manner displaying any white love for them? Shall we believe One bad Apple spoils the bunch, even if there is one in every Crowd, so it seems we must remove all who are in their presence, Yet have nothing to do with their practice? PEOPLE DO...

Real Love (And Actual Ignorance)
There were no blacks In our part of town No Asians, no Latinos None of them around. There were Italians, They were treated well. But anyone of color Might run into hell. Pastel America Everything sort of beige. It’s good to be pink in America. Caucasian is all the rage. Whenever movies showed A crowd of good folk They were all Caucasian And this is not a joke. I was raised on TV shows Like Lassie and ****** And there were no blacks Living near the Cleavers. There was no understanding Of life for any non-whites. When I grew up I saw That little I learned was right. Pastel America Everything sort of beige. It’s good to be pink in America. Caucasian is all the rage. Whenever movies showed A crowd of good folk They were all Caucasian And this is not a joke. There were radio stations then Where black music could not play. They had to get around that Some other sneaky way. That’s how we got Elvis, To fill that gaping lack. He got his first opportunity Because he sounded black. Pastel America Everything sort of beige. It’s good to be pink in America. Caucasian is all the rage. Maybe it will change someday When we all celebrate The diversity of humanity. Wouldn’t that be great?

PASTEL AMERICA
I bet you think all ****** don't read. I bet you think all ****** smoke **** I bet you think all ****** are the same. I bet you think all ****** are the blame. I bet you think ****** don't know nothing about the law. I bet you think all ****** don't know nothing at all. I bet you think all ****** are not smart. I bet you think all ****** don't even care about art. I bet you think all ****** are from the streets. I bet you think, oh **** this poem is getting really deep. I bet you think all ****** carry a heat. I bet you think all ****** are dead beats. I bet you think ****** are thugs. I bet you think all ****** sell drugs. I bet think all ****** are classless with statuses of madness I bet you think all ****** are cashless. I bet you think all ****** are in the penitentiary. I bet you think all ****** are cemetery. I bet you think all ****** rap or trap. I bet you think all ****** sag their pants with two rags and a stockin' cap. I bet  you think all ****** are guilty. I bet you think all ****** are filthy. I bet you think all ****** rob. I bet you think all ****** don't have a job. I bet you think all ****** don't go to college. I bet you think all ****** are out here wylin. I bet you think all ****** are like Christopher Wallace. I bet you think all ****** will grab and ****** you up for your wallet. Some say a prophet, nah I just see it how they call it. Every line is on hydraulics. Every time I rhyme, every word becomes solid.

Blood splatters
In a world full of black and white. Where not a soul could be bothered within their mundane ways. There was a single girl, shining in full blasted, techno-color. In this world of dark hues of haunting shades. Vacant entity's, refuse to look up from scurrying feet. Day in and out, they mooed like cattle. But not the vibrant Crayola girl.   For all she had to do was look up, and she could see her rainbow arching in the clouds. While everyone else, passed her by.
