Numb
Perilous times have come, that’s what he said to me.
Days are but dreams, headlines are now a bed to me.
Grief and pain are like oxygen, peace is now dead to me.
What’s a warrior to his reflection if bull ish gives the lecture?
We die daily, not to sin but for the sake of being….here
As tears tear hearts, time’s words are stuttering to a whisper
Martin Luther or Malcolm?
The reformation shall be digitised.
Contact lenses become arm’s length embraces
Blue screen is cool if you can get it
We burn as charcoal, silently burning whiter than white
Why is it always so black and white?
Killing grounds we traverse as sacrifices in waiting.
What’s denial of our differences?
For the answer ask Rachel
We can’t remove our makeup!
Matter is an atom so where’s the thought for black lives
A hashtag is all that resides
We speak until we’re blue rarely reaching the bluest eyes
I’m living black going blue inside

Bos’n What?
They caught them
They caught them
Caught the suspect
Now they’re being sus pecked
Are they sure they did it?
Lying in a boat under a tidal wave of outrage
In the backyard where the law’s come to play
Are they sure they did it?
What happened to being dark skinned?
What happened to being Saudi
Maybe still a muslim
What is it about them
Worst since 9/11 or just Oklahoma?
Even if they didn’t do it they’re about to catch law coma
Are we bout to lose sight of drones in Iran
Tyrannical glaucoma
Bed time for bad news
Would all chechens disown em?
Who did they work for?
Surely they’re not alone
America wins again
Straight to DVD or will it blow the rest out of the market for silver screen and real gaming
Are North Korea going to laugh and take another aim
Pop a warning flare just to up the game
Who’s got the bigger muscle
was this simply you’ve been framed
I don’t know
Have you any doubts in tow
On back of what I see there can only be death row
They’ll be in their own boat
Unmarked 6 under
Which country will this be another excuse to plunder?
Will they drone strike all 50 states
Or those with an immigrant face
Will blacks and arabs get a pass
Or will they resume service another day?
For the families of the victims and the injured I pray
Never forgetting millions more die in bomb blasts every day
They wont get the rolling headlines
Or even a headstone
In a war on hate, my love reaches out alone
They were kings for a day, then died on the throne
Does the American Dream still exist
Being taken out by your own?

Lonely Are the Brave
Lonely are the brave,
David was a single man
Married to the stones throw
Took liberty with a single hand
Obama has no spin for now
Behold us home on foreign land
I dream of fish
The anthem of the underground
Lives of others are our own
Freedoms lost to symbols in the sand
The roar of advertising hoards
The scent of hounds caught
Colour blind gentiles wishing they thought
Fox prophets not Mayans forethought
Forefathers forewarned
You play in the NDAA asking who dropped the ball?
Drink to Change Y’all
Rewind, reframe, he promised change Y’all
He brought change y’all
You sliced the turkey he gave your rights away Y’all
Happy New Years Day…Nah
Let the globe fall in Times Square
Cos Time’s square
Made your bed you better lie there
You might die there
1.5 million background checks in six days?
Civil war on the horizon, no more crime there
Fewer people owning more guns
No mention of hip hop are they high there?
Cheap rhetoric woven like denim in wool clothing
The island is now the Octagon you’re in a fight there
Paid off the bill of rights like a poker debt
Goodnight Terror Hello Education
Soundtrack to the Struggle
Low key abomination
My insides out sight
Live amongst web sites
Detain and kill poet
I’ll take a shot to the head write
Paralytic insight
Everybody has their price tag
I’m just trying to be lead right
Bullets cost privacy
We got to be dressed right
So much food for thought
Who wants to be fed right?
Chess Boxing and Politics
Idolatry frivolities
Mixed race Mixed Messages
It’s in his nature no apologies
Slanderous sugar sweetens coffee cups
Jihad is everywhere
Who told you not to give a F***
Bank rolled you to give it up
Great Land of America have your balls shrivelled up?
Have you learned to zip it up?
Little Britain I ain’t started yet
America stopped saying suck?
NDAA hockey game
Human rights are the puck
Oh the Land of the Free………and the Home….of the ……Brave

The Watcher
We live to garner misty eyed history
What’s the jewel in a vision when a fool can twitter wisdom?
Rumours fuel the cistern, news drives the piston
Gears of war we shift them
Buy into the download without questioning trade position
Occupy, religion, a petition for peace
A theism will be the currency of the beast
You’re a zone soon timeless imprisoned by reservoir dogs
Chanting for the real man as though man can really be God
Trying to educate Rita’s I wonder why we bother
It’s like impregnating women that don’t want you as the father
Time to face the ugly truth, talk about pre-Madonna’s
Charisma carpenter’s superficial
Seems we’re finishing in the darkness
Fighting the fiction of forefathers
Enshrined in Jean Paul Sartre
Claiming to be Levite rooted amidst a climate of dishonour
Fiscal factions, code masters, program us to disarmour
The liberty once fought for
When’s the roll going up yonder?
Has earth ever been this sombre?
The romance of advances an antidote to privacy
Increase taxes in broad daylight
Yet want to jail us for prayer and piracy
Minority reports, majority too blind to see
Animosity retorts truth is a crime, believe
Elohim mixed spit with dirt
My template for life in rhyme to bleed.
So Sick it’s almost tasteful
Tell your ears grab a plateful
So much Scheisse’s served in factual fable
I wonder are we Cain or Able?
The governments lost its bite
The army seems so sabre
Bobby Caldwell brought the light
Now we’re spotting signs of illumination
Earthquakes, typhoons volcanoes
An ex Fugee helps the Haitians
Black panthers are chocolate Nazis
Who never get de nominations
Napalm’s the new facial
Post a picture to your Facebook
You’ll see a Christian observing Ramadan
Before a Sharia leader tastes pork
Cos gaining status is a cakewalk
Is that incite or hate talk?
Fork in the revelation?
When some folks job is to ignore
I wake them with this my resignation
I’m just an apprentice baker
Serving a piece of peace to the creation
What is the truth of freedom?
When speaking your mind is inflammation
See they tie us to the net
Drip feed us degradation
Wiki leaks are demonised
Yet divorce is information
Consumerism is a religion
Where every guru gains a saint hood
Some worship fame and money
Then claim to the world there aint a God
Am I a bible basher because I dare to name God?
Mass conversions on the rise, trending topic, it aiint hard
There’s no tape for me to duct down so join my fight on the same card
In time a poet will be known as saying instead of their name
The bar(re)d
