#Philosophistication

Chava walks towards the tree,
plucks the fruit; takes a bite
then everything goes berserk;
Eye opened, enlightenment towards
sense it begins to loot...

See the truths;
Genocides, switching sides,
black holocaust since Alkebulan,
Columbus is in the mind,
Rhodes in the railway lines,
devils in the mines, Gumboot
jive for an institutional prize,
oppression maximized,
propaganda digitized,
trending media lies, Floyd
and Sankara died for mines',
poor Jim Crows still gentrified,
truth still sanitized by sweet serum,
no one knows the truths of the slums,
white squatters in the South; Google
biased now, too many martyrs overdose
on the drug, black folk in the mud,
ablute and the ravens come down,
dust to dust bring the dustpan,
looted Africa and left a diabetic lifespan,
molested Africa in a missionary stance,
black book culturally appropriated
to manipulate the sons.
Shoot the guns, burn the facilities,
burn the trees, pluck the fruits, taint
the leaves, strange fruit; lynched
from the tree of life, dangling with
cracked bleeding feet, tired of many
resting in peace in the hands of Herod
holding a piece.

Throat on a leash, unemployment
leaving most in the streets,
what's education when we're reading
theses from racist academics,
Wildrow Wilson's racist ethics,
with this so-called freedom we're gambling,
melanin hating plaintiffs, grief
an everyday reason for belief,
no relief for the enslaved, no peace
for those left dead and stiff,
most have wept and some have swept
their kin's ash, snatch the stash
from the system's bag, our matrix lags,
it's too painful to see through
the darkness that is enhanced with the
death of another crowd, cry aloud,
pout to the...
