Anger
Slowly lifts its head
To the nature of the beast
The systematic
Cease of your life
Because of the institution
That is a continuous
Poltergeist on a black
Man's life
Untrustworthy
Demoralizing
Your secrets should not
Have been safe with me
I should have laughed in your face
When you told me
I can lead a horse to water
But can't make him drink
I would have done it
Intravenously
Because to have you
here and now
Is all I can pledge allegiance to
My flag
My promise of
Liberty, freedom and justice
I refuse to give up on you
-your life
Whether or not
You do
There is no pain
More detrimental
And infinite as
Death from my eye view
And I am the living
And I beseech you
Trinkets and bobbles
Entertainment and
Swallows
Nothing more
Nothing less
Tell me
Why is it I thrive
Surpass
The walls you erect at best
To keep me out
Or in my place
No trace of you
In my blood
But it flows
Purely well
Through the recesses
Of the earth more
Fertile and more
Profound
Than you ever will
Give testimony to
Because your whole
Entire existence
Will begin and ultimately end
With you...
But my existence
Will be infinite
In my children
-blood lines flowing
Surpassed you...
