CLAUSTRO-NOT-SO-PHOBIC
My window sill is ebony black
glass still web on it,dark
rain spills everything cracked,
sealed shut
to keep out
the elements,the dust and the clout
that have my eyes sticking out
enjoying the view
or trying to spy joy in the view
notice what's new
the smoke,fire and stew
but still peeping
still creeping
still sticking indoors where it's safe
where the lies and AK's can't reach my ear
spew idea's that instil fear,
in the still clear consience thats my
olny guidance
coz only guys dance to gun-shots like butch and Sundance...
Has me knowing that its not safe outside
not safe to run behind Bolt if you aint Tyson,
and not safe to eat ice-cream if you ain't Marvin
fate using us as live bait
as we wait
we're preyed on by opportunity
sprayed on by urea's acidity
laid on by explicity
so torn by ethnicity
that we don't recognize the melanin,
the pigment that makes us alike,
or different
all like the contrast that's God's intricate design
not destined for confusion like that time at Babel
or now when we con everything,
from con-stituency to con-tinental with con-sistency
we even con fusion...
Killer priests
with killer cysts
who insist on charitable assists...
Some from Nice others Espana
some who Renato Sessana our innocent vijana
mocking The Lord while singing Hosana
out of spite...
But who are we to judge,
to throw the first stone
when the givers have one hand in your pocket
the beggars exposed to bullets
the albinos our own version of leperchauns
our greed after the pot of gold they've hidden
at the end of the rainbow
driven by egos we soil where we go
emphasizing the fact that man is man's worst enemy,
in this man-eat-man existance that worries me
so the walls around me,they know me
they protect me from me
they eaves-drop as i channel my pleas and petitions to my maker...THE GRAND ARCHITECT...
They protect me from the grand scheme of things,
the suicide bombers directing their fury to the wrong place...
The ashoessinators who love dead presidents but aim retired ones
the jobless friends who mug and maim retired bums
for a meal
our to-be-brides who hit it with our dads
for extra credits,give head to Deans as old as our grandads
and the mystery that's survival
so i sit behind this veil that's oblivion,
this smoke screen that's smoke and mirrors,like its a drill...
Waiting for that moment when doom ricochets on these same walls and puts me out of this stifling space that's caving in by the minute,
no guns or roses,
or guns and roses,
just blood and cartilage splattered on cement,
ashes to ashes,
dust to dust,
and Peace.
