“no selves. only 12 hr
barbaric killing of niggers
and white ass working class
motherfuckers with
hard hands.”

amid impulses
of intermittent pain
i reach to grasp
my life again
tormenting me
are all the world’s
troubles and misery
people only want
space to breathe
but greedy oppressors
and their taxes and fees
will not let us be
free
as the seasons turn
there are always
new lessons to learn
as the seasons turn
all lessons
become confirmed
it is a shame
that people are chained
to time
preset-cycled minds
encoded bodies
produced for crime
there is no wrong
when a baby is born
there is only wrong
when the human family
is cheated and torn
work and backbone
are what get things done
building Creation
inspiring the lasting songs

truth is what
we are after
it cannot get here
any faster
truth is what
we are after
nothing else
should really matter
workers, rednecks,
wetbacks, niggers
we are better than this,
we are bigger
the ugly politician
bribes all of
the hungry children
the ugly politician
bribes all of
the lonely humans
truth is what
we are after
too long we
have been courting disaster
truth is what
we are after
it cannot get here
any faster
