PoemOfTheMonth: By Nashon Lee (Rebellious Rebel)

"Illusions"



Something must be attacking us

Toe tagging us

Blood stains drip like the fangs on Dracula

Too naive to listen

Ask Mel Gibson where the passion was

Fact is there is no freeedom and dreams get massacred

 

Neighborhood masochists

Everything is about who's got the best fashion sense

Porn star memoires, fucked for that new Louis bag and shit

Harpoon these thoughts like the sharp end of a javelin

Wish i had a machine that time travel travels in

Bring it all back again

Tell JFK to duck before his accident and see what happens then

 

 

Disestablish the establishment

I'm too uncooth

You mean to tell me the truth is I'm too uncool if I'm living average

Will we ever know the truth about the Holy Grail and Mary Magdalane

True lies to make you feel unsafe, insecure, and full of embarrassment

If thats the case I'm ashamed to be an American, George Clooney couldn't even fool me

Don't they know our troops are in Afghanistan for heroin

Zero in the their targets and spark it and they become heroes then, Matt Parkman

Claudette Colvin sat in the front window seat before Rosa Parked it

 

Gestapo vs. Apostles

Now that Osama is dead will they let Sadam go

Who's gonna be the new scapegoat when they let the bombs go

The next Vietnam show

The enlightned, I could see everything with my eyes closed

Blind folds to my ears so I can let my mind go

 

This feels like a Martin Luther set up

Malcom X got wet up because some dude tried to get his bread up

People getting shot must've not been listening to Pac when he said keep ya head up

Snitches on the streets

Do you think the Secret Service will give the Feds up

Everyone is just lost in a game

Couldn't tarnish these names I varnish or exhaust the flames of what I'm saying with a red truck

 

I'm Marcus Garvey hardly

Getting you lifted like the trees of Bob Marley

Measure our success with the afro of Dr. Cornell West

Probably, get an apology for Nelson Mandela and say sorry

And try to progress, stop moving backwards like grown women calling themselves Barbie

Listen to what Minister Farrakhan say

Instead of getting paid cash to show your ass for ads posing like Strange'

 

You wanna get treated equal in this rat race

But how when you have a black face

Greed is color blind

Food for thought

Now how does that taste

 

To be continued

We'll see what's appetizing on another menu
