SEMBLANCE


 

An abundance of unforeseen good and evil...

I witness hatred and ignorance occupy minds

Semblance created to facilitate lies

Our brothers and sisters have been alienated and died

Though radiating in powerful potential

Others degrade, striving to terminate the culture

Nothing short of despisement

Choices built on a foundation of fear as opposed to optimism

Carrying the complexity of a burden bestowed upon me

Little justification of false accusations

Then transcending into admiration subsequently relocated of displacement

Viewed as naturally disobedient, from the adversary turned ally

This very presence has disturbed a twisted peace, Undoubtedly a non sequitur

Racism, Eracism vacillating

Feet no longer held above the fire, yet the burns and scars still inspire  

Infinitesimal luminescence attempting to pierce  through darkness

A revolution slowly beginning to commence

Examined from the face up; skin up

Misguided influence penetrating young morsel minds

Desecrating the image of innocent ebony beings

Genocism and nicknames distorting God's children's frames

Uttermost loathing in the absence of warrant

The system is quite amusing when dissected for viewing

To imitate would be suicide, but to conform and abide would be silly

right?

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law

No longer chained up now, FREE, universal gratuity to a Eagle

These very words might appear as fecal

Nonetheless, I pray that one day there will never be a sequel

And others shall not shelter their eyes but, see as we do...
