wish roses were thrown  
used vacant lots
the twenty approaching
reluctantly the curious of George
complete t-shirts visibly vivid
Obama's roulette racism
brand Nubian African sunset
yellow pigment, red Ironman called Mandela
happy belated birthday
beyond deep un-jaded
jotted down pride
artists paid homage
notarized within portrait absorbed to describe
from the start our leaders that was
today's mere figment of imagination
representative self projection
ashamed brother without the our
unity extraterrestrial phone home
camera depicts police beatings
behind the darkest alley
backstreet treaties person of the shield
for the magnolia either black Dahlia
embraced skepticism housed projects
the emperor's new clothes
birthday suit education
ghetto montage won't omit
did declare my own hatred for
combative different young black lid
selfless transition fitted subpoena's
many a poem's poet articulate one they march
with ideas catalyst at the tip
potent privilege conceived safezone
quarantine reflection ill doubt
smuggling effort laziness compressed scars
excess depth loud cycles
planet on panic rewinding Exodus
clashes infantile a toddler son my worry
ain't there atone exemption
storyline all the time
reality anxiety won't breathe the air
though evaporated from skin
psychological tyranny Love's salutations
hello not at all
already wearing loneliness minus wellness
embedded prerogatives worker's block
better job distance a problem
where bus routes barely go
embellish stress candid insanity
felt like murder, but decipher what I hadn't got
