It’s time I saved me

I have given maga enough of my time,
If i thought of me as much as I thought of them I would be perfect,
Or as close to perfection as ai could get.
What’s funnier is dems have done more to stop my progress
Put me on the streets for being sexually abused in foster care,
then put me in jail for making decisions of desperation
while i was climbing the ladder they told me to
then kick the rungs from underneath me for
fighting racism on Westfield State University campus

So I must allow myself to access the threat to my life
are closer than they appear
The greater threat profess to love and care for me
ye not willing to stand with me and help me fight
yet want me to devote my political capital too

like praying to a god that empowers white supremacy
this lunacy that pervades this nation
is more harmful than inflation
yet we excuse it for fear of poverty

Trump greatest power play
is having your family in Military gears on amerikkkan streets
beating your friends while we watch
scream, make signs,
Yet watch

Some of us
not all of us
because the rest don’t care
ignoring the obvious
it’s just practice

I want to help
but because few helped me when i need help
i can only do so little
but more than little i have done
i’m at the brink of powerlessness
In a society that’s is proud of it’s ignorance
I have become the cowboy in the scope
of the Public Enemy logo
and the holder of the long range rifle is a hodge twin
with a steroid filled finger tip
on the trigger wanting to shoot a I’m not using big words today :)
while listening to stolen country tunes
in his ear pods
waiting for his master to give him the nod

I step back
i’m no Dr king, or Malcolm X
i’m encouraging healing and recovery
to a people proudly drunk and high
running from trauma they deny
laughing while I testify
who will come to save I
No Palestinian, no Mexican, no Haitian
no trans, no preacher, no Imam, no Black man
as i take my last breath
my last apology will be to me
because I put all my energy to save those
i’m invisible to
before me

So now i must work to save me
