Dark days everyday
Sirens can be heard a mile away
Black people being accused every day
By white Karens they also say
Trump should of been the president of the united states
As fires rise the smell, burning the lungs

Days of dark are days of death
The feel of death is empty inside
She went to sleep at Rose Hill Cemetery

When we meant gold bars
We ride down the hill
Speed till we get past that bill
Think about wind, passin you 
with the smell of tires
and everything passin you
at the speed of sound
Only hear’n the engine run 
Feel free with the speed
increasing as you leave
This world 
a car is like a room you control

Cuando se cose la comida
Puedo oler la carne asada
Las especiales estan fuerte 
con las ricas cebollas cociendo
hacen mis ojos llorar
Cuando la comida se andar haciendo
Con el olor no me puedo controlar

la hacia mama

all you see 
is Bodies on the floor
War
All you hear
is Gunshots
War
All you got to do is
run

but when it's done
it's not so fun.
After basketball ends
at night there's no people in sight
at home I
think about the victory
when I play the ball
begins to bounce up  
and down. I taste the victory
When I shoot the ball
and I begin to fell the presence 
of a cheering crowd
I go home to see my hoop in the yard
and my legs start
to hurt and that makes it hard
I shoot the ball like
Michael Jorden and when
it falls the crowd was like a  stampede
After I win a game everything
starts to feel the same
After I go home to bed I say
to myself now finally 
I can rest my head.

Separated
Like a ying and yang
Like salt and pepper
Like day and night
Tulsa massacre
still ignites ]]> 2022-05-17 14:52:06 UTC https://padlet.com/smisiak/fhddark7pzdh6sx8/wish/2187771933 War smisiak https://padlet.com/smisiak/fhddark7pzdh6sx8/wish/2187792128 War weakens the weary
WWl WWll WWlll
a Bloody bath of pain
again & again & again
Ukraine, Russia feels no shame
Buildings & bodies blown to bits
I see a man in front of me
pointing a gun in my face
Poison with a bitter taste ]]> 2022-05-17 15:03:12 UTC https://padlet.com/smisiak/fhddark7pzdh6sx8/wish/2187792128
