Be Aware Mandingo Man
BE AWARE MANDINGO MAN…
Be aware Mandingo man---
Its open season---
The pack-hunting hyena like
Human predators are roaming
As if on an urban savannah safari;
Be aware Mandingo man---
Its hunting season---
Ebony hued panther sheen males---
The game of prey to be picked off
Like coconuts from mothering trees;
Be aware Mandingo man---
It’s shooting season---
The hunters have set their sites
On sable skin male dears
Who must trod urban trail ways
As if cotton balls bouncing on thin ice;
Be aware Mandingo man---
It’s still
Strange fruit
Season---
Today, there’re no sheets to warn you;
Be aware Mandingo man
It’s you know what
Season---
The streets are the new killing fields.
Be aware Mandingo man---
Be aware:
Pow!
