Oklahoma

I just watched the SAE video and I'm not sure where to begin. . . I'm from Oklahoma, it's responsible for all the chagrin in my pen All this tension is merely misconception of our inception Please show me one person that chose the color of their skin Our pigment evolved with our environment, Charles Darwin In 1963 MLK told us we should only judge by one's character within Do we not listen or do we just have an addiction with affliction? Because 52 years later we still can't seem to grasp that we're all kin It's ironic, black & white aren't even colors, just tricks of our vision Prick anyone's finger, I bet the color they bleed is sanguine Caucasian, African, Indian, Asian, why not just Homosapien? Each one of these is simply a label, let's subtract the division and come together and grow, addition & multiplication Anything that suggests otherwise is fiction promoting friction You are IT, I am IT, this it IT, that is IT, it's called Zen We're parts of an infinite whole, light and dark, yang and yin I'm not a psychic or a doctor but I have a prediction & a prescription If we continue our traditions Gaia will soon issue an eviction and she won't ask permission before her infliction of jurisdiction Do you realize our position? We can have utopia or extinction The world has never been so connected but we lack connection All we need is admission of our condition, there's no encryption Let's swallow our pride and direct our ascension with intention I'm on a mission to paint crystal clear depictions with my diction This is a poem but simultaneously a prayer, AMEN
