Poem
In the year of a blood moon, they assassinated a King Triple six stamped shrunken head dolls, with voodoo stitched mouths, spit the hate bullets out Brotherhood? Universal unity? Visions of vanilla vanity splattered Eye and eye shot thru — Red, white and blue glass hopes shattered Ebony minds full of empty frames, violently awakened by an assassinated dream A trilling Trump now says the false dream was an Obama-nation: a black stain on the royal flag linen A New American dawn, ushered in by a reverie bugle blown little horn, is the same as the Old Star Spangled one Roll back the progressive tide Maintain a no-oreo attitude; ain’t giving no affirmative helping hand, ain’t getting no voter free ride — Reinstate the purest Antebellum oppression; have the coloreds learn a modern day triple K, neo-Nazi slave lesson Them white-cloaked dragon wizards say, the Civil Rights War is over, chimp boy ... this time the swastika losers got it rebel right! As they drunk revel in coconut milk joy An assassinated dream lying dead on a Memphis balcony A hateful, Egyptian pyramid scheme: bury the King sleeper in a pauper plot In the Shiloh year, a jubilee harvest was reaped under a crimson crescent moon Another American dead-end dream wore a lunar smiling death mask Nowadays, everything ain’t apple pie kosher as it seems Hate assassins have again murdered this lovely dream ... and it's bulrush offspring All Obama legacy Samson ties are severed with mercy so Philistine — a permanent closing of the eyes Purposefully the enemy has exhumed and cremated the decaying bone doctrines of the King, and character assassinated his following Fifty years later, and still picking up the shattered jubilee pieces ... My people keep bosom clutching a King-size misty dream Beggarly holding onto a rejected peace offering
