Better Fetter Knowledge
Peep this boo message,
if you dare ...
Keyhole knowledge
of what cha’ see-hear
might give you a fetter scare
It’s best not to wanna know,
if you can’t handle
forced transportation
Or cruel subjugation,
by way of
cattle prod relocation
This kinda fetter knowledge
ain’t good,
if you got a
bad heart condition
Seriously wounded pride
can make an injured self-esteem die
Make it go to the fetal prone position
‘Cause everything you wanna do,
you gotta infantile ask for permission
With eyes downcast
(echo this boo thought)
in the womb of freedom sought
With eyes downcast,
it’s doubly tough to keep hopes up
Makes it hard to see
thru the keyhole
into the library space
of your oppressor’s soul
That sacred temple place,
where a taught conscience ought not
be bought or sold
And moneychanger practices
is the cranial golden idol
Chains invisible (of the morally lost)
can now be foundry seen
taking silver tether control
And the mind is a terrible thing
to have compassion melted
in a covetous mold
~
This better fetter knowledge
is a secret apothecary commodity
And it don’t come incensed free
Keyhole peeps can be
back lash costly
Philistine brand iron mercy
Keyhole peeps
of unlocked vision can be
User sight unfriendly
Can you pay the Samson fee?
So peep this boo message,
if you dare ...
I just pray tell,
that you’re not easily
lynch scared
