Black Jack

Life screws us all__so in 
that sense, its *****
In a white neighbourhood 
not far from here
 I once knew a boy
Jack was his name, so 
innocent but coy
To Jack life was amazing
little did he know he was 
trapped in a maze in
the backyard of hell, and 
the core was its basement
so when he realized he 
jumped up in amazement
still carefully trying to 
avoid the cracks in the 
pavement

his mind tries and 
erases__
the weed head on the 
train__blunt express on 
their faces
not everybody looks-at all 
or seems what they be
wish they could drop 
books and ball__like 
teams on TV
to be or not to be__ 
hamlet cried for attention
Shakespeare said was the 
question
but in the absence of life 
there’s surely death, was 
worth a mention
so here was Jacks facet__
join in to save face or 
back out and get braces__
cause surely he would face 
it__now he’s stuck,
faced with a solution to 
the problem__he is 
BLACK !!

he stays all_pen 
minded__ink stains on his 
brain
slowly making its way to 
the cells in his vein
like a prisoner he froze 
from the cardiac arrest__
poker faced__like a spade 
on some waste
the surgeon shoveled his 
way to the heart in his 
chest
he yelled heart here I 
came__I mean come, that 
was dum
but thank God for the 
heart opening surgery
by passed the corona
(ry)__instantly had a 
change of drum
__new beat to his heart
and that was just a start 

Portraying a fake sense of 
freedom
Lucifer came to 
Jack_sons from the 
kingdom
so born again his old self 
had to moonwalk and beat 
it
__cause his word he 
couldn’t feel it 
His soul HE couldn't heal 
it
the suppressants of this 
world made him numb
a bullet proof to his son
but thank God for his plan
 HE shot for his heart, 
perfectly aiming the gun
that’s how Jack stopped 
feeling himself__
that’s masturbating for 
fun !!
