Black Rocks

Basing opinions on exceptions to the rule
then turning it into a fist pumping mantra
is for architects of anarchy and dangerous fools-
mostly white precincts aren't the devil's brigade
as the media would lead you to believe
the media want us to kiss their two-sided face
because mayhem and disharmony
bring in the highest of ratings.
Harmony between the races
is a disaster for ratings and ad revenue
and this is what they obsess over
nothing more and nothing less
they could care less about any of us.....
That is why white cop killing black man
is played over and over and over again...
(though police brutality is never to be accepted
it is the exception to the rule)...
Now a white man being killed by a cop
though much more prevalent
just will not get the playing time
not enough of a train wreck to generate interest
but it happens more often to white folks than you think..
yes the death rate for blacks, by percentage is higher
but blacks have many-many-many more conflicts with police 
and black crime rates are astronomically higher than whites.
Now these facts are hard to swallow
and this is where dialogue bogs down in the slop
where the blame game clowns come in 
start to spin our heads around...
then send in the 
screaming clowns-
burn it down to the ground clowns-
looting clowns
beat a different color into the ground clown
I'm done listening to reason clowns
I hate looking in the mirror clowns
all these clowns skip around
the discomfort of the truth crown.

I believe that harmony in any community
starts with God and family
distancing from faith
disintegrates families 
that tend to become fodder
for the beast called 
disharmony...

Some cold hard questions for the clowns:
Why is your good book collecting cobwebs
What have you done for your community
Are you an asset or just a snake in the grass 
Who have you let into your heart and why
Who have you exiled from your heart and why 
Who's dining with you at your table tonight
is there an empty chair or two.. and why
where is your ROCK sleeping tonight and why?
