Blind Butterfly

I beat my wings At the moment of exhale Unaware the air had grown stale I was a white washed wasp With no sting in my tale Maybe because daddy bent my mind when he told me I was destined to fail Teacher, you taught me I didn’t need to get high to fly When you exhaled I felt myself sigh You made me try instead of cry To change my flight path I needed a scoop of double-you and why Then the gravity of his depravity couldn’t mystify I became a different guy When my mind stopped buzzing I transformed into a colour blind butterfly with words worthy of a sigh I stopped seeing people through his deranged eyes His heart was willfully unwise I stopped believing those malignant lies We come in many colours “No Justice no peace” Solutions aren’t just one size All parts of society need to rise. Black, white, yellow and brown Those who are up and down Look around your town Let’s listen to each other’s heart pound Don’t fear being woke It’s time to wake up, shake up make a God fearing joyful sound Compassion lost can be found Nobody should be bent or hell bound Look to the heavens for answers while keeping both feet firmly on the ground.
