Kiss of Death From the Hair Gun

it spits out the thinnest of dead creation 
paining the one with its deadly stinging kiss   

cry out, no not me 
for i am but a colored crazy slave
with the letter of P. for poor 
and the letter of B. for the unbelieved 
but i must bear it 
just like so many who have before me 

they don't tell 
because who would believe
