Freddie Robinson Jr. Poet Dramatic Verse

License To Breathe

Publican politicians talk in half-price right angles
Dodge City liberty
being smoking barrel bargain sold 
at a chill, 
Colt-45 degrees
AC (alcoholic crops) bootleggers selling 
Prohibition license to breathe

Drunken Al Capone clones
riding shotgun, 
spit spraying
automatic fire taxable oppression

Seasoned Caesar bag men love to casino dangle,
dance the Charleston Charlottesville style
Beat the audit odds with one-handed guile

Then sell out citizen we with gangsta ease,
rubbing out the actuary numbers
on our license to breathe

Tricky politicians speak Publicanese,
extorted exhalation
which wafts on a fabricated breeze

Pharaoh sons got a prison labor farm 
gaming system,
printing free Monopoly money
to pyramid scheme burn

Ashes from cremated capitalist leaves
market fluctuate
on a jaded, emerald breeze

Covetous Equus heads, 
harnessed to paper cloud chariots,
snorting war ozone air

Trojan horses wanting Roman legion liberty,
are told ain’t nothing Spartan sold shogun free

Dodge City living dead property
ain’t got no 
Colt-45 trigger zombie release
Death stench in the decaying air
is crypt coming from 
inhaled depths of iron lung oxy robbers 

So don’t smoking barrel bother 
to try and take a dirt-free emancipated sneeze,
if you don’t have a burial license to breathe
