Oklahoma
I just watched the SAE video and I'm not sure where to begin. . .
I'm from Oklahoma, it's responsible for all the chagrin in my pen
All this tension is merely misconception of our inception
Please show me one person that chose the color of their skin
Our pigment evolved with our environment, Charles Darwin
In 1963 MLK told us we should only judge by one's character within
Do we not listen or do we just have an addiction with affliction?
Because 52 years later we still can't seem to grasp that we're all kin
It's ironic, black & white aren't even colors, just tricks of our vision
Prick anyone's finger, I bet the color they bleed is sanguine
Caucasian, African, Indian, Asian, why not just Homosapien?
Each one of these is simply a label, let's subtract the division
and come together and grow, addition & multiplication
Anything that suggests otherwise is fiction promoting friction
You are IT, I am IT, this it IT, that is IT, it's called Zen
We're parts of an infinite whole, light and dark, yang and yin
I'm not a psychic or a doctor but I have a prediction & a prescription
If we continue our traditions Gaia will soon issue an eviction
and she won't ask permission before her infliction of jurisdiction
Do you realize our position? We can have utopia or extinction
The world has never been so connected but we lack connection
All we need is admission of our condition, there's no encryption
Let's swallow our pride and direct our ascension with intention
I'm on a mission to paint crystal clear depictions with my diction
This is a poem but simultaneously a prayer, AMEN
