Where We Stay
Marvin Gaye wants
To revolutionize wrong rights
And to god he rants
Impeding all too familiar fights
And Bob didn’t do that.
So government reclines with a frown
To a bob, who’s no rat.
Question: Who did shoot the deputy down?
The amorous BEP vs.
The CIA, Blood, Cripps & KKK
Odium to discrimination, carnage, affliction, inhumane and curses
Hovering to hanker after this fuming tornado of human debts to closing stage
And Alicia’s “streets of new York”
All about street *oes
And why they PREREQUISITE to fork
And the dead with bullet holes
Our fragile strength resembling wood
But: “It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day
It’s a new life, and am feeling good”
And the children’s sun is where we stay
Dedication to Alicia Keys, Black Eyes Peas, Michael Buble, Bob Marley, and Marvin Gaye
