You Got To Comfortable-Keep Hanging On-

"You have air looks like you got too comfortable You can walk you can sneeze Achoo other sink bless you gesundheit Let's not get too comfortable Asleep Blinded by the Light you open your eyes And you see hatred you've gotten too comfortable First in another country you're on the Run He settle down here you're on her run Not accepted cuz of the color of your skin Looks like you got too comfortable There is no prejudice does it matter what color the Rope is You're hung in denial Your body a blazed in the fire Drunken the bitter water Why you agent grandmother hollers And as you hold your breath u-kiss what's left Just as your body sways Your spirits at Bay Physically you have died but your soul has flown away and now you are finally comfortable" 1/20/20 Written word by James Edward Lee Sr 2020
