Poem: Watts Is Burning
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: July/2014


Run children run!
Run sister run!

 black smoke,

permeates
through
Watts -

Run pass
the
looting,

Run down
the
land mine
streets,

Run pass
the house
that's 
no longer
your home -

Pt 1
He represents his set, with 
Every breath he draws,
He makes color his priority,
Matisse with machine gun,
Splurging Rothko’s’ vengeance 
On the blue bodies of Americas renegades.
A Blood, from Compton
The roar of stolen 
Car engines, echoes...

though as a youth he wasn’t good,
but then Joan cured him of all that,

THE BANDANA AND THE HAT

R.I.P Big Poppa,
Biggie Smallz Junior mafia,
One & only shot-stopper.
R.I.P Pac the Makavelli,
Amaru Shakur the legendary.
The two were a force, others secondary.

Tracks rolling in and more in...

Born and bred in Volta
Crawled from beneath no slack
One dream to be a better
Of who I was yesterday an update
Gone through the white the black
Still standing firm an upgrade

when they found her body in a grave near Sweet Home.

thanks to Jesse Compton and methamphetamine.

Couldn't stop my shoulder jerk
When thrillers bassline thrilled
When moaning teen spirits nirvanaed
When curry's lips curled in anticipation
Chilled in Kalifornia Tupac at my side
Bumped and Snooped by Compton corners
Spent Heaven by a dashboard light
Lost kings
Fallen Madonna

Being used as a tool with free, yeoman's work.
