Cancer

Shell on my back

Claws poised to attack

if necessary,

but I prefer to retreat - 

angled into a hole.

Whole souled visionary – eyes on top;

wouldn’t swap this body for any of God’s other creations.

I embrace my limitations.

Power is in balance – Maat;

and weakness or rather meekness

evens out the strengths, all I got

was given, God- driven; divine

A light in this dark Kali-yuga time.

Spinning in the middle of

Dodecahedrons,

my inner clock sounds an outer alarm - 

Swarm!

Like manuka honey bees

around the most forbidden tree.

Find the kundalini sitting on a branch – awake.

Time to put it to sleep 'cause its getting kind of late

to remain in this state -

Coiled, spoiled, foiled and

boiled;

scrambled, poached, over too easy,

hard-fried greasy

like chicken on a hot southern day

in May.

Mayday, mayday;

the black family is crashing,

smashing

into societies depiction on de picture screen

I mean T.V. - 

Terror and violence;

Titillation and vanity;

Toxicity and venom;

Terrorism and viscosity;

And we pay for this?  Cable…

Cain and Abel –

Making unsturdy what was once stable.

Turning fact into fiction, fantasy and fable,

taking black royalty and giving them white labels

like: Housewives, Hoes and Video Vixens -

Might as well call them donna, dancer, and blitzen.

Magical brown deer

that only exist

because a jolly white man ejaculated Christ

and didn’t miss.

Sitting North with his pole

Instructing brown dears to use their gifts

While he convinces us all

that it’s rain dear, not piss;

Bliss!

We take our golden showers.

Blinded!

We let them take what’s ours.

Misinformed!

We support their wars.

Foolish!

We follow celebrities

Instead of cosmic stars.
