Talking to Myself




Talking to Myself

The world seems a hoax
Reality, a sick nightmare
Dreams, a delusion
Huxley had it right
And Orwell knew something
Observing the rich eating steaks and poor order hamburgers
While the world snorts a crack-like drug called the law

Democrat, Republican
Two sides of the same coin
They got us

As Uncle Sam smile in his rocking chair
As Uncle Tom happily licks watermelon juices off of his fingers
I want to shatter their teeth-
And have them choke on the sediments of all of the lives they have devoured over time
But we don't fight back
As long as our sons and daughters eat ice cream cones and watch television, we don't fight back

Living in the land of the free-
It's obvious everything comes at a price
Death comes cheap,
But its living that's gonna cost ya

And no injuries or conditions, please!
Broken arm, Heart bypass, Lung Cancer
10,000, 20,000, 41,000 dollars when everyone is one check away from skid row
And STD's
Just ask your thirteen year old sister or one of her friends because-
1/4 of the adolescence are carriers
Or go speak to the Black youth, 48% of them have been infected with something!

But what the hell do I know!
Even after I am done, no one will care!
You'll all go back to eating, fucking, and shitting
And the cycle will go on!
And soon, the world will be rid of people like me
...Talking to myself
