as much as people go on about freedom of speech
of expression
i'm sure you'll agree, there's no such thing
too many lights of life have been snuffed out by those who enjoy darkness, for us to ignore or to lie about the matter
too many of us have
come under deep attack been wrongfully judged mistreated isolated jailed sent away ill spoken of...
the unjust reaction to truth being shown lived SPOKEN OF and to...
is alot
so it's no wonder so many of us feel as though something we can't quite name or
put a finger on...
*some thing* keeps us quiet when we're meant to shout out
keeps us on mute when we need to be heard
keeps us wordless when
all we want are the words
our heart so desperately
FEELS and resonates to
it's alot
and many many generations are the maimed
whether you abide by the teaching in the
Holy Book or not, your melanated DNA senses
must be tellin’ you — this is it
this is NOT a test, we are 🔛 & POPPIN’
we stumbled our way into an uncomfy space
of no-turnin’ back, smack dab in the middle
of “you can barely look it in the face”
outta sight times...drenching our senses
and surrounding us on all sides
