The tadpole tries to take its start, While Lotus Flower floats along. The early birds will run and dart— As blackbird hums its morning song. The geese that look suspiciously, And make courageous men retreat. The beavers that we never see— Damn! A cold June; we’d hope for Heat.

Conservative Christians scared of Critical Race Theory Thinking that history can be erased, clearly Dismissing Black Lives Matter with no empathy Not realizing that white supremacy is its own enemy There’s never enough hatred—so it appears The best way for peace—it’s truly sowing your fears Black folk murdered—yet you so in your tiers Put yourself in our shoes—but nobody cares.

Late nights, dark times. The day has died. The sun has shone Another side. That brightness far Leaves us in fear. No single star At sundown here. But nature’s game Is not like man’s. I gain something— You lose your chance? But my progress Is not your loss. And my sunrise Is not your cost.

Hiring managers hopin’ for some tokenism Like Tolkien, I Stan’d alone in this broken system Treat me like the plague yet they ain’t even social distance Never put me in a corner, I always go the distance Opposite day’s the only time that you know I’m quittin’ I got a focused mission, and I’m not about to fail I’m like Daredevil in the kitchen give ‘em hell That’s to anyone who thinks that my people won’t excel
