Basic

Written by C Hues

You learn to never learn
From youth, it’s instilled
To make our history burn
If we live, you’re killed
If we’re right, you’re wrong
If you’re right, we’re left
You never faced the music
For the same song of theft
Murder, rape, and hatred
That is white supremacy’s ballad
To blind you from your own
Yet family’s so sacred
It’s all black and white
Right, everything’s basic.

Sight

Written by C Hues

March 20, 2024

Thank you for torturing and killing us
Raping us, yet you claim you ain’t feeling us
You wear that badge to protect and serve
Sure, making sure good people get what they don’t deserve
Yet karma’s yet to meet men in power
Blame us for crime but commit it yourself
You ain’t crazy? You should be committed yourself
As each day gets darker, our mood more dour
We were never in control, we never had freedom
Yet we still won your wars, but never could lead them
And if we won awards, it was just a gesture
We got medals from other countries that treated us better
Than our own home where we shared blood with whites
The men in power spent their hours in the lowly shacks some nights
And discarded their sons and daughters made bright
No matter how bright—we’re always restricted by sight.

Lauryn

Written by C Hues

There lived a white liberal named Lauryn.
She dated men black, brown, and foreign.
She pissed off her mother
By fucking a brother.
She made sure to get an abortion.

Three-Leaf Clover

Written by C Hues

March 17, 2024

They say the three-leaf clover saved souls
But it was mere empathy over control
Patrick didn’t impose his customs on Ireland
He didn’t use power to push, pedal violence

Patrick connected with their culture and clover
And showed his faith lived within them, not over
And while driving out snakes makes a great tale
Showing humanity outlasts heaven and hell.
