Steel

Bullets bounce back off his chest
But that's not what makes this man the best
Not super strength, heat vision, or X-Ray
It's the fight Kent took to the KKK

The great Trump might demand to send him back
An illegal alien bound to attack
Intelligence is Trump's Kryptonite
"Don't make Clark black!" Oh, and Kryptonians are "white?"

If he was the same color as his descendant Ronan
Would he be America's bad omen?
And although gunfire can't kill the Man of Steel
That racist rhetoric might make him ill.

The Fire

Einstein fought for civil rights
Yet "You're fired!" say hire whites
Those Einsteins will fan the flames
With lowly lies and baseless claims
How flabbergasted and tongue-tied
Am I to see this from a son of apartheid

Race is a caste system to sever
The DNA that binds blacks and whites together
Go ahead and hire someone "white"
Who's passing right before your sight
All it takes is just one drop
Surprise, the fire will not stop
You turn tragedy to travesty
The plane crashed because "diversity?"
Gee, that's some logic, Mr. Spock
Lives lost and Elon Musk must mock
The smokescreen grows ever thin
Superficial as the color of skin
Most black Americans have white ancestry
And someone "white" can be blacker than me
Science has proven color doesn't define
Yet that eradicates your imaginary line
Color and competence---there's no correlation
Thanks for the hate to create your nationalistic nation.

New Best Friend

Passing person passing by
Security gives a wink and "Hi"
But when he sees your color clear
He'll shadow you and follow fear

He'll be with you throughout the store
And in your head when out the door
But at least you've a new best friend
Who's always there from start to end

For those who've never had this happen
They're missing out on all the action
But the rest of us can thank the help
We'll leave a great review on Yelp!

King Over Tyrant

Written by C Hues

A King is remembered while a tyrant rises,
Yet we will not let lessons past be forgotten.
One tries to divide through lies of crowd sizes,
And this Christian mocks and detests the different and downtrodden.
But the Black King's paternal line traced to Ireland and Scotland.

The crimes of slavery and Jim Crow---to King, they're forgiven,
Because he believed the words of Christ who had risen.
Meanwhile, the next Lincoln is inaugurated through hate and division.
Thank God he'll judge our character over our color.
And we've made progress from "Nigger" to "Other."


Commanders

Cool, calm, collected---the greatest is Jayden
The young man with more mettle than Iron Maiden.
He passes with precision, and has the ball soarin'.
The top tier receiver catches clutch---McLaurin.

The underdog is over the hump and we're in the Promised Land.
We never quit, we uplift, upset, and Command.
They said it couldn't ever be done,
But we're the best we've been since '91.

That's why we win with the spirit of unison from Dan Quinn.
Kingsbury coordinates like chess again and again.
And we make tight plays seem seamless like Ertz.
So, 4th downs turn quickly to 1sts.

All Over

Your enrollment's down.
Yet your tuition is up.
So, your students left.
You're not gonna change---you're right.
Good job---now it's all over.

Being Black

Written by C Hues

January 5, 2025

Being black's so bright,
Like a raven in the night.
Being black's the right
To defy; still read and write.
Being black's mixed white,
As the owners made us light.
Being black's false fright,
That gave our neighbors flight.
Being black's not might,
It's love that conquers spite.

You pay for streaming.
Yet your best show's on cable.
You paid for streaming.
Streaming's cancelled; cable's paid.
Your best show moved to streaming.

Suck Session

You try to tank well.
You're a successful failure.
You've got the first pick.
Fortunately, he's a bust.
Your suck session's out of luck.

Done

To trade and take what isn't yours.
These pirates come with guns, not swords.
This is what the Spanish done.
Rape ship slaves and sail their sons.

You must escape the kingly tyrant.
You own, but never own your violence.
This is what the British done.
Rape their slaves and sell their sons.

You teach a lie yet lie with Ham's,
Your verses show yourselves as shams.
This is what the Christian done.
Rape their slaves yet sell your sons.
