Free, since when?
Written by C Hues

Free, when the last slave gave his sigh of relief
When that day arrived of the first Juneteenth
When we got the right to vote that we couldn’t use
When black women were no longer abused
By slave owner and son
When the Civil War was won
When we woke up to “woke” being attacked
When all the spineless snakes still backed
The coward who had his henchmen kill Capitol cops
When Sherman set fire to all Confederate crops
When gaslighting got politicians their props
When stop and frisk was all about stops
When this world became a post-racial paradise
When gold is worth less than a bowl of rice.
Free, since when?
Might

Without might, you’re faced with peace.
With might, your crimes increase.
With might, crimes are not yours.
Without might, can’t sell your wars.
With might, there is no wrong.
With might, the right are right.
With might, others don’t belong.
With might, you invent white.
Without might, what is your high?
Without might, what is your purpose?
Without might, you might die.
Without might, you might deserve this.
Within might, hides the lie.
Withhold might, you feel worthless.
Withdrawn might is the true power.
Might
Rime
Written by C Hues

There’s too much time
Too little margin of error
No reason or rhyme
In this rime of terror
Hell freezes over
Because you elected the unelectable
What was so visible
Is suddenly undetectable
And the spring gets colder
Shit is residual
Doesn’t it madden you?
Suppose it would if there’d been a soul.
The blood from 5th Avenue
Is the cost of the individual.

Green

There once was a Governor named Green.
He kept his environment clean--
Till some who liked fracking
Paid him what was lacking.
And so, he sold out for that green.

Laoise

There once lived some dogs, they were Laoise’s.
She let them run wild; was egregious.
They ran out of the fence.
Bit a man in “defense”.
She was sued, yet she still got no leashes.
