DeKalb Avenue

Externally weeping

Internally bleeding out 

towards the surface

The First 48

For my September 28th

Contemplating Murder

How many reasons for your safety

I'd place myself in captivity

To set a ladybug free

🎶... Going out blasting, taking my enemies with me

And if not they scarred, so they will never forget me...🎶

Prodigy 

Mobb Deep

Coursing through my veins

Standing 

on a platform

On either side of me are trains

Taking passengers to 

Whatever to them

 is sacred.

Bemoaning such trivialities

Of the detours headed

To their final destination. 

And they somehow 

Believe this to be

Strife? 

If they only knew

The hardships of who

They were complaining to 

🎶...  THIS CAN'T BE LIFE... 🎶

Yet, what is normalcy...💭

Individuals
walking around in masks
Afraid of a virus, the media pirates
easily pass from person to person?


When the highest form
of human toxicity
Dwells within people
Everyday we see

Living
amongst us
Out in the open - corruption

Undetected
Agents
of hatred

Become them
