In The Eyes Of The Chocolate One

Let me tell you about equality/ 

You can take your facetious anomaly/ 

And stick it where only the sun can’t see/ 

I’m patiently pacing /

A nation who’s back that I’m facing/ 

While I’m running arms racing/ 

I stand adjacent/

Eye to thigh/ 

Of mother dream that stand ye high/

Just a slice of the American pie/

I’m eating healthy so can I just get a salad and rye/ 

Or do I have to sit here and ingest the poison that would lead me to die/

Why? /

Is not the question but My/

Is the answer you seek/

When getting to a insurmountable peak/ 

You may be meek/ 

But you’re damn sure not sleek/ 

And at the end of the week/ 

Through their perception you hanging on the street/

…Victory could be sweet/ 

But instead/ 

They’ll only figure you dead/ 

One less hood, one less head/ 

One less social deviant that can rest well in bed/ 

Now our American pie could be fed/

… Damn thank you for caring/ 

Thank you for sharing/ 

Thank you for those long hours in school you did/ 

Instead of doing a correctional bid/ 

Thank you for the frown you hid/

Thank you for the positive drive as a kid/ 

I’d rather not eat your cherry pie/

I’d rather not meet that description of getting high/ 

I’d rather not be just “trying to get by”/

I’d rather have my praises reach God in the sky/ 

I’d rather not ask why but keep me/

Keep me as strong as brother Malcolm be/ 

Keep my day breezing like the sea/ 

Keep me striving to live through his simile/

And not be on someone’s shirt or wall as a “remember me”

Love, Peace, Think Good Thoughts and God Bless
