The end of Their World Part II

The irony of life is such, at the same moment I let the ink flow started writing this here poem Would have love for her to hear it Not even an hour past, my mother's body disconnected with her spirit Few tears started soaking up my t shirt Seen the face god I seen dove then it got blurred My mother gave her life to others, others lived for themselves And left her some baggage full of suffering Her managers and other high ranking officials Together plotted to sabotage her militancy Sat her in an open cell for a year and a half Where metal shrapnel would rain through an innocent breeze And while they gave themselves a golden parachute Mom got sick at age 50, she has to bear the news Left me with a few words as a legacy I carry on the battlefield, on a war with destiny In this economy we flaunt and we justify The forest weeps even animals pick up the vibes Staring at a screen fronting like we want to save the planet And cry when a few bucks out of our Paycheck vanish While they poisoning the air, 500,000 dead As if Covid's the only sole culprit, that being said What's happening's not a surprise it's very logical The consequence of this economy is ecological And I still want to believe that's there's higher power While my belief in the human kind is rather sour And that's to say, we only get what we deserve And when the tundra disappeared new viruses will emerge When I was born I was crying, I wasn't laughing Perhaps I knew that I was thrust within a huge disaster A sacrifice at the altar of this human folly Insects we crush do more for us in this melancholy This capitalistic system will exist Only if everybody at the table getting fed In 2020 it's Judas who got his fix Ate all the bread still Jesus let him live While we protest multi-national supermarket chains 50 years ago, we people let them win the game Lower prices, more processed food, cheaper brands How we know to trust em when they slap organic on the stamp We all responsible for this current circumstance We vote and manifest, we hate what we see happening Rallies full of hate waiting for the perfect catalyst But the revolution will be tied to our consumption In America, health and prevention's almost a great sin Which means the patient and the client are the same thing Proper nutrition that medicine is less expensive But Medicare'll do you better when the cancer festers Had many back and forth's with some arrogant physicians Walking thru corridors of hospitals in poor conditions In which, so many of us suffered the worst trauma In these sad places where humanity is non-grata The health systems are fragmented You got good nurses and doctors on the one side But on the other side big pharma is outsized Like a Cartel in the Mexico, the scheme is organized crime Promoting breakthroughs a mascot on steroids Who refuses to die numbing his pain with some opioids A dealer, rocking a pharmacist apron Who sells us snake oil in a lab down in Dayton And at the end of the day only intentions matter Reality will always catch up to the reckless chatter Solutions easy to find it's not a secret Thinking about our youth, damn we in some deep shit Consented to this carnival mapped on the long-term Costume party the youth are masked with the Mossberg A shipwreck where it's survival of fittest A perpetual revisit of 2009 misses Platforms where you see doctors become the journalists Alarmist journalists become doctors we watch it burn again We cancel, judge and crucify but it depends who Those who own the channel choose who put they put the lens to And it's hard to form alliances and get to people buy in While some, looking for buzz while others is doing science And I never thought I'd see the day Where great professors get scolded on by TV personalities who talk all day Where the last in class considers himself a genius Much like a terrorist the same DNA sequence The YouTube and the TV channel resident Singing off tune, American Idol of medicine Spewing agendas off a script with mad confidence Pushing for measures bringing catastrophic consequence And the worst that's yet to come won't even be a virus These "tools" will all be stuck when comes the next crisis All I can do is laugh at these godless fearmongers The fear death became their church within their subconscious Could a simple vaccine bring solidarity? Nah, the world's gluttonous with a big lack of parity Under the guise of protecting the elders Billions being made on the deadliest weapons Stats replacing words by technocratic nerds Numbers ratios leading this undemocratic world When they don't like the numbers, they get thrown in a trash Hidden truths, hidden behind these letters they use to mask But who's held accountable? And where's the transparency We get it, your type plays by different rules apparently Pain killers other legal drugs in all our cabinets And when we mention natural remedies they start bashing us Our city's subjected to the laws of the Dirty Dozens I turn the News on and all I see is bunch of suckers Playing with human emotions and taking them for hostage Pumped us with fear, rational thought's lost in the process Leaving a welcome sign for fascism to enter Popping pills to numb ourselves for the dark winter Mister congressman our hands cannot stop the flow of sand Why so many houseless in the cold, make us overstand Conspiracies inspired by conspirators Who conspire turn around and blame conspiracy theorist Throughout history all we've seen is war and rifts So don't try to tell me plots don't exist Kicks to the gut, schemes for the wicked Gentlemen dressed in nice suits, we call it business Lies and weapons of mass distraction Millions are dead, while the consent is manufactured Selling war as noble cause you know the cost is death Avery time they lower oil cost Fighting war on drugs, "down" with the communists But really they used drug money to kill the communists While crack cocaine was tearing up the hood Seen it in the 80's they were scheming on us good During the month of March, they gave us their analysis The economy can tank we gotta salvage it And just about a half a million deaths later Fake news, real news who got the correct data? Red Alert! Red Alert! Nobody move and nobody get hurt Panic buying toilet paper in the bunker Running a Milgram experiment on Archie Bunker So many lies peddled, people believe in nothing Disconnected from it all, rather make up something And yes, fear and paranoia can make you an addict Cause and effects, got u doing pseudo-mathematics Hope is thin, in this divisive atmosphere Too much smoke, blown up our ass, for the path to clear And if you got time, to post a million hateful comments Can you keep the plight of the less fortunate in your conscious You don't want them here right, the earth is bigger Drunk driving with your mask on and a hurt liver And as you wear your mask, you also wear it on your sleeve Same way, you'll change your mind depending on the wind speed But don't worry jack, got my finger on the pulse Gather the sheep and the pork, I'm a hit em off And if the number of deaths, that you wanna stop One percent of the armament budget will make it drop Every year, 8 or 9 million lives can saved But providing clean water's been a failure While these dummies playing, way too busy brandishing their gun While they selling jet fighters to Saudi Arabia We playing with fireworks during these deadly times Life and death, decided by arbitrary line Life is not black and white just a happy chaos We celebrate until death comes to end the séance During this pandem(ic), they pitting them against them How many dead, waiting for a cure against death Can read the hypocrisy on their face? When you bury the ones you hate, just so you can save face And so it seems that many seem to forget That we're not bunch of computer you can fix when you sick Speculative bubbles and economic growth Gave us a sense of invincibility deep inside our soul When it hits the fan, they say artist is non-essential When we hit a rough patch, as if music isn't helpful? Yet you use our names when it's time to raise some funds When times are bad, you drop us like we weight a ton But nothing new under the sun my young gunner In this country a real job is one that makes you suffer From a sinking ship, we film the one drowns And turn around and act like a modern day Malcom now 20 years ago, these bright marketers killed the music Privatized the hospitals guess who's the biggest loser The way I see unity is way gone Obama, Bush, the Clintons and the Trumps sang the same song Our daughters can't breathe, our sons can't breathe Their future walking on tight rope without a plan B Can see the world of tomorrow, written on their faces We judge them and categorize them, it makes me anxious Between clichés of terror and homages Soon to be washed up by a tsunami of broken promise America on paper's full of inspiring pablum When the real America's really a war factory No talk of reparations ghetto still segregated We know the numbers like Lauryn got us miseducated Corrupt police culture and bunch of corrupt officials Ready to screw our future up, to move up a little Stuck in a juvenile wrestling match As if you had to crush or hurt people to get your message passed I'm not impressed, and there's those who think on the left Cause they sitting at the bar drinking with couple blacks You might think you know a few, but you don't know their fight Hard to picture life in basement from the 8th flight Until the night you get in a scuffle and catch a right That's when you went from being left to the extreme right And I try not to judge cause anyone can change Not a child of violence, I rather the peace reign We pay our taxes whether wins or loses So we still as American as these folks that be burning crosses And you can write about your epigenetics Trying to cope against the times changing that's just pathetic Pointing fingers at Africa when you speak of corruption When nepotism's all we see in this banana republic You think we equal? Lies, brothers and sisters? Lies Are you listening? Nah do you respect us? Lies Put in perpetual second class to keep you balanced The "American Dream" sold to the biggest addicts Alt-right reactionary, liberal anarchist Inventing words, what the hell's a right wing populist Plutocrats for bureaucrats, eco-anarcho fascists Killing each other at the bottom while they get mad rich Deforestation, exporting manufacturing jobs To keep the Dow Jones popping lives get sabotaged Slave labor, overseas and corporate takeovers Mansions in America and Africa's the lay over Migrants in overcrowded boats, don't nobody care We ransacked their land for them to die there We sign contracts then we swindle out of them Amen, you out of luck If u live in Yemen More bombs, drone fighters is the avatar How many kids die, politicians don't say Allah-u-Akbar Look at Vietnam, look at Cambodia Kissinger was never judged they put him on a podium You can round up 400,000 innocent lives And get the Nobel Peace prize for killing them Easy to study the theory and codes of their religion This ain't the definition of war, this is terrorism Articulating these ideas became complicated Especially, when emotions get implicated And tomorrow we'll cry tears for the present day Just for us to come, right back to where we are today Thinking back at Kyle Rittenhouse Or that driver back in Nice who ran over a crowd It's the same anger, same madness behind the iris They'll say one is depressed, the other is part of ISIS It's the culture they be promoted that's the real problem You can gotta make them talk about you to become somebody To represent a cause, no longer be anonymous Where shocking news is the favorite drug of the audience Where we post on Facebook and we tweet our moods Showing the best parts and highlights, we pick and choose Picture perfect life, mad exotic places Perfect relationship photoshop machinations And when that break-ups happen it's "F" everything Fishing for more likes as a medicine And when depression and hate, meet at the altar It's a deadly date with the grim reaper as a stalker It's nothing deep, there's really no rhyme or reason Only a fire that's exposed during the hottest season Looking for meaning so we roam Life can be lonely, nobody wanna die alone I think about it but can't find the solution Self centered punks out to brunch living an illusion With some delusions of grandeur looking for some answers On TV inspired by life of dead gangsters You got the Proud and the Boogaloo Boys Who feel entitled to a land, that was stolen from natives Calling the BLM protestors a bunch of hooligans Cops were killed during the storm, who you trying to fool again? Certain medias trying to down play it And when we saw the cops kill Floyd they tried to blame him Dog whistling, we tired of the double-talk Seeing pundits do linguistical somersaults Hard to express myself in 140 characters So I do it here love love, that's how I'm sharing it In an era where extreme discourse became banal The bully pulpit throwing tomatoes at the crowd Since 9-11 seems more souls are close minded If you got a different belief they wanna close line it They know my background so every time's somebody's killed They wanna know my opinion as if I bore the guilt Same excrement, different toilet Joseph Kony still killing it's so disappointing Little by little, they peg us as the enemy To low information voters who we might never see But when we win big, the skin color vanishes Look how we celebrate sports after a championship Tired of rapping bout the same problems for 20 years It's easy to the sell the world as black and white and be millionaire Wanna be rich? Deny the history, that's the grift What a masterful denial with an asterisk Let's be afraid to be in public and protect our hearts Manipulated by our fears thus keeping us apart That's what a terrorist wants right? To keep us scared I guess so far they won, cause we already there You hear the way they talk they despise the underclass School curriculums white washed with bunch of crap Michael Brown, Rodney king to Michel Zecler But they love you if you Stefan Curry or Clyde drexler But if you ain't around those neighborhoods you'd never know How many friends I had to bury, can never let it go Way Too young to die, victims of senseless killing No peace, it's life or death in certain US cities And it's hard to comprehend if you ain't lived that To be harassed for what you look like where you live at A world destroyed by folks who got nothing to lose Inflicting pain on the innocent cause they make the rule It breeds anger, homegrown terrorist Who shoot up schools under some fictitious narrative Discriminated at school and when u look for jobs Every field even housing, you have to fight the odds And then the youth start to believe it they feel ostracized Another generation at the margin pauperized Flip side, so in love with so called excellence Of these white collars ass crooks that they be selling us Get paid, only dollars are here to worship They don't wanna read about Kwame Ture they rather floss and Cause all the words, they steal them and flip em They weaponize them and they use them on the victims And the intolerant deemed as culture warriors Acting like they the Victims, they the ones that been victorious A society where only themselves considered righteous And any other culture gets treated like a virus Imbecilic debates I don't wanna partake Hate speech can never enter into god space They try to make choose sides either good or bad Am I "Charlie" or not I'm just me and that makes them mad Picture a convalescent shooting up a hospital Nowadays critical thought seems impossible Living life with death, omnipresent in your subconscious Inundated with negative thoughts, that you gotta process Been in a major crisis ever since my day of birth The elders tell me it's been like this since they been on earth Compassion packed her bags and she left the block Leaving a nation afraid boiling in the melting pot And when the drama hits, people want a scapegoat All this time, the elected leaders had a say so Treated like bonobos bottom of the totem pole We free, but it's when you free that you more vulnerable Imagine if I just lose it and start to wild out And they kill me as my weapon starts to shout out I know it's sad they would make me out as a pariah And say I was radicalized five minutes prior We take note, we accept it and shut our mouths While the police force repress and control the crowd Our people suffering, crying out without a cent And it's society that suffers 100 percent This ain't working, we need something that works better We can't relate these politicians don't bring us together Our lives are like fireworks on January first We didn't cause the mess, they want us to clean the dirt It's war against this and war against that But war is when the bombs blow and wigs get capped Ask the elders who survived the Nazi regime Go to Syria or Yemen ask them what they see On all subjects, security and the economy The MAGA's will try to say thing were better back in slavery Goes back to the clash of civilizations Greed and violence and effects of globalization The money crosses borders information crosses borders Narcotic crosses borders, and oil crosses borders And money never travels alone So it's no surprise bloodshed and sorrow also crosses borders Maybe since Eisenhower is when we held the leach Our country decided to be the world police Like a dead beat dad, the land we live in Is it too much to ask for Uncle Sam to love his children? Land of the migrants, land of opportunity Stolen from the native decimated their communities How many got lynched? How many tears poured? How many moms screaming "dear lord!"? And I still stand for peace Even though it seems technology wants us to beef In ten years we experienced a century's worth Mad loss our entire value system is hurt Different generations speaking different dialects Imagine 30 years ago if they had internet We can debate about it, it's an accelerator Members in white supremist groups would be a lot greater Politicians let them fester and grow Better or worst, all they care about is getting a vote Some lives matter, other lives not much Little to no punishment after the Capitol rush While the indigenous are silenced while pipelines laid Pretty little speech, Wall Street gets paid Minerals in Congo who cares? Those are negros The shareholder's appetite's larger than Debo's While reality shows sucking on our brain cells Metal hard headed hearts encased in the same shell Instagram and Facebook gassing up our ego Priming you for brainwash by fascistic ethos Is the world much worse? I doubt it But it's on repeat! In the background while we browsing And it marinates inside our soul for days And the echos of anxiety run deep inside our brain Watching documentaries feeling blue, but if I'm honest I Rather just watch some animals, cause I can feel the god inside em And If I die it's with a loving heart my friends I'm still here Waiting for their world to end
