slavery's broken chain

Pin pricks

Stubby sticks

Fluffy stuffy animals

Clunky studded mammals.

Jump for joy, cheer into fear

Steer the fear underground and tear

The skunky road, exposing its rupture

As man, woman, and child run from capture.

Pin pricks

Stubby sticks

Fluffy stuffy animals

Clunky studded mammals.

Start anew, everything shiny and brew

Your love, acceptance, appreciation with few

Who understand your stance, while others spew

Their venom in envy that drew their due.

Use the pinpricks,

Draw blood that flicks

Into a dark well of enslaved liquids

That bubbles and boils till it explodes.

Exposing degenerate behavior

That stinks and is glued to their fix

That of superior races that flow betwixt

Their humanity and depravity.

Darkest Light

A flash of light interspersed in darkness

One cannot be without the other, unless …

Your light seeks the night, eradicating

Evil, injustice, vile envy, segregation, disease, leading …

To your coruscate filaments of light

Annihilating the bad through faith that’s bright.
