Subway Blues

Subway Blues
I aint got me no
Daddy Blues
how much of my sugar
could she use blues
can't sit wit a Queen
for Sweet tea blues
never been to the Delta Blues
Bluefish and grits blues
No trumpet blues
only one guitar riff
Crazy blues
way too flat hungry
banker shoes
all these New Yorkers
brand new soled shoes
done gave me the subway blues
transfer from
Manhattan
to Bronx
thru
Harlem Blues

Country tis of thee

this piece is not about gender
masculine nor feminine
not race class nor status
it's about symbols

SHE BECAME AMERIKKA'S CONCUBINE
SENT OVER  BY THE FRENCH
TO BE FUCKED PENETRATED
BY EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY
SHE THOUGHT WOULD UPHOLD
AND PROTECT HER
INSTEAD SHE WAS USED AND ABUSED
TATTERED AND TORN  INTEGRITY
NEVER WAS SHE TO SYMBOLIZE HOPE
NOR REPRESENT  THE LAST BASTION
OF FREEDOM
MS. LIBERTY
UPON HER ARRIVAL
SHE WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY
FASELY ACCUSED OF TREASON
DISFIGURED MORPHED LIED
TO AND RECHISELED
SO THEN A THOUSAND EYES
COULD GAZE UPON HER BREAST
ADOPTING BASTARDS FROM ALL OVER
CLINGING TO BROKEN PROMISES
SHATTERED DREAMS AND FALSE DOCTRINE
SPOKEN RHETORIC FROM THE SAME
LUNATICS HERETICS
THAT SHE WAS WARNED ABOUT
IN HER FORMAL PAGENTRY
COME UPPANCE
SEEMS LIKE SHE HAS FALLEN
DOWN A SPIRAL STAIRCASE
TWISTED STEPS TO THE LOWER
DUNGEONS AND  PRISON ESCAPE
SHE ALREADY SWAM OCEANS TO AVOID
THE  ONLY POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCES
WAS THE WARM DECEPTION STRAIGHT
OUT THE CRATE
SHE WAS NOT TELEVISED
UNTIL A LATER DATE
ALL SHE COULD REMEMBER
WAS THE JAZZ TUNE PLAYING
IN HER HEART
NOW SHE KEEPS DOO WOP AND
WEARS A DOO RAG
AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH
PERIOD
THE BITCH BLEEDS.
