I Beat
With every beat of my heart
With every beat of my mind
I'm the clenched fist dragging on the concrete of my town, I am the gnarled smiling face of a twisted laughing clown, like an unearthed jewel of ill-educated teaching, I'm the grasping hand of want, that never will stop reaching, a starved little brethren whose reached his full potential In society groomed by the those deemed influential,
I Beat
Beat
Beat
Beat
In a narrative controlled by the unseen far and few,. In which the messages of God put the fear in life of you, like the slapped legs of child will forever leave a scar, there’s no room for the ?devine, while people starve in the park
But true to ‘The Word’ the meek inherit, kick, spit and to rise, behold fear of retribution in the sacred cherubs eyes,
I Beat
Beat
Beat
Beat
There’s blood red writing on the wall, that’s scrawled in graffiti, and the drawn sharpened knifes they signal no treaty, as emission gases rise and the atmosphere changing, you can see the neglect is deep and even more devastating
And I can’t believe the media and the rhetoric that they speak, with political agendas that are steeped in deceit
I Beat
Beat
Beat
Beat
Its not the physical pain, or razor slash that’s defeating or leaves opened mouthed aghast like the primal scream painting, but the fact that I trudge through this intellectual mirth and for every page that I turn I lose a little more self worth, its a stomach churning journey of contempt and realisation, to see were still defined by class, in this multi racial nation,
I Beat
Beat
Beat
Beat
Entrenched masculinity is patterned and projected on the street, but the laboured life of workers has long been stolen by a thief,
Mothers apron strings hold strong and kisses taste sweet, I have yet to meet a woman whose strength you can defeat, while non binary define and challenge who really are I see unique individuals reaching for the stars, and
I Beat
Beat
Beat
Beat
With every beat of my heart
With every beat of my mind
