Little Mermaid

A Stream of Double Consciousness (Poem)

Bruh show Barack a bomb or sum

Insomnia my only son

Today, Black boys, is not the one

to step outside

and walk or run

Or hoop till you’re the next LeBron;

in your black skin, that gets you gone.

Though Joshua was son of Nun,

His mom had to confide in one — that,

Rather than a college fund,

it’s funeral costs she got saved up;

In case the r̶o̶b̶b̶e̶r̶s̶ cops should once run up —

farther than willing to take her cup

sucker punch her in the gut

plunge knife in navel, twist it up

From jump, like the Mamba,

The lesson’s been clear, if a pity:

MORENO MORBIDITY —

Lessening lives. Line-by-line.

Convalesce for a moment:

Watch the thrown; in no time, the next outage arrives.

Despise Death, in plain-clothes, deputized;

And be Teflon in order to sleep with one eye

To the sky -

above lesson-less lemons which “ReiGN In” Black parades

Rain on new matte-black mercedes

Fire,

re-hire blue boys straight from Hades

Less & less do the sprightly lil babies

Make it to the third grade because

We’re left bereft out of spite and then censored

Land of the Hamster Wheel, where ambushes be aerial -

Nahhh man you trippin [waves fl*g]

talkin bout how all of that ended with Barry O

No? Surprised like Wattpad stories

<!--“That’s terrible!”--> yea i know

[DOn’t REad MI FA]

So,

So long to my fairly well-behaved little girl

6 years old turned to six feet under the sea, singing all alone

They said it was mistaken identity, purely clerical

Silly Rabbit — my daughter traded her birthday party for a Little Mermaid burial.
