the oven door

as it opens and close

when it's still no stars or no stripes

ground deep

still an earthworm

getting it in the dirt

roots are seasons on the grind

just trying to fly

basted from every side

still walking bath feet

watch day after day

die or vegetable state

but tell us to "squash it"

we defend our side

when others are against it

there's a missing piece

I don't want/

to empty shells,/

introduce/

you to hell,/

or a heavenly/

chorus./

not beyond others

neither want to be beneath

just want to be the best me

I've cast my ballot

and that is God almighty

he's for all mankind

striving for the stars

why does it matter to you?

I stay in my space

labeled as a 'ho"

but we dig in their gardens

why aren't we tools?
