I
A culture of guns,
An epidemic of hate;
Domestic terror...
Stoking bigotry,
Klan pride & racism:
Cooing doves silenced...
Mocking clarity,
Rising white nationalism;
Justice checkmated...
II
Sitting here
realizing
most blacks today
are democrats
and most
of their transgressors
are republicans...
total recall mirrors
a time when most blacks
were republicans
and most
of their transgressors
were democrats...
The irony of it all
is reminiscent
of the proverbial axiom
that the more things
seem to change
the more they seem
to stay the same...
veiling a mathematical
truth
that a unified full oneness
has a greater & more powerful
magnitude
than a two divided
by a two:
Why is simplicity
sometimes
so complicated...
ping-ponging
...?...
