ANOTHER CATCH-22 FOR YOU AND ME

CATEGORY

Enough has been said, my people:

They had the mendacious mendacity

To say to you and me

They knew of the dread

Of the racist murdering lead

That killed the ten that are dead;

But they freely chose to ignore

The crisis of a mostly Black store:-

 

And why to 911 should it matter

Where mostly Blacks usually gather?

Yet, they daily let the Ukrainians know

Which way the Russians had plans to go;

That they could be on guard for the onslaught

That weary White power differences had brought:-

 

When it comes to the mattering of Black harm,

Does it matter who comes to the politico platform?

Once more and again we’re caught in another catch-22

In coming elections to choose the lesser evil for me and you;

 

Though we do not yet have a Panther Party of our very own,

We must choose the lesser of the evils to correct what’s wrong:

Thus, if Black [really] don’t crack—we must in every way—bring back

 Those on the winding staircase climb, who are still on the rightful track:-

 

Remember, despite the many voiding ways, a VP became President,

And though some found it impossible to reach the prized throne,

For a blessed few, it became a most inspiring personal assent;

Thus, let’s not leave who is waiting, standing there all alone.
