Dangling Conversation

 

A thoughtful conversation with myself

About the validity of anger within my being

And it is difficult I say to reason with logic

Cause it’s hard to see through the red I’m seeing

 

Now my conscience is seared because of white rage

For my heart beats out impatient rhythms

I know even giants have to crawl before they walk

But damn the endless tape and the unsystematic systems

 

I said to myself, must I continue to toe the ground?

And must the color of my psyche be so blue?

Is it wrong to want justice served?

My reply to me, to thine own self be true.

 

Then my soul inquires of my prickling flesh

I know what it is that troubles you

It’s not revenge that empowers you to do

Tis in the above verses, your totally committed

 

To the Red White and Blue

 

And I said to myself,

Self…

You’re not as dumb as you look!
