Black Who

The lies to which you adhere
Will keep me sleeping alone tonight
Leave my cells at ease
I will take my art
Back into the night
It can't help you now

Now it's time for you to breathe
Only words of truth to me
I have loved and I have found
Ways to cope and handle this
Debased form of loyalty
Seeping out the cracks in
Your veneer of great duality

…But within trust we are all free….

Now it's in our bloodstream
Raised as if the chemicals are one
Of a million agents bound
Sent out to abstract me
Refracting me as things that I am not
And will never be

I'm gonna win this war, even if I lose the fight

Breathe…
