eAsT BOunD

A Poem by Jonesy

“I was given this world, I didn’t make it”

Dealt the sore deal but didn’t take it

Had to play THAT game…

And trust me, I play it, and I play that s**t well…

But never faked it

 

“You know what makes me unhappy”

When we’re both walking down the same side of the street

Then you cross over out of your way just to pass me

When in the fact that I don’t wear a mask

But you already got one for me

And in advance of our encounter

You’ve already masked me!!

 

“It seems the rain’ll never let up”

Went to war for the land of the free

To come back to the realization that

That whole free s**t

Is just a sales pitch and a set-up

Truth be told

It’s only lead me to my current get-up

 

“I’m still tryin’ to hold on to surviving friends”

Lost so many, to so much

And all in the name of Bullshit

War, hate, stupidity

I ask… Does this demean their end?

 

“Cause I think we can make it, and in fact I’m sure”

My brothers consist of Back, White, Asian, Hispanic

We’ve bled together

Fought not for that Bullshit lie of freedom

But the fact we are brothers

F**k "blood"

This is far more thick and pure

About
Foremost, I wouldn’t call myself a writer. What I am… is pure and relevant, and opposingly, diluted and unsignificant. Factual, and hypocritical. I’m black and white (not by race), .. more..
