28A Poem by CharlyeMonroeNumber 28 of The Knockouts
A how-to
It’s a guide for the revolution The monkey Excuse me Ape The man And the gun We are dead and all tomorrows canceled A how-to F**k you A big middle finger to the man On the Trigger Woe is me They are taking our jobs and out sourcing all the cheap labor out to, I don’t know Bhutan, or something We are dead and tomorrow's canceled Hope you didn’t pay your taxes The square is filled with hippies and the homeless people, what the f**k is this, San Francisco? Too cool for school This is bigger than us, man "We're in the middle of a revolution, here is a pass for solidarity’s sake" Well that was a hard “r” but I know what you’re going for This is evolution A how-to We are dead and tomorrow is a shadow Wait, that was yesterday Google it Google map it Google sketch it up and g-mail it My space engineering Black suites like I am Will Smith or Candide or IWill He plays himself in every movie, A role model for good-looking black boys to be when they grow up "When you’re crowning characters, always have the same name, it gets a little old," she says We are dead and tomorrow's canceled Start with the, “it’s a how-to” Destabilization of a set of institutions that are stratified into rank and file hard liners Remember When faced with larger numbers there is power Slumbers the giant in mass “Have faith,” he says This is evolution We are dead and all tomorrows canceled Wall off the middle class and feed them the lower You’ve got to get your hands dirty, if you know what I mean It ain't all handshakes and head nods Plant a tree or something, You’re not a mouthpiece, You don’t have the f*****g ambition Because "It’s bigger than us man" I’m 6’2 and I’m pretty sure I could f**k Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney up We are dead and tomorrow's canceled The jellyfish releases its sperm and eggs in mass when confronted with the sharp side of, let us say, a letter opener I bet there is some s**t in there “Do jellyfish have a******s, a*****e?” Backbone builds because it is bigger than us Man We are dead and tomorrow's canceled The quote of the day is an epitaph Radical, noun, free range chaotic neutral conditional to it’s A, B, and C "These nuts are Cookoo, buckets even, boy" We are dead and tomorrow's canceled I want to start a John Cage cover band "A hero ain’t nothing but a sandwich" It takes me five minutes and three tries to wish on a star Who’s on first? Who’s on second? Who’s on third? At the plate the showdown is a draw Tie goes to the runner It is not a one to one and when you can rub up against something "Life is what gets under your skin" That counts "OK good but you're still gonna die." Just a little bit and we’ll be on the other side © 2013 CharlyeMonroe |
