CHI-Raq

CHI-Raq

A Poem by Butch Decatoria

A Buster is busted.

Figuratively.

Mayhap way he speak.

Not just slow

Cuz he got flow

Figured out the Hustle

Keeps on and on and on and...

(An Energizer rabbit's foot.)


"Yo! This Life is Broke!"

(Swisher Blunts stunted Swoosh!)

Busters Is Busted.

Vigorously. (Or rock-steady kool).

Tommy-guns, Polish

(Head like a hole...)

Our whips.

Our babies.

Our Peeps

The War / The Streets

The Word itself, asleep...

Sweet Tea at the ready

They're thirsty in

CHi-Raq.

Ever heard of the song Scrubs by TLC? Also known as a buster.... Busted meaning broken, and IS is intentional. This piece is drench in slang actually, but hits home when it points a light on Chicago... Get what I'm sayin? Lol. Thank u for taking the time to read and comment. I appreciate it.

The words flow, interesting word play. I can see lots of things that its not about but what it is about i'm not entirely sure. Maybe some slang usage i'm not picking up on. Different can be good and abstract can be great.
Good to read something different.
Cheers,
Alan
