Society

Want to be able to leave impressions
Of facial expressions in steel
To instill a sense of confidence with common sense
To rearrange the present tense
Hence the poker face
King of spades pupils frozen and steel like
So place your bets on favorite political fat cat in this rat race
Snap the traps and let the cheese spoil
Blood boils and bubbles bust
Like over inflated wishes from pennies dropped in wells
Copper plated water drinking Lincolns
Dead president termination
Because emancipation proclamation was just fake progress
Putting presidential titles to the test
Residential areas cloned and zoned color accordingly
Zoned by skin tone
Blacks over here and whites on the other side
Borders get built up again
Subliminal speeches of remember when
White cop beat black man and dragged from back of van
Turning back plan of equality
But then again any plan stating “every man” is faulty framework
Ignorance is a confounding variable
Racism is statistically significant
Supremacy cults skew progressions results
So in conclusion
Confusion is the backbone that binds hate
So mismatched melanin levels find it hard to relate
Debate the mental state of forefather’s visions
America is a prison over sized prism
Taking the masses and splitting the colors into separate social classes
Deny the access to assimilate
Penetrate post apocalyptic social sets
And eliminate racial slurs till the drawn lines blur
Let the melting pots stir

[Con O'Clast]

A good beat poem, I think this is really a performance piece. It has a nice consistent rhythm and there's some great fun to be had with the alliterative parts ('cloned and zoned color accordingly/ zoned by skin tone). Content wise its all good, all true and insightful. I'd love to see this up on a stage, it'd be a real crowd pleaser. Good job!

Review for Change the World Comp.

I agree with Con O'Clast this would be a fantastic performance piece. There is such depth and visualization throughout this entire work, very well done
