Poem
Les C. Moore be virally, virtual plea coming black enamel blu tooth with the plain, pandemic ghetto pain truth Les C. what’s goin’ on with the lophodont latest, lamentable siren news A loathsome copper tone got a dark cloud-colored megaphone high-caliber a-blasting the “Can’t Breathe Blues” This fatal taser tune has a fade-to-black exit wound Last gasp begging words usually goes so 911 dispatch unheard Bullet-in-the-back help is always DOA too resuscitate late Getting itchy trigger finger care is just too much cerulean fabricated love to bear Here’s what a soul brotha and soul sista gotta Goshen do If you wanna live to be grey-haired, rocking chair Pygmy-Zulu Ghetto Survival Guide rule No. #1: If you wanna take a daytime, Sunday stroll on Friday And your favorite café is merely a couple of blocks away Should you hear the oncoming, dirge paddy wagon sound Then a screeching halt, asphalt burn notice alarm — Put your hands up in the air, and fall fast to the hard, paved ground Display no badge rage when cam-shoulder caught, getting genetically profiled cuff bound And do hope a docile smile keep you from deadly force harm Give some inhalation time bought GSG tip No. #2 is the last rule: Moving vehicular style at night might red light into sepia paranoia fright Indigo thread chance encounters will likely cause holster happenstance dread jitters But maintain obit thought silence, let not eulogy fear pulse tremble hence Pray calm patience will longevity recompense Wait to exhale ... breathe easy; then moonlight scan cautiously, rotate eyes nary moving an inch Only dare go when the flashing neon tread terror travel a many stop lights yonder thence
