Exception

I smiled. 
               the circle was spinning & the psychological damage began. 
I laughed. 
               the circle flew off the chains & irreversible damage maimed. 
I cried. 
               the circle tore off his neck & the eyes that watched poured a cup unrestrained.  


His eyes fell out of their sockets watching and dancing.
               with desires raging 
               judgement nearing 


and the man 
               the Orange in the face
                      & stone hard in the heart
was connecting wires to their minds
               watching their wants and desires 
               meeting the demands of all divisors
reading their lips ripping their souls blinding them
and yet I know the seeds were already within them
               dangerous 
               deceiving
               smiling


They will never accept you 
They think of you as an exception
good and gold and well behaved
And so I cried. 


and now there is 
no direction 
no destination 
no disinfection 


Honey said
              Racism doesn’t exist
              I just didn’t like my slave neighbors
              and they talked to the terrorists wrapped up 
              with wires and intentions, traitors.
And his bees said 
              Sexism doesn’t exist 
              I am married to my wife 
              she has a diamond ring with my name on it
              she just happens to love the kitchen and my bulges and hits.


The old woman with the long hair braided to the side saw.
She saw the earth burning 
              Their tongues on fire
              Their desires uncontrolled
              morality cold glocks enrolled
 

They shot her people 
and poured whiskey on their bodies
She watched and she cried. 


So I look up to whatever is out there
whatever you can I cannot and whatever I can is not enough
Clean the Earth or take it Away for we will Not survive anyway.
