Truth Is In The Art (IX)



Look in between the lines
And try to see your part.
Poetry and writing are mine.
Truth is in the art.
“Oh, say can you see!?”
Secrets they tried to hide?
Do you think you’re free?
Are those who have died?
This government is constitution-less;
It brags in God’s name,
Terrorizing while it oppresses,
But you are who they blame.
You voted and are in charge?
Let it all get out of hand?
And now you’re living large
But still won’t take a stand.
How does it feel inside?
Oh, don’t have a conscience?
Swelling up, or is it pride?
Is looking away contagious?
In the beginning was the truth,
Was mixed up and destroyed,
Cream of utter, brand-new,
Truth still on top, annoyed?
And now, what will happen?
You really think you’re saved?
Judgment day or entrapment,
You just let yourself get played.
It is in the flow of motion,
Through all the threads of time,
Twisted, turned, and even broken,
Resurrected and reversed in your mind.

Active Revolutionist from Chicago, by way of New Jersey, Atlanta, Birmingham, and now NOLA; dedicating his life to establish a truly independent economic system for the poor and oppressed peoples of America first. Fighting for those faces you see and don't see on the websites: THE ARK PROJECT LLC THE BEEP INC. BEEP BLACK WALL STREET BOOKS I'm Muslim, I'm Black and I'm American so I guess I have three strikes against me LOL. I'm here reaching out to those concerned about the great divides that no-one wants to address and I'm here to address them head-on (Social Injustice, Islamophobia, Systematic Oppression, etc...). I am the author of this book: "Oh, Say Can You See!?" (Secrets) & Truth Is In The Art which shows how passionate I am about what was done and what continues to be done and ignored. Poetry is as a result of my life experiences as well as my opinions. They are my studies of the scriptures while paralleling them with history along with the present day's crimes against humanity, by those that claim to govern us. Keep in mind that my love for this country is beyond measure and incomparable. However, there are principles that a person ascertains to and therefore must stand upon. more…
