I can’t jerk off no more My tumblr feed is nothing but Dead bodies and tragedies Shit is hitting the fan yet People keep saying that this Shit can’t happen to me Well it is in our backyards On our soil, on our hashtags And it is on our minds This is about race, class wars, Our fucked up democracy Taking out all of mankind We are all one, one sky, One Earth, one future, One time Can’t we all just please love Each other or at least just Respect one another Mike Brown is looking down And he’s seeing a nation trying to Pull together with our palms open And our hands held high, we say “Don’t shoot!” Fuck every news channel that Refuses to report the reality of This situation Forces hacktivists, brothers and sisters In Anonymous to shine Light on this frustration Freedom of speech, right to protest Is all being taken away from Us right before our eyes This has happened before, Kent State, Jackson University How many young adults need to die? We fight amongst ourselves Because we can’t face the fact That we’re a bored war hungry country If you believe in truth, justice And the American way It is dead Palestine citizens educate us How to deal with our own Militarized police forces Only in the US of A Only in the land of the free “Don’t shoot” I keep having nightmares Of ex-girlfriends Taking their own lives How can I move on when I got ghosts burning Under my own eyes Fake teeth, busted face, Distant family and Endless anxiety But I am so fucking lucky To be alive and with My wife to be Suicide still haunts my shadows Oh and the darkness Is still there This time I am not alone I have my friends Right here, right here I worry for the future The ones I can’t help The ones who need someone just like me Be there for your friends, Your family, your neighbors Countrymen, Earthlings Speak, talk, share love We have to choose to be Good or evil The choice is yours

Take a fucking walk down to the river Cut open your belly and flop out your liver Do a little dance a jig and call me in the morning But if you speak of politics I'll say you're boring Yeah, you're so boring Get the fuck out my face, shit Hobble down this cobble street like you a toaster Anyone see you? no cuz you a ghost, sir Invisible to everybody especially the ladies Home alone with your culinary monstrosities 2014 AA Be mean or unseen You jellybean Been living in a toaster oven It is too hot for the kissings and a loving

about

Everything happening in Ferguson/across the United States and many other events that have been going on closer to home have been on our minds. What a horrific tragedy and a slap in the face for the 50th Anniversary of the Civil Rights Act. If anything, this has shed light on other terrible incidences of police brutality or over use of force that haven't been as publicly know. Please be good to one another.
