watch the soul gold-solid cold
containment of your America
A settled land--you might settle for
wild no more--cause Wild Will so and so
if he was Black --he would have been . . .
Consider Tonto
was Black or Back-up Injun
MLK jr was Black
honoris causa White
the conscience of middle (weight) Amer-Reek-'K'K'Ka
Back to the Injun-ry
of lame stream culture
Enterre A-men(T)
Entertain-ment
it's BET almost everywhere
maybe Black has reached the soft Belly of the Beast
or on its Back hitches a
Romulus and uncle Remus style ride
High on the hip
Maybe when the New Empire
sinks its straightened teeth into the Bling-Bling soil
Black will be there and square
I am praising the Eman-cipation
of the American cream
Enjoy the realisation of Hip-Hop
the suburban dream
For now Black is in-forgettable under class
