Poem for 2020

POEM for 2020

Ola, Dos mil veinte

Ola, vamonos

Let's get it on

perfect vision

can't claim blindness

you see clearly now

no excuse

You see God

You see devil

don't lie in 2020

No fake news fake blues fake jazz fake ass

time for low down funky truth

butt naked truth

no metaphor innuendo circumlocution 

alternative facts no solution

Cornel say keep the funk in place

don't hide the funk conceal the funk

keep it real keep it funky

Cornel say that's why we love Elijah Muhammad

Malcolm X Martin Luther King, jr.

Fannie Lou Hamer

They kept the funk in place.

JB say ain't it funky now!

2020

perfect vision

no illusion

you know donald is the devil

Demos devils too

take lesser of two evils

don't hesitate

We see clearly now

Frisco fog lifted

Sunny day in Bay

See Golden Gate

Escape illusions delusions 

psycho drama

you know what mama said

nappy head!
