ameriKKKa's Most Hated Muslim Poet
Survival of the Fittest
No longer about seeking a
higher knowledge. Graduating
a trade school or college
Not about getting fit for a
wife. Starting the family
life. Not about life at all
Except for life in the penitentiary behind the wall. For taking a fall. After a shootout. Over a game of basketball
Or, becoming one of the
newly dead. From a volley of
copper coated lead to the head
Zipped in a bag. Toe tagged.
On a drag of a ride to the mortuary. Stripped down and dressed up
Tossed in a box. Left alone in the cemetery. Dressed up with no where to go. Until the Trumpet blows
No longer about strength and
skill in the survival of the fittest.
Now it's only about the fastest
Draw and who can squeeze the
trigger quickest. Violence is the
norm in a land of sickness
