“Beyond Black” A Poem By Martial

 
 
 
 
 
 
Who doesn’t want to be rich and famous?
You can do it without acting hanus.
Play a sport, study law,
perform music, professionally draw.
Keep it legal and off the streets.
You’ll stay out of jail, nor be deceased.
You’re a trick in the trade also known as tool.
Too cool for school translates to fool.
Stamped on your forehead, easier incarceration.
Trapped, slaves thru reincarnation.
Increasing makes capitalism build.
Uncle Sam banks off of Uncle Toms bills.
Fighting for civil right slightly lowered the range
but Obama in office doesn’t make all change.
You’re no God and the law is the law,
life has no winners, it’s always a draw.
Be all you can be
not what you see on TV.

By Martial, HW Intern.
