Assisted Genocide
Location
Disclaimer:
Genocide only occurs nearby the main river
For all to see
I did not slaughter, I was simply assisting.
Ethnic cleansing of myself and people
For I am a pariah. Correct society?
If power was vested in me
To change merely one thing
I’d change you
Hip-Hop.
A rhythm
Given to console her
After he shattered her hymen when having his way without assent that one night
A rhythm given to skies of the ghetto when the sun, so shy
Doesn’t rise in sights of convicts and criminals
A rhythm given to justify escape and encourage my high after feeling so low in a jungle So cynical.
A rhythm given when mother drinks herself to sleep
Or father feels the need to beat his anger out of me
Again.
A rhythm that replaces my sorrows with materialism
Jail-bounding brothers
Making worthless women
Who look in the mirror and see reflection of
A worthless woman
Ease my trials with punch lines about your monetary status
In which the feminine
Canis lupus familiaris is the “baddest”
Father wasn’t there
Hip-hop was
Now we know the only way out is “trapping”
Distributing vices to our own
People.
If power was vested in me
To change merely one thing
I’d change you
Hip-Hop.
An entity heartlessly raping poverty fractured mentalities
With, corporate inflicted,
Corrupt imbalances
Leading a people to self-annihilation
Contaminating thought process, perspectives and spirit of generations
You are like the wind
Eroding away a foundation
Already unstable
If power was vested in me
To change merely one thing
I’d Put an end to assisted genocide.
I’d change you
Hip-Hop.
