They don’t want our racist views,<\/p>\n
to take center stage and blow our fuse.<\/p>\n
But I’d like to have an alternative muse,<\/p>\n
that were bound by our brothers,<\/p>\n
no matter the hues.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hugh wasn’t huge,<\/p>\n
he rarely stood tall.<\/p>\n
Didn’t know if he loved,<\/p>\n
or could be loved at all.<\/p>\n
but respect he had from all and sundry,<\/p>\n
cause he worked hard for a better laundry.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He gave ME some helpful tips,<\/p>\n
he showed ME how life could be hips.<\/p>\n
Told me<\/p>\n
whas’ imporan’<\/p>\n
But now its lost,<\/p>\n
the boomers be dormant.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sandwiched between<\/p>\n
the silent gen,<\/p>\n
The boomers<\/p>\n
millennials,<\/p>\n
why are z-gens,<\/p>\n
my friend.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Why reincarnate<\/p>\n
into this place,<\/p>\n
did god want my life,<\/p>\n
full of disgrace.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Learning from hell,<\/p>\n
mourning for heaven,<\/p>\n
how long did it take me,<\/p>\n
to go to eleven.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Happy to service,<\/p>\n
hoping for peace,<\/p>\n
bend on destruction,<\/p>\n
was never the case.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sixty three cousins,<\/p>\n
last I count,<\/p>\n
all though some are gone,<\/p>\n
none are devout.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We give lip service,<\/p>\n
to the great lord Christ,<\/p>\n
donate our hard earned,<\/p>\n
watch how its spent twice.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
First on the church,<\/p>\n
that gathers up dust,<\/p>\n
telling of the dirt,<\/p>\n
we’ll be reaching all of us.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Then to the servants,<\/p>\n
that are spreading the fud,<\/p>\n
maybe some will drop<\/p>\n
off with a thud.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The FOMO experts,<\/p>\n
with bands and mics,<\/p>\n
who’ll condemn us to service,<\/p>\n
that’ll be their device.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They’ve convinced themselves,<\/p>\n
that we want to hear,<\/p>\n
how to improve,<\/p>\n
and who to fear.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But I’ll let you know,<\/p>\n
there’s no such thing,<\/p>\n
one day you’ll see,<\/p>\n
there’s other life’s in a spin.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They’ve been put there,<\/p>\n
with mountains of hate,<\/p>\n
livelong wars,<\/p>\n
no end to debate.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They assert,<\/p>\n
that they know their place,<\/p>\n
valuable indeed,<\/p>\n
despite their race.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Taking no,<\/p>\n
responsibility,<\/p>\n
throwing mud,<\/p>\n
at whatever they see.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And I’ve spoken,<\/p>\n
about this plan,<\/p>\n
for God to have,<\/p>\n
a better man.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One who’ll love,<\/p>\n
and show the way,<\/p>\n
scratch our backs,<\/p>\n
and let us pray.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One who’ll wave,<\/p>\n
and blow a kiss,<\/p>\n
one who’ll smile,<\/p>\n
and lend us his.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One who’ll study,<\/p>\n
read and see,<\/p>\n
experiment with,<\/p>\n
consciously.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Make it simple,<\/p>\n
remove the rules,<\/p>\n
leave them for,<\/p>\n
the lesser fools.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Showing love,<\/p>\n
learning life,<\/p>\n
departing from,<\/p>\n
all this strife.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So blessed are the builder boys,<\/p>\n
the engineers and all their toys.<\/p>\n
Blessed are the maintenance men,<\/p>\n
they’re fighting entropy till the end.<\/p>\n
Blessed are factory hands,<\/p>\n
without their help we’d live in vans.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Blessed are,<\/p>\n
the corporate leaders,<\/p>\n
the venture capitalists,<\/p>\n
the angel investors.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Blessed are,<\/p>\n
those that walk,<\/p>\n
those that run,<\/p>\n
not those that talk.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Blessed are,<\/p>\n
those that pray,<\/p>\n
those that mark,<\/p>\n
this as the day.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Blessed are,<\/p>\n
never mind,<\/p>\n
not to worry,<\/p>\n
its patsy time.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
