Poetry "White Words" 2001 (Montreal Spoken word)

White Words

White Words, words sentenced to rhyme.
Confined and Constricted around ideas
Judged for Merit, structure, and flow
going the way of dinosaurs, as drug induced visions impede the intellect with abstractions void of roots.

White Words, why do you farsake me?
provoke me, embrace me, fuck me
and then leave me, just as I reach climax
on the page before me.
Go. your black lover awaits, ready to rap you into submission, and fill your
tight white love

White Words, words sentence to rhyme.
incarcerated in ignorance, parolled by passion
walking and talking in fragmented conversations
between disconnected lawyers, twisting and turning truth,
building facades of freedom over primordial cages of desire.

White Words, why do you forsake me?
Please, no more, go into that hiphop culture
Court the pounding tribal drums, waiting to rip you open,
stretching your meaning and cramming your elastic truth with dark secrets.

White Words, Fuck off.
