July 14

Just try being He
a white boy on the streets
just try seeing He
invisible. A freak
as He sleeps at your feet
He dreams of being complete
more than obsolete
what does 'I' mean?
He goes to the place
where he was once raised
he things change
like the look on their face
the smell of chicken
hot dogs and burgers
a delicious smoked briskett
the essence is finger-lickin'
Grandma and Pa
and Reade and Var
sharing scary stories
long after dark
how things change
like the look on their face
filled with hate and rage
this is no place for He to stay
