Politics in my Expedition

We puff puff pass

As we discuss about politicians

We grew up in a system

Where the dopiest politician

Is selling hope in mass quantities

To those of the darker pigment.

Dave extrapolates...

To those who’ve lied about changing race

In no haste he states.

Obama can’t move mountains

Unless Congress opens their mind

About the topic of race

We began to exchange the blunt a lot slower.

For conversation has taken place,

I start speaking…..

And in words we dare not mention

We find traces of racism

Repeat in the penal system.

This is dedicated to those who don’t read

Before they listen.

For it’s the document that speaks the truth.

And the mouth that echoes lies from a distance.

Hoping to put thoughts in the minds of my brothers

As we exhale and inhale
