Election Day ~ Friday, June 24, 2022

Time to vote again. Vote early and vote often
if to be on time meant something in this country
may I vote against my co-workers who arrive
especially late to work as is their fashion

to bad mouth the tribe is a joke inside a joke
of course they are Black and with a capital B

virtue is a joke, to work is a joke, the hive
often fails on time but their failure arrives late
to vote against Black, one accepts the tribe is broke
especially broke with their dim bulbs and dull blades

accept the broken with the young, gifted and Black
gifted, sharp and bright, this portion of the tribe fades
accept the hidden along with those who talk smack
industry: a joke, a joke within a joke, great
nobody works here but rejects, lifetime failures

virtue is unknown but the virtual is real
only cyberspace is a quick game for dimwits
the bulb isn't bright, how and why this world endures
especially now with climate change in the works

especially since no one thinks it's a big deal
arguments arise in Congressional panels
read politicians and lobbyists stonewalling
legislation since the 70s as the perks
yes, the benefits don't benefit lobbyists

accept the mindless with the dim and dull, regress
neither to the past where women wear bobby socks
drunken with clenched fists, the foresight of our Congress

victory declared by Dubya, the world stalling
only to declare Mission Accomplished, halfwits
technically brilliant, subtle to ignore crises
especially when the world is on fire, not yet

ongoing crises, inflation, climbing prices
forget the markets, fill up a tank of gas, bet
time waits for no one, if I quit, the little shits
especially late, take charge of the reins, all good
no one cares, no one minds job loss within the hood
