The Political Issue
Vol. 4 Issue 2


When
by Enhance


When intercourse
Becomes an ego stroke
Rather than souls interlocking
Look in the mirror
Yourself who is mocking
When people
Become masses to be managed,
Misappropiated, raped,
Fleeced
The angel we perceive
Is really a beast
When honesty
Become a perfume
Rather than the truth
While we still clamber
for cultural proof
Of who is best and who was first
When a man's worth
Is still based upon
The place of his birth
If the color of my skin
Really matters to you
I'm a black man who
Struggles
Juggles
Hugs thugs
And does drugs . . .
