tears

Only the eyes of a hip hop head
would drop tears
screaming onomatopoeia's
when he crys
its like hes dropping beats
they fall with booms and baps
carpet booming sadness
from the souls windows
annihilating the ants of the asphalt
its funny how your problems never seem to
contain them selves
to pertain to yourself
and so its contagious sorrows
filling the trees hallows
making the mad dog howellllll
which in tern wakes up the old man
who walks to work with a scowl
because he got no sleep last night
which might explain why when he read that bill he signed
he skipped the last line
and legalized racial profiling
so on the way to the spot
the hip hop head got got
pulled over and cuffed by a cop
unrightfully detained
so back he fought
an extended sentence
was his only reward for his civil rights persistence
and so
boom boom bap
alone in a cell
boom boom bap
the hip hop head cries
boom boom bap
the poet cries
boom boom bap
my people cry
boom boom bap bap
onomatopoeia tears.
