riding thy rthymic redemption song, 1992
entering thy grocery store within thy
pearly un-gated hood, hangry to buy,
being shot in thou coldest blood . . .
being a baby cherub, . . . filmed . . .

replaying, repeating, and televising, . . .
showing, whilst asking, . . .
thinking havenโt we seen this before?
changing channels, fasting, . . .
chanting, praying, singing, . . .
repeating . . .havenโt we seen this before?

holding thy chest out, thy head held high, .. . .
pumping thy fist up, thy voice shaking . .
cracking, protesting, thy soul dying . . .
promising, being unkept, and thy dreams . .
dying, burning, growing hotter as thou . . .

rising up, up, and away, flames . . .
exploding and imploding in and out, . . .
breathing in: love, liberty, and justice for all . . .
breathing out: hate, shackles, and injustices .

praying, and feeling within the hearts
feeling within each of us, lies thou. . .
seeing sacred cherubs and heavenly angels . . .
entering the joyous pearly golden gates. . .
