Records

it’s so important to record

i sit here trying to record

trying to find a new profound

way to say

johnson is the vilest

germiest beast

the world has ever

known

in the alleged civilized

times

trying to record

how i feel about a

family

being wiped out

trying to explain

that they have nothing

against bobby

he’s a white

millionaire

several hundred times over

so it must be me

they are killing

trying to record

the feeling of shame

that we Black people

haven’t yet

committed a

major assassination

which very desperately

must be

done

trying to record the

ignorance of the

voices

that say

i’m glad a negro

didn’t do it

a negro needs to kill

something

trying to record

that this country must be

destroyed

if we are to live

must be destroyed if we are to live

must be destroyed if we are to live
