Streets

Sniff!
The very embodiment of ‘cool’
Blue notes and Black streets
All linked together by the need to express
Expressive expressions in an express format
I’m impressed

Jim Crow and co. relinquished the very foundations of life
In the relegation of strife, the delegation of the knife
Flying daggers ushering harmony and discontent
Tonal disharmony and jazz content

What little they had, they gave all they had
Severing the hose that hosed them
Deafening the dogs of dogma

I stand in awe at the souls of Soul
What might they have given me
What right they have given all

A double edged sword thrust into the master
All with the self righteous suicide of the servant
