Ellusive-Fugitive **\\Thread//**
barely literate youths band like wolf packs, teeth bared,
hungry eyes shine a sublime, haunting shade of black,
trapped, dont make eye contact,
threat so real and heartfelt, pray for courage to counteract
developed instincts is mandatory, lights nearly extinct
hatred smoulders, heavy shoulders,
soldiers blast revolvers, babies sniffin' solvents
time reveals, unhealed scars, fight continues, until the last
not even reservations, for fertile lands taken,
forced incarceration on aboriginal nations,
first all able men wrongfully taken,
then 1200 armed troops sent, women and children raped,
fatherless boys, emotionally void, world destroyed,
as peaceful villages burn smoke clouds, choked crowds,
picture of mothers on knees hands raised, wailing to god loud,
time reveals, unhealed scars, incarcerated in iron bars
from ashes chastised natives born with urban eyes,
desensitised, concrete tribes, still the earth cries,
call 'em x, phoenix, spirits weakened violent leanings
twist necks, welfare checks & street respect, break thumbs,
no escape as venomous tongues leave you stung,
young teens, degenerate fiends, seek next victims,
no problem, beating & robbin' for crumbs, fucked up stars of the slums,
time reveals, unhealed scars, incarcerated in iron bars
Distorted thought reflecting out broken panes,
master of no-sword sowing seed in physical plains,
constant struggling, nourishing,
perpetual karma, peaceful warriors armor
dabbling metaphysical heavens made me intuitive,
elusive fugitive, meditating on how we live...
as sky thundering,
street lights stuttering, my soul is shuddering,
in foreign tongues muttering, philosophical utterings
unacknowledged history, its misery, a legacy of inhumanity,
flooding deepest recess of subconscious memory,
visions appear before me, ancestors warning,
a beacon, guiding I through stormy,
volatile infuriations on seas of incarnation,
torn between two warring nations of my creation,
that flag aint nothing but a blood soaked rag
broken hearted on the curb
sipping cheap liquor outta paper bag
savouring super-natural wisdom of the zigzags
time reveals, unhealed scars, incarcerated in iron bars
Devils relentless, after pillaging the defenceless,
grandmothers' beaten for expressing self in native sentence,
forgotten society, colonial piracy, roof shaking violently, the proud suffer silently...
wisdom from beyond the sum of years,
see wounds irrepairable,
its traces, etched upon they faces, to most illegible
unending ripples, its terrible
praying for death,
in gunpowder cultures depicted by Wyclef,
an albatross' teardrops,
our way of life stopped
once were heralded by royal trumpets, lived righteous, love abundant,
now days are numbered on walls of spiritual dungeons,
still my heart travels home at night through iron bars...
Elusive Fugitive
