The Poet Will Lie

By Khali Raymond

The poet isn't always aware. The poet isn't always righteous. The poet isn't always impeccable. The poet isn't always truthful. The poet isn't always giving. One thing the poet is though is human. The poet will make mistakes. The poet will miss the mark. The poet will cry. The poet will yell. The poet will resent. The poet will adore. One thing the poet always does is this... craft.

Pentameters of Hell

we living in bereft times, it’s the KKK era all over again

except for the KKK, it’s cops and feds

Bloods and Crips against the innocent

this was the supremacist’s dream

for black people to turn against each other

all they had to do was put us in the ghetto

compile us into deteriorating housing projects

pollute our water, taint our food

cut funding for the schools

give us teachers who are only there to collect a check

not teaching us anything, yet they blame us for terrible grades and test scores

this state been failing us

i’m spitting pentameters of hell, the American Dream?

that’s a cute way to spell oppression, bullshit, and nightmares

it all sounded great on paper

i don’t gotta tell you the rest, those immigrants were lied to after they left Ellis Island

leaving diaspora only to come to another one

America is only great for discrimination

ask the old white bitch in Walmart who hates Mexicans

because they taking jobs y’all too privileged to keep

you resign and collect pension six months later

that’s why you have people like me

who speak out and help their people

however, every time a black man does that

you criminalize
