Titled: Barbecue
Ratata ta!! tuh! du! dum!
Thick smokes rising from the concrete jungle and the hinterlands
The unmistakable sounds of lead pellets rent the air
And like sea shells on a beach ...spent bullet shells litter the streets
The drummers and the war drums are thudding in unison
The bandits and law keepers are throttling, are in sync in this melee
The lawgivers are trotting towards a resolution
Spicy barbecue on the grill
And one doesn’t need a soothsayer to know this for a fact
Freedom and human liberties are on the skewer
It’s that season again
It’s an uprising
The rising of the dregs of society
The balls of the bourgeoisie are being tightly squeezed
Moral justification for the rebellion is debated
The rebellious are being quizzed
When is the upheaval going to abate?
The power brokers areas forever tinkering
One and all want the bickering, for the violence to be silenced
A hybrid of Commando and Rambo is organizing
The riff raffs he is galvanizing
The plague rats are on the rampage
The town is overrun
Akin to a rundown town
Heed to our demand
And to your command we will heed
The mouthys’ mouth is wide agape
The toothless are left speechless
Its survival of the ruthless
The spineless are left rooted to the bottom
This is not like your everyday ruff n tumble in the jungle
Fumble then you stumble get crumbled and humbled
