Window Seal

Milk on the window seal

By CaneGo

Half of gallon of vitamin D

Powered version on the sink with no cereal to eat

No heat only candles to burn

Stay out passed the street lights

Senseless fights cuz you might not make it

Needed to take it or even fake it

No bread to spread around the table

Mom wasn’t able no fable no lie

Willing to die never saw her cry

Slice up the government swiss

Used the box to hide bliss

Tried to push B soda to Miss fiend

Only D boys stayed clean

Raised on High street canned up like Spam meat

Can’t accept defeat so I ran with a fleet of

Fellows missing love...but still broke bread

Probably all dead or penned up North

Moved down South looking for relief

Other side of the map but the same grief

Burning the same leaf searching for escapism

Capitalism ain’t made for you and me

Government fees keep us praying to the Trinity

Three ways to perish only cherish the root of all evil

Green notes with pictures of slave owners

Murders posing like founders

Robbing nations in the name of an unknown King

Building vessels with only thing in mind

Acting kind then handing out sting

But we all kean……..
