Humanity i hate you ~ Tuesday, May 26, 2026

I knew one day this day (would) come, Harlem

I am not a prophet of bad conscience

kingdom come, will be done on earth, heaven
nods off, listens to jazz, Sonny Rollins
end of an era, our correspondence
wanes after death, A Great Day in Harlem

on a day like this, natural, seven
no one knows when their time will come, who wins
everyone cries for what reason, for tears

decide our fate, our emotions, the gem
aspires to rise above but falls down
yes, away but to where, move on, we pass

theatrical, this life, upside-down frown
how a legacy born, lets go, en masse
in time, we recognize our loss, our fears
stuck on a blue note, bent without purpose

decision-making swayed by emotions
asinine as a donkey brays, defeat
yes, death wins, without sense, sit on the bus

wait, why are we stranded, sit on the fence
only God knows nothing is uneven
unless we cleansed the doors of all our sins
lifted the burden weight, nothing more dense
deafening blows, a child pulls at my hem

considering the snail, a poet wrote
obviously, nothing matters, oceans
mercilessly boil, we give thanks, a beat
each to their own, we drown, the deep blue sea

Harlem is no longer Harlem, the goat
as the greatest of all time is now dead
remember him fondly, falsely, speak not
let go of grievances, today, I read
exactly, the obituary, dot
mind finds not even a blip on the screen
