Religious Right
Nail a son up on a wall
A holy time iz had by all
His holes are in flesh
While mine are in faith
I don't believe the church and state
No excuse come Judgement Day
4get thy scripture
Thy lessons learned
Remember those unjustly burned
4 believing in a separate path
4 refusing 2 kiss the Pope's fat ass
Whose Vatican City puppet show
Iz designed 2 make sure everyone knows
His GOD

The Proud Woman
The woman stood upon her front porch
I saw her in passing
As I drove past her house
And thought 2 myself
Have I ever seen a woman as proud?
She wuz beautiful and black
Head held high despite being attacked
Time and again
Simply 4 the color of her skin
The woman stood upon her front porch
And I wanted 2 cry out
"I'm sorry 4 everything U have 2 go through!"
But by then my car
Had passed from her view
Besides
That would be pity
She wouldn't want that
I told myself as I fought the urge
2 turn around and go back
Walk up 2 her and say
U are the most beautiful woman I have seen
In many a day
The woman stood upon the front porch
Blessed with child inside
A young black warrior
Who will soon be born
Filled with his mother's pride
