Me and Poetry Got a Love Thang

So much of American pop culture glorifies ignorance,

But glorifying knowledge will never lose significance,

I used to be independent

With the occasional woman friend,

Then love found me,

And I was cooler than I had ever been,

Foreplay on full display,

I finger fuck patience and peace,

Creating a radiant beast,

If only poetry could speak,

If the World Falls Apart

If the world falls apart,

I don’t care,

As long as you are there,

By my side,

And I don’t care how you wear your hair,

Up there or down there,

I’ll walk this journey with you

Stride for stride,

They said I was different,

Lord knows I tried,

When We get Killed by the Cops

When we get killed by the cops

There is always a debate,

You say they were just following procedure,

That It isn’t hate,

But I spotted the racism at the starting gate,

You discuss our fate over the dinner plate,

A life sentence or a death sentence

Because of my color,

Joy in Repetition

She took just one glance

And it fucked up her whole family dynamic,

The Don is not only larger than life, but he’s gigantic,

The flow is 100% pure, other worldly,

Superior planet,

With the complexion and the stamina

To outlast Inferior stand-ins,

While I was writing paradise,

She was just looking for a good fuck,

After going up and down like a push-up,

I said I was about to conquer poetry,

She said good luck,

An Ego as Wide as the Universe IV (Dominance)

There is strength in vulnerability,

That is why you always wanted to chill with me,

Learning how to be at peace with the stillness,

Selective Silence,

When we fucked it was lustful

Projectile violence,

Minds beyond erotic, somewhere exotic,

Bodies on autopilot,

Put you in the figure four,

Our legs locked,

A horseman,

So, the beds rocked,

Endangered Species – Zudo Connections

She had seen a lot of things, so she was not easily impressed,

That was, until she encountered the Don,

Then she eagerly undressed,

Her mental faculty was a complicated fixation,

Our visits to the bedroom were nothing short of amazing,

She predicted greatness in my future,

Taught me with patience like a tutor,

IN MY OWN HOME

I can’t imagine being sleep IN MY OWN HOME,

Then all of a sudden, I’m shot eight times…

Dead and gone,

Breonna Taylor my heart cries for you,

Police brutality constantly disregards the truth,

Pure Pleasure (Coming Soon)

Her deepthroat made me believe in God,

I disappeared inside her moonlight,

My back has since healed from the scars,

Fulfilling fantasies in between the bars,

Next book will be strictly for the adults,

If only you knew how many poems were in my vault,

Go with the Flow

If it was up to 45 the Exonerated Five

Would have been executed,

Yet some of y’all want to focus on the so-called looting,

Rather than the solutions,

Not worried at all about what we are protesting about,

I Can Still Hear Her

Thanks to the prison industrial complex

Our young men are putting your kids through college,

For many it took a knee on Floyd’s neck

For institutional racism to even be acknowledged,

Capital “J”

She misses that sick tongue,

Spitting that wisdom,

Black Sultan Productions

Stands with the underdogs and the victims,

Have fate wondering why God picked them,

Lounging in lyricism

Target Practice

Now you want to profile me

For wearing the very mask our state said to wear,

You hate my Black skin, and my nappy hair,

But most of all you hate the way Becky and Karen stare,

I’m like your worst nightmare,

Black and beautiful,

41 Shots (The Murder of Amadou Diallo)

I can’t imagine coming home to my apartment only to be a target,

Shot at 41 times with only a wallet in my pocket,

19 bullets tore through my beautiful Black skin,

Bullet wounds singe,

As the police brutality and racial profiling wins yet again,

Another bigot grins as it is one less darkie…

1999 – Dreaming of Me

She was the type to touch herself when her coochie got wet,

She said I was the greatest,

I said you ain’t seen nothing yet,

This was long before the days of settling down,

The Don had to dislodge more than several rounds,

Saboteur

Amazing how quickly things can go from heavenly to tragic,

But as fate would have it,

While you and your sweetie pie were living lavish

Your ex was thinking savage,

Your ex would play the role of saboteur

With intentions far from pure,

Protest Poonany

Tired of being tired

After another Black man’s life was expired,

They walked the streets,

Saw folks looting, and witnessed a couple of fires,

The city lost its mind,

But at this point in time

They just wanted to unwind,

Greatness is a Process (The Promo) (2020)

So I created planets where my brilliance could manage,

Back on Planet Zudo I couldn’t help how the flow reacted,

That, and the Don’s good looks

Kept the hoes distracted,

The Sultan conquered all with well molded tactics,

DeJuan carries on tradition by publishing the dopest classics
