Earplug (2015)

Earplug  (2015)
It's like a cycle 
of nightmares in inception.

Wake up to find myself
in the care of a dead one.

If there's levels
to this, where's my resurrection?

Because your Jesus doesn't look like
the one of Lazarus' recollection.

Reflection.

Deflection.

Rejection.

Silenced by the deafening decibels
of their violence and weapons.

While your silence merely deadens.

We don't want YOUR
jammed drums, anvils and hammers.

You're being ransomed,
so "stand still for the camera!"

Bought by the media that's feeding you lies.
'Keep eating it up like medium fries.'
Feeding you a few free peanuts
as we're being privatized.
It's g- e- no- cide combined like Five Guys.

Martin.
Malcolm.
Medgar.
Huey.
Herbert Lee.

If I'm a hashtag, tell them:
You have
Heard of
Me.

With subversive speech
preaching to the cultural Christian norm,
that stays hidden from harm,
and looks nothing like the Jesus
that extended His arms.
Structured/Sonnet
