Black Church In White America

When He came,
they said He was lyin'.
Disciples by the dozens
Doing the supplyin'.
Sqeeky clean,
But, no bold head.
Images are more consistent:
He had dreads.

Sharin' real emotions wit' supa'ficials.
They don't like it,
But He gotta let real flow.
Minglin' with the common thug,
they do the blockin'.
His favorite number is 16:
Lock'd behin' the bars.

As normal as the Carhart,
The workin' man is poppin'.
Half the proceeds to Your Lord,
Cuz He's your Lawyer.
In the Va lour,
To the streets delivering the message.
That man has two strikes,
Next: You get the message.

Judgment day is a comin',
someone has to pay, Damn.
Life is a give-take;
Problem-solution;
humans-pollution;
Dichotomy;
Astrology;
Metaphors;
And Irony:
The Black Church In White American.
