c
ontrol the discretion of a dope fiend’s confession
but the interrogation session remains on the

 floor

cut-up like a r-i-b-b-o-n
because they’re giving us drama
predominately our numbers
no stopping no commas
financing the summers of heartless embalmers
the new jeffrey dahmers that harm us like trauma
eating flesh courtesy of all the major NETWORKS
though your turf is artificial
it places you in PRIME position
to present your rendition and further condition

unsuspecting minds some sipping wine
unaware that their broadcasting station
is strategically influencing a restless nation

with inflated STATISTICS
to make you think that you’re risking your life
(see Juan had a knife and a motive
so 3 strikes, now he’s out now let’s vote it)
now you’re toting a weapon
sadly thinking you’re helping the cause
but you brushed but didn’t floss
so the next loss of life is accidently your wife
and this time you’re the stat wishing you could go
back          to another channel but the PANEL
has assembled f a s t forwarding
to the next subliminal as lethal as chemicals
requiring only a minimum dosage
to again set the wheels in m o t i o n
to keep you focused, subdued, and glued
to your set, identifying your threats
instructing you on what’s happening next
on the PRIME-TIME channel
giving you more than you can handle

like the scandals and scams of minorities
pigmentation gives them prority
but what about the majority?!
you’re losing your power and authority
to gold chains, rims, and beepers / those slothful creatures
in the bleachers begging for handouts
while the deficit continues to mount
on account of too many:
first of the months and illegitimates
america now viewed as no more than a surrogate
jeopardizing the nation’s heritage; like affirmative action
it’s crashing all the parties / republicans and democrats
with misleading facts, fake heart-attacks
to distract our attention
to maintain the lynching of

unsuspecting minds some sipping wine
reclined in their shrine of relaxation
unaware that their broadcasting station
is strategically influencing a restless nation

with more deceptive ways and tainted surveys of applicants
less qualified but then MAGNIFIED by 10
to bring more suspense in like:
jobs being robbed by charity cases
with faces of color under gazes of hatred
because of token legislation and privileged education
scholarships laced with guilt trips
allows you to write the script of:

unsuspected minds some sipping wine
reclined in their shrine of relaxation
unaware that their broadcasting station
is strategically influencing a restless nation

with discrimination in reverse, a blessing at first but now a curse
rehearsed on a stage of sinister faces constantly receiving raises
while the disenfranchised is still making minimum wages
but you won’t find this on the pages of your local newspaper
(but if you look real close and squint
it’s the article on the back in fine print)
but don’t you get bent out of shaPE
because it’ll be shown at 6 or 8
but if not definitely at 10
can’t risk reality soaking in and disrupt the conditioning of:

unsuspecting minds some sipping wine
reclined in their shrine of relaxation
unaware that their broadcasting station
is strategically influencing a restless nation
