Scarlet River

The river that runs twixt Texas and Oklahoma
Native blood the same as the native color
The river that runs from the gulf to Canada
Contains parts unknown in the negro panacea
It’s an unrest that passes all confusion
How do we awaken from this demonic illusion
Hallucination of collusion with power that’s soft
But it’s flacidity doesn’t merit a scoff
Pay attention to the way they speak
And the stupidity we seek will show a river of red
A river bed that’s capitalism’s fellow
Nevermind that their blood is hallowed
To them but really their hearts are fallowed cuz they are insatiable for
Red blood, red blood red blood I said
There’s a reason we’re called red blooded Americans
Because they feed on us from the top on in
Vampires of energy and matter alike
#Nolivesmatter pay attention to the chatter
Red Russia red life
Scarlet River
