It’s the GQ suit onthe brotha who is homeless.
It’s the Vogue outfit on the sista on welfare.
It’s the smile on topof the lie.
It’s the excuse instead of the apology.
It’s the perfume ontop of last nights funk.
It’s the make-up ontop of acne.
It’s the poetry that hides the intentions.
It’s the beauty hiding the beast.
It’s the sheep’s clothing cover the wolf.
It’s the curtain hiding the brick wall.
It’s the apple infront of the snake.
It’s the Novocain that tells your body it
doesn’t hurt when it does.
It’s the beautiful palm trees in the
background of the picture the inmate
sends to his children.
It’s the mirage in the desert.
It’s the check is in the mail.
It’s the cabbage without the patch.
It’s the top of the bottomless pit.
It’s the cereal without the toy.
It’s the car that turns into an apartment
when the sun goes down.
It’s the seduction before the assault.
It’s the $29.00 round trip aid, for flights
that cost $239.00 one-way.
It’s the get high on the down low.
It’s the rock AND the hard place.
And hopefully, you will recognize it as bs
before it gets to your jugular.
