"Dread" Locs 2020

I've officially enrolled my hair into the ballot

since it screams at corporate America like a ballad

a ballad of 12 years

a ballad of dread

a ballad of fear 

L grow my locs to cover my ears

but I still hear you

"Your heads too greasy."

"OMG how do you get it to do that?"

"How long did it take for you to dedicate your life to a nappy headed struggle?"

Translation your locs are inappropriate 

a distraction in the schools

the kids can't pay attention 

so schools pay police to escort our children 

all federally and/or state funded

I guess my locs aren't invited to the discussion but it's the developing topic 

the top of my head seems to carry so much dread

as if they became, the biological manifestation, of a chain. 

 since my hair is such a debate. 

Twisting my roots until the legends locked together

As if my heritage was so deep rooted in the country 

My face became its representative 

they ban locs and twists as if it were communists

politics is the art or science of government 

concerned with winning and holding control

competition between competing interest groups for power and leadership 

A complex of relations between people living in society

But my complexion doesn't sit well with society

 why is my hair a political issue? 

my hair is not running for office

so having an officer escort little brown children for hair growth is a waste of time and tax dollars 

Why am I paying taxes if black lives matter? 

Since I'm grandfathered in this contract

For 400 years and back

Shouldn't my reparations cover that? 

Since we all part of the same +loyalty club

But laws never applied to it

segregation was never truly abolished 

I could see between glass ceilings 

The tiers of another class

Like allstars and wild cats

depending on who you're talking to its highlight or crime right? 

Cuz you might lose your job

but its not discrimination 

even tho black folks are the ones who rock locs 

guess I'm putting my locs in the ballet

so my slogan is growth

i have many policies

my locs will build a wall between the have and the have nots

those who have locs and those who have not accepted them

If you're interested in bigotry 

And even jokingly like racism

There's a special place for you 

On the other side of that wall. 

Several seats, plush leather

Or whatever. 

Point being
