Kansas City Mural

By Anthony Anthem

In this city where people are homicidal
to even wear the colors you have to cut off a vital
killa city’s a title
where going west has no fivel
civilians and the rivals
can get it upon arrival
These days so many are packing rifles
gripping clips for survival
escaping stones with their titles
bullets, glocks, and a bible
spiritual with an idol
god vs satan and fighting for a revival
living on the other side of the tracks
my mulatto city mixed with the whites and blacks
There was a day when my town wasn’t having that
a segregated state of mind made a split in the habit
Separate but equal with a latch
The Neck was the side of the city for the blacks
Cross the wrong lines then you may not come back
White capes by the stacks
have you roped till you snapped
The history that’s left unspoken
my great grandfather saw the hate in open
now i understand why he shows no emotion
Those times given rough to the blacks with no lotion
That’s quoted
And noted
Fully uncoded
If the struggle was a book then that man could have just wrote it
Novels fully loaded
Truths worth exposing
Knowledge fully open
The Questioned ways of coping
Fast forward to a city in different presence
The life here in the present
Has its own essence
METH CAPITAL Bold like its caps message
SOA and Breaking Bad mix with its own methods
Plus the wire and the riches with their own sections
My mural of my reflection
Of my protection
My story instead of writing in books
I’d rather lay it down with 16’s and fully loaded hooks
