1. don't think too much, too soon
when it's too little, too late don't suck the air from the room while someone else suffocates imagine a mile in the shoes that some devil keeps lacing you in who used god as an excuse to behave and to say what's less than human 2. don't tell the rain it's dry don't tell the sun it's hot don't point, don't lie, don't patronize it won't erase all the rotten parts you got imagine centuries in the skin that some thief keeps taking you in who finds new ways of legislating for the hate of your melanin for the guilt of their wrong-doing for the envy of your elegance for the safety of their dominance for the trembling fear of your perserverance for the crazy high of arrogance for the lazy love of ignorance for the hate of your melanin for the hate of your melanin
