#loudsilence aka #ripmbone by Night the Author #poetry

Does is take racks on racks..
To have your brother's back?
Why can't we have..
a self-destruction in 2011?
Egos too big..
The clear port is full
My liquor brand is blowing up..

Hip-hop..your silence has bass..
Brothers killing each other
That face buys your lyrics..
They wear your "red"..
No responsiblity..I get it.
Sell us your poison..
We'll buy it..liquor..clothing.

You can never sell us knowledge?
You can never sell empowerment?
Sell us Garvey..
Sell us King..
Sell us Malcolm..

That #loudsilence becomes..
Deafening to the ears of the youth
Ask who killed M-Bone?
Ask who killed Pac?
Ask who killed Big?
Ask who killed Big L?

Look in the mirror..
Hip-hop if you can
Keep your songs and ringtones..
Please just understand
Some of us hear your..
#loudsilience.
