Colorist Rhythmics//Anthro-Apologist - Rhys Langston, Kato

Je ne suis pas charlie

Brown skin

Of the other type

Low calorie melanin high-

Yellow extra friend hype

(blithe mic

Appropriative flight

Advantageous white

Colorist rhythmics in 2042 hindsight)

House negro problems?

Well, 43 of them

99 ways to utilize

Poor historiography pyrite bundles

Activation of ideas idealized

In bundled negritude

Cosigned proxy to a rude

Luge down history food

Really my dude?

Points for a family feud?

Well, survey says

Education precludes

Antiquated divisions moved

Toward a gradient of smooth-

Talked notions of you

As if a rape of history

Won’t reel into the future for

Lakeside reflections

Of 1492

Fishing for that racial rule

‘cause the minds a tool

To fabricate new identity politic

Fishnet school of

Darker-skinned white supremacy fools

Believing in a system that, shit

Never really could be true

RIGHT?

Imagine life as a series of moving products

Imagine on your conveyer belt fell saw dust

Imagine all lives matter-

Correction those who operate ladders

Sorry but my bladder’s full of white tears

Your vegan muffin store

And your 401k fears

Sorry that your savior complex corresponds with

The post war years

That your security is social

Culture index coastal

Your boastful music journalism

Is Christopher Columbus

Stumbling on Brave New Worlds

Rheumatic and rotunded, humongous

Sorry that inflated language is a means for simple justice

That you can’t trust this:

Living room beats

As colloquial discussion

Discourse for sore throats

Sorry that voices drown on refugee boats

That purified water is $ 30 monthly donations

That charity is neocolonial gesticulation

A fresh coat of paint

A metonym for

Ethno-state proclamation

A declaration: all men are created equal, but we unmake them

For the cost of living breaks them

(for the cost of living is what breaks them)

Sorry that we terraformed ecologies

Economically

Supply equals demand

Another self-fulfilling prophecy

Piecemeal explanations for just some species supremacy

(piecemeal explanations for a species supremacy)

—I'm sorry, on behalf of all of us
