NGR Verses: Chapter 2

Aiyana Jones: Channels of Dreams
Channels of dreams
sleeping not,
merging side by side of
flashes of awakenings
blinking, flickering brilliance
from your smiling eyes
good mornings, forever.
—Xzyzst

Philando Castile: Digital Scroll
Digital scroll
upload your last breath
into eternity
all seeing eyes glossed
in real time
Queen Shero of brilliance
our princess of many lessons
in the rear seat
as another driven king
exhales his last into
the new digital scroll.
—Xzyzst

Lin "Split" Newborn: No Longer Gone
Sun books and thorn brooks
screaming in a loud voice
Complex cities, solar illuminated
the opiated sings with a proud choice

Never traversing the night
to the light of the dawn
never-ending struggle and fight
until you are no longer gone.
—Xzyzst

Alex Nieto: Loved
Actions contrary to its salvation
ignorance is willing to steal you away

Terror is not bait for the fasting
and now there's a price ot pay

Critical tensions integrated
bodies through souls

Love knows no hatred
and hatred must never know
just how much you are loved.
—Xzyzst

Seville Smith: Stay With Us
Don't go, my soul,
Stay
Inherit this castle
built by your hands

Don't go, my soul
Stay
Remain the actual
designer of plans

Don't go, my soul
Stay
Refuse this world to grieve

Don't go, my soul
Stay
Please continue to breathe
—Xzyzst

Oscar Herrera: Mesmerizing Best
Rushed you to die
before death has come
Spirits sustains no lie
until we all become one.
One, again, in truth we rest
in power we live, one,
as one, at our mesmerizing best.
—Xzyzst

Mieah Johnson: Revolution of Love
Revolution of love
only conceding to dimensions
of our minds which justifies
our aspiration to remain so
ever so connected to you.

Attending not the contradictory
aspects of an obvious assassin
innermost dispositions of untruth.

For revolution of love
out of love for you
the revolution continues.
—Xzyzst

Tanisha Anderson: Divine Aesthetic Serenade
Time from time we
wrestle not your elegance,
from realms of magnificent
enters, amidst owing you,
your honorable embraces
of your divine aesthetic serenade.
—Xzyzst

Anthony Hill: Blood, Flesh and Tears
Assimilation into the divine
absolutely impossible
as you have already assimilated
your divine wealth into us

Where do we go from here?
We've only touched blood, flesh and tears.
Without you, for without you,
the rest of us are just
blood, flesh and tears.
—Xzyzst

Laquan McDonald: Young Flash
Intellectual rationalizations
have filled the skies
so we enact love tales
as love swells, fills our eyes.

Quickened paths in all of your
inner transitions of self creations
far beyond what is now left.

To rationalize my eyes with lies
thus, hypnotize my ears, to deaf.

Because I don't want to hear it
Your black life matters in spite who fears it.

Intellectual rationalizations fills the skies
We enacted love tales
as love swells, fills our eyes.
—Xzyzst

Alton Sterling: Museum
So we put this casket
made of mirrors back into the ground
to sprout again, because the fact is,
Alton Sterling is also Michael Brown.

Have we not grieved Tamir yet?
Have not the police relieved their fear yet?

I hear your seed sobbing,
moaning and groaning, he's too young to know.
Bullets and flesh and blood on a street curb,
our earth can't absorb the nerve
to make anything edible grow.

So along with hatred,
pain and frustration, starves together,
where Earth has become the only place
in the multiverses where we can't see stars together.

So we put this casket
made of mirrors
into a museum.
—Xzyzst
