With every beat of my heart
With every beat of my mind

I'm the clenched fist dragging on the concrete of my town
I am the gnarled smiling face of a twisted laughing clown
Like an unearthed jewel of ill-educated teaching
I'm the grasping hand of want, that never will stop reaching
A starved little brethren whose reached  his full potential 
In society groomed by the those deemed influential,
I Beat
Beat
Beat 
Beat
In a narrative controlled by the unseen far and few
In which the messages of God put the fear in life of you
Like the slapped legs of child will  forever leave a mark
There’s no room for the Devine, while people starve in the parks
But true to ‘The Word’ the meek inherit, kick, spit and to rise 
Behold fear of retribution in the sacred cherubs eyes, 
I Beat 
Beat
Beat
Beat
There’s blood red writing on the wall, that’s scrawled in graffiti 
And the drawn sharpened knifes they  signal no treaty 
As emission gases rise and the atmosphere changing
You can see the neglect is deep and even more devastating 
And I can’t believe the media and the rhetoric that they speak 
With political agendas that are steeped in deceit 
I Beat
Beat
Beat
Beat
Its not the physical pain, or razor slash that’s defeating  
Or leaves opened mouthed aghast like the primal scream painting
But the fact that I trudge through this intellectual mirth 
And for every page that  I turn, I lose a little more self worth 
Its a stomach churning journey of  contempt and realisation 
To see were still defined by class, in this multi racial nation, 
I Beat
Beat
Beat
Beat
Entrenched masculinity is patterned and projected on the street
But the laboured life of workers has  long been stolen by a thief 
Mothers apron strings hold strong and kisses taste sweet
I have yet to meet a woman whose strength you can defeat
While non binary define and challenge who really are
I see unique individuals reaching for the stars, and 
I  Beat
Beat
Beat
Beat

With every beat of my heart
With every beat of my mind
