We dont talk about it

We dont talk about it

A Poem by isiah_holmes

Mamma brought a dude home, we don't talk about it
Daddy dipped out, we don't talk about it
Sissy's real pissed, we don't talk about it
Mama knocked her out, we don't talk about it

There's a lot happening, man, we don't talk about it
The world is fucked up, we don't talk about it
Take a look around and tell me what you see
Look into the mirror friend and tell me where you'll be
Slashing down quiet streets paved by city cheer
I come back home from playing around to hide from city fear
And in my rest, as i sleep, i wonder where'd you go
So i end up running from this house and the skeletons i know

Mama brought a dude home, we don't talk about it
She call's him Mr.Berry, we don't talk about it
Sissy's pissed off, we don't talk about it
Mama knocked her out so we won't talk about it

Hes an open racist, we don't talk about it
And he got re-elected, we don't talk about it 
Bush the war crook, we don't talk about it
Obama bombed ya, we still don't want to talk about it
High school clicks wrong? Man, we don't talk about it
Mama passed out, we don't talk about it

Im not from the ghetto, Im not even from a hood
But you know its on my mind probably more than it should
They murder kids here, and the people don't talk about it
My uncle dropped his friend, then got zapped up, so he can't talk about it
My great grand dad, we don't talk about him
They shot him in the woods, the fam can't talk about it

Floating back and fourth like a ship from outer space
I find it easy to imagine memories of smiles on saddened face
I'm happy to have met you here, that i hope you
But my head is on the tweak, i guess that's why you said no

He cheated on his girl, we don't talk about it
That chick gets too hammed, we don't talk about it
Soldiers raid a house to put a bullet in a spouse
Man, you already know, we're not trying to talk about it 
Why don't we talk about it
Why, why don't we talk about it
Why don't we talk about it
Why, why don't we talk about it
Why don't we talk about it
Why, why don't we talk about it
Why don't we talk about it 
Why, why don't we talk about it

Why don't we talk about it
Front'in like your trying to talk about it
I get up trying to leave, neighbor's stalk-lurking
I walk on down my block, seems there's always a pig lurking
Stopped up my street, sir, i'm just going home
When he called for backup i knew he lives within a dome
And these people here, it seems, have hearts made out of stone
And then you wonder why these kids always get so stoned

Mama broke down, I don't talk about it
She told me she had enough but she won't talk about it
That kid fucked up, he won't talk about it
All this s**t that's wrong, maybe we should talk about it

We don't talk about it, the CIA won't talk about it
They've just been wasting people, how could you at least not think about it?
Locked up in a tower made of shards of broken glass
Steadily getting aggravated by these haters in my class
I guess you don't understand the damage you inflict
I guess you will not understand how this makes me want to quit
And the spit that falls from your teeth as a lie slips from your lips
You lie, you lie until i leave this chair in which i sit

My dads a christian man, he beat his sisters lover
Hateful abusive lover, the actions of my father
His dads an army vet, gun hoe man, opinions set
And i bet he packs that .9 so he can get down like Palestine
How many people have you killed grand dad?
How many people have killed you grand dad?
How many legacies have you known that were born in Nam and died in Baghdad
Get down for rocket in come
Hired killer trying to make his income
Mercenaries don't get scary, drop a dude who just got married
And you know that mans son will see
Mass killing JSOC keeps low key
And i don't see how you don't see how he will see Jihad as "Will be"
But you know that us kid's don't protest
Why is the right always for this warfest?
Im about to say f**k this s**t, anyways, we don't talk about it

Mama said deuces, I don't talk about it
She came back with a fat ring, she won't talk about it
My daddy moved on, he won't talk about it 
Fragmented family gone, why would i talk about it?

We don't talk about it
We don't, we don't talk about it
We don't talk about it
We don't, we don't talk about it
We don't talk about it
We don't, we don't talk about it
We don't talk about it
We don't talk about s**t
