Yusef Komunyakaa - Ghazal, After Ferguson lyrics

Ghazal, After Ferguson Somebody go & ask Biggie to orate what's going down in the streets. No, an attitude is not a suicide note written on walls around the streets. Twitter stays lockstep in the frontal lobe as we hope for a bypa** beyond the streets, but only each day bears witness in the echo chamber of the streets. Grandmaster Flash's thunderclap says he's not the grand jury in the streets, says he doesn't care if you're big or small fear can k** a man on the streets. Take back the night. Take k**joy's cameras & microphones to the streets. If you're holding the hand lightning strikes juice will light you up miles from the streets where an electric chair surge dims all the county lights beyond the streets. Who will go out there & speak laws of motion & relativity in the streets? This morning proves a crow the only truth serum in the street.
