Oscars 2006


Look who
made it to the silver screen
got
long lean
lines
trailers for miles
look out!

got drama
that weeps
and laughs
and pauses
and moves

cause colored people bend
and move
with force

and this is for the stellar,
yes the stellar

but somewhere, somehow, something
went wrong

we're
killer cops

pimp walking
gimps

and highfalutin
whores

unabashedly yours
please sign
the autograph on the dotted line

indistinguishable
individuality
we would have if
us were not we

rapping and acting and cracking jokes
all look alike, to me, you say

red carpet dazzle that leads to
silver screens
sequestering us
like giftwrapped silver screams

but we still dream
