+----Sweeping Sand Over Kanye's Failed Album

Kanye when you stormed Taylor’s
VMA stage in 2009
and swiped the microphone from
her hands, it was the snap and recoil
of a whip, it was a balled fist usurping
dignity of one unsuspecting and
unprepared. A privileged Egyptian
thrashing a Hebrew slave cruelly.
Then, it was just a faint echo
of familiar strife overheard from the foyer
of a decorous Pharaoh’s palace (the
music industry), albeit unsettling. But today,
the gratuitous, contrived, unnecessary
ad hominem attack on Taylor is the
cacophonous sound of one yelping
at the hands of a merciless barbarian
masquerading as the civilized sane. And I
will not abide. As advocate of God’s love
for the glory of humanity, Taylor Swift,
I must intervene.
This poem is my criticism of you, it is Moses
rushing towards your pride to seize it as
a man’s throat, fury of the divine.
My dead eyed chokehold on your arrogance,
your feet dangling as I jerk the body of your
pathetic music career back and forth, is
repudiation of all the hegemony Ive witnessed
in Ahmose’s house, a house responsible
for an excess of innocent lives lost. And this time,
no…Imma not let you finish, not let you finish
not let you finish! Your forthcoming apology
will be too late, like blood streaming down
the Egyptian robe of the limp body of a wannabe
rapper’s failed new album I bury in the sand of
irrelevance. With no attendant guilt.
(Leave Taylor Swift alone bro).

-----------------Exodus 2:11-15
One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. Looking this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?” The man said, “Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and thought, “What I did must have become known.” When Pharaoh heard of this, he tried to kill Moses, but Moses fled from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian, where he sat down by a well.
