POEM for 2020

Ola, Dos mil veinte
Ola, vamonos
Let's get it on
perfect vision
can't claim blindness
you see clearly now
no excuse
You see God
You see devil
don't lie in 2020
No fake news fake blues fake jazz fake ass
time for low down funky truth
butt naked truth
no metaphor innuendo circumlocution 
alternative facts no solution
Cornel say keep the funk in place
don't hide the funk conceal the funk
keep it real keep it funky
Cornel say that's why we love Elijah Muhammad
Malcolm X Martin Luther King, jr.
Fannie Lou Hamer
They kept the funk in place.
JB say ain't it funky now!
2020
perfect vision
no illusion
you know donald is the devil
Demos devils too
take lesser of two evils
don't hesitate
We see clearly now
Frisco fog lifted
Sunny day in Bay
See Golden Gate
Escape illusions delusions 
psycho drama
you know what mama said
nappy head!
--Marvin X
