Ease Off Invidious

Invidious individuals invade with their invisible infractions
in fact men act wack when
my ball cap enters city centers to entertain
as if it attained some criminal status
minimal matters of chance glances become silver platters
for all hedz to be decapitated
by a dilapidated capital state of sedated confusion
the intrusion intensifies when they testify to the illusion
that controlled by my faith I’m a soul-stealing wraith
wait, I’m revealing our fate as wood shaped on the lathe of earth’s axis.
Your practice of interpreting us as actors is factless,
interrupting with tactless assumptions;
A resumption of Delegating
elevating an elating waiting populace,
stoppin’ this opulence
assiduously indigenous
to the Invidious.
