Black Bolt's Big Mouth

couldn't keep your mouth shut
to save your world
you monitored your dreams
no sleeping mouth motions

safety in silence still
mom and dad blown to kingdom come
brother's brain broken
insane
when sibling rivalry
turned treacherous
communication cut-off in a coup

dropping your f-bomb
blew up bigger than
Hiroshima and Nagasaki
from forces in your mind
made manifest with adolescent
hormonal mists manufactured
to harvest your dormant inner fruit
planted generations ago
by machiavellian masters
to turn your one of a kind gift to
production

the black sheep among the white sheep masses
when you bah
mountains crumble

the shepherd banished from the field
you claim your staff
of close country cousins

can caste and class in your country continue
to divide and hide
how closely knit from the same ball of wool
spun by the same weaver
your brother the deceiver
and you
the believer
in right and wrong and being strong

contemplate consider
the corrupted caste
once equals now inferior
due to a tear in their genetic fabric

laid low
put in their place
just no respect

Can you listen as well as you control?
your mind and mouth
