The Dozens


Nothing is more strange than a stranger, 
Except those who think me higher.
Like a pedestal of vanity 
Made of drift wood and mud: 
The accretion is the pivot of anonymity; 
thus, your God remains faceless. 
Think me higher, regardless of the ball and chain 
Around my neck as I'm playing the dozens 
With niggas of the lowest quality: 
Missing an arm, a leg, or breasts 
Like a 1st. generation leper 
With a price tag on the leash of a stranger.
