Food In A Box

food in a box

 

the problem i have is this - food in a box

as an urban dweller, skill seller

im marketable, size 10 in my socks

i can find anywhere anyplace to sell and be sold to

 

clothes off the rack fit

i got enough snaps to pick it up if i so desire

i say wrap it up homes, flash the card

get certified

(the hangers are wood, not wire)

 

so i step to the pad

quite happy - having hunted and gathered

new duds for the hoe down

so i go downtown and across the bridge

to my flat with the empty fridge

 

you see the problem i have is this - food in a box

can't cook for myself - gotta look to the shelf

sardines capn crunch and crackers with the elf.

no justice

 

from their rack to my rack

i hang the slacks and think a minute bout being black

or whatever i am blackness wants to mack this feeling

and call it out so i can shout, now im reeling

 

why the hell do i dwell so well in this way

throwing empty cartons in a bag every day

and plastic at that

and call this urban drama living fat?

 

maybe my grandpa could use the tool

of forty acres and a mule

as for me i gotta have a mac and a mouse

cause that's what i learned in school

not keeping a house

 

so, the problem i have is this - food in a box

trust the label though im not able

to tell vitamin a from cholesteral

cant grow spinach to save my soul, yall

so i hope a honey

(in the language of the oppressed, about

the cute objects in a dress)

might cook for me

so ill convince her that my degree

is the key

to our mutual sucess

 

don't get too fresh

remember who wears the pants, who wears the dress

a situation like that works

dysfunctionally, with much pain, for better or worse

but mostly worse - they warn you ahead of time

that box is a crime

 

i guess the problem i have is this - food in a box

sometimes if im critical i get political

and all riled up about an issue as old has the hills

i wait for the next senate bill

and hope my choice with a pipsqueak voice

call in to oprah and wait on the line

like this is democracy, dont worry be happy

got no ability to sway the senate my way

cept once every six for two out of a hundred

did my mission get funded?

no tell me what to do till they pass the ballot box again

 

eat food in a box

get sick as a dog chewing like a bump on a log

and the box maker's high on the hog

no justice

 

america is a super duper market

and all the food is boxed

consume it, you consumer!

spread the lies as a rumor of truth

food in a box is nutrition as proof

see the supermodel smile

knowing all the while

(from lifestyles of the rich and famous

beat a path to her retreat for peace and she blames us)

its a bogus current affair, what nerve to try it

peddled with subliminal flair, we know but still we buy it

pay with cash if it's there or loot if it's a riot.

 

the problem i have is this - food in a box.

wathcing the idiot box for the 88th time

i promised to give the insulter the boot

for the crime of poisining my mind

drive in my car, to get food for the vcr

feed it and weep, if its drama i select

nothing but sheep we become if it's not in check

but a library's too unboxed with no direction

guess i check the calendar section

 

is there nothing i can find on my own

without some package or label to tell me

or psuedo intellectual critics to sell me

is there no soil left for me to seed

no living to posess for other than greed
