MIKE TYSON’S AMERIKKKA by Brandon Johnson [presented by Amy Lawless]

Brandon Johnson assembled this poem for Mike Tyson from his own quoted speech. Now I present it to you.  

MIKE TYSON'S AMERIKKKA

I’m just a dark guy

From a den of iniquity

A dark shadowy figure

From the bowels of iniquity

I wish I could be the Mike

Who gets an endorsement deal

But you can’t make a lie and a truth go together

This country wasn’t built on moral fiber

This country was built on rape, slavery, murder,

degradation and affiliation with crime

I’m too stigmatized in this country

I want to do something

That will have a tangible effect on people

I live in a world where I’m not too media-friendly

I would never be a success story in this country

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I’m addicted to perfection

Problem with my life is

I was always also addicted to chaos

Perfect chaos

There’s no one perfect

Jimmy Swaggart is a lascivious character

Mike Tyson is lascivious

But we’re not criminally

At least I’m not

Criminally lascivious

You know what I mean

I may like to fornicate

More than other people

It’s just who I am

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I sacrifice so much of my life

Can I at least get laid?

I mean, I been robbed of most of my money

Can I at least get a blowjob

Without the people wanting to harass me

And wanting to throw me in jail?

Don’t be surprised

If I behave like a savage

I am a savage

Who am I?

I don’t even know who I am

I’m just a dumb child

Who’s being abused and robbed by lawyers

I’m just a dumb pugnacious fool

I’m just a fool who thinks he’s someone

Then you tell me I should be responsible
